Today my prayers and questions were graciously answered, as I sat in Church pondering over these very thoughts, on all days- Mother's Day. About 10 minutes into the service, I looked 3 pews in front of us to see a Mother affectionately loving on her sweet daughter, who I would guess would be about 3 years old. The sight was beautiful, Mother holding her daughter, rocking her and just soaking in the moment. I smiled enjoying staring that the woman's back dressed in a navy dress her hair neatly curled and the little girls pink dress ruffles spilling over her sweet little legs which were tightly wrapped around her Mommy's waist. Moments later did I truly understand why I got a chance to witness the pure love between a mother and daughter. After catching a glimpse of this little girl's precious face I realized she was adopted and if I could guess I would say she was Chinese. Oprah Winfrey says it best.."It was my "Ah ha" moment, everything made sense. Tears running down my face I got it, God was telling me he hears my prayers, and I need to be patient. I need to trust him and know in my heart that this will happen, I will most definitely keep going and with a smile on my face....My dear Charlotte our time apart will be a distant memory we must stay strong, for it will be here soon.
"Traveling at such a slow pace,
Do you think you can ever get there?"
A fast steed asked the lame turtle
"Yes, as long as I keep going," said the turtle
-From Chinese saying, "Bo bie quian li" "A lame turtle goes a thousand miles"
