They’re Both Mine
@tapestryministry
I have two daughters, one by adoption and one by birth…
Two girls, two different stories.  Both mine.

Have you ever watched a broken heart heal?
@filledwithpraise
Some days it is so easy to see the healing of his heart through the progress he is making.  Yet other days it feels as if we are back to day one. 

Keeping the Lid on Tight
@onethankfulmom
This is another step of letting go, of admitting that we are not who we used to be, and of being uncomfortably needy.

Finish Line

Oh the things that come out at bedtime

I love the words to this song by Tim and Laurie Thornton of The Blackthorn Project because it describes our adoption in Christ.  It’s called The Mud Song…

isn't it just like you to invite me into a warm house

isn't it just like you to stroke my hair as I fall asleep

Father you made me yours

found my orphan heart and brought it home

and I'm safe here and I sing

isn't it just like you to make a slave into your daughter

isn't it just like you to make wine out of dirty water

I used to live in chains

my wounds bled to the ground

my bed was out in the rain

my hair in knots and soaked in mud

but you took my hand

and you led me in

and you combed my hair

you kissed my skin

and you gave me food

you made me yours

YOU MADE ME YOURS
