Feeling this song. The words are so true in my heart and head.
Matt Hammitt "All of Me"
Afraid to love
Something that could break
Could I move on
If you were torn away?
And I'm so close to what I can't control
I can't give you half my heart
And pray He makes you whole
(Chorus)
You're gonna have all of me
You're gonna have all of me
'Cause you're worth every falling tear
You're worth facing any fear
You're gonna know all my love
Even if it's not enough
Enough to mend our broken hearts
But giving you all of me is where I'll start
I won't let sadness steal you from my arms
I won't let pain keep you from my heart
I'll trade the fear of all that I could lose
For every moment I share with you
Chorus
Heaven brought you to this moment, it's too wonderful to speak
You're worth all of me, you're worth all of me
So let me recklessly love you, even if I bleed
You're worth all of me, you're worth all of me
Chorus (X2)
It's where I'll start

Newborn
I am grateful to be sharing the news that we've had a foster placement, who we were lucky enough to get to bring home from the hospital. It's a rare thing for that to happen here in NE, so we are feeling very blessed to get to experience these first few days with our new little guy. He is such a sweet baby. He has a beautiful head of hair and weighed a whopping 9 lb. 5 oz. and was 21 1/2 inches long.
We are loving every minute, enjoying the baby noises and sleepless nights.. it's night two tonight and last night went so well, Michael and I relished in the late night feedings.. enjoyed the feeling of us being the only ones who were awake at those hours and feel blessed to get to share in this little ones life. Our case is going to be a long one, there are many factors and court proceedings that we will be waiting on.. we are just taking it one day at a time and loving on him for however long we have him..
I write with a grateful heart and pray that this little life will be safe and secure.... praising God that he is here now, where he is.

Saying Yes.
Yes. I say that word a lot during a days time. However, in foster care saying yes, changes everything and getting to the place where yes is the answer takes time and processing. Situations that are beyond my comprehension, but children that I long to take in seem to overshadow the unknowns I fear.
We've said yes to two children, one who will come right away and another that will come later. We are waiting behind any available and suitable family members who may come through the woodwork. Honestly hoping that none come is a weird feeling... but, I must be honest and say we hope that we are the ones who will take in these littles. We are willing and waiting to do all we can to make life easier as we wait on the system to do what it has to. We had the weekend to process through our decision and we went back and forth on it.. we wanted them, but we feared that we wouldn't get them.. which makes saying yes harder in some ways, because we have opened our hearts to these littles and we know that as of now it's not a for sure thing... hoping to know for sure soon.. but it takes time to locate and search out family... so we wait and hope.
My heart is whispering yes... and my head is telling me to take it slow... but oh how I want to take them in. We shall see what tomorrow brings. Prepping for what could be and trying to remain cautious. Pray for the littles this situation affects.. pray for justice, pray for mercy, pray! Thank you!
