Defending

Our family is doing very well. We had a wonderful Christmas season and count our blessings. The top of the list of blessings are our wonderful children whom we adore. Watching them grow up makes us so excited we have two more on the way. Speaking of having two more on the way, it seems like more and more I am defending that fact of adoption and pregnancy. Either I feel like I am defending my abilities to have two more young children at home or I am defending our desire to adopt from China. But I am learning to stop trying to make everyone understand and allow God to take care of that. I am learning that I don't have to explain myself to everyone. So as we continue to wait for our two precious children to arrive, I need to remember that instead of defending myself, I need to thank God for the two more blessings he is bestowing on our family.
