One year ago today....

Lives were changed forever. 

While I was home thinking (and blogging) about baby names for our unknown baby and praying that God would soon reveal him/her to us on the other side of the world our child was being born. 

On that day, many, many people already loved him and were sacrificing for him. 

Today, I am thinking of Jee Han's birth mother. What an unbelievable sacrifice she made one year ago today. I think about how she must have felt. We know a few things about her and the most impactful thing we know is that she really, deeply loved her child, our child.

I pray that today God brings her comfort. As we are celebrating here with cinnamon rolls and candles, presents and songs, she is without her child, our child. 

Thank you, Dear Lord, for the wonderful woman that gave us our baby boy. I pray that when she thinks about Jee Han that you would give her an overwhelming sense of peace that he is doing incredibly well. Give her the kind of comfort that can only come from you. Bless her today by allowing her to have a sweet day. Please put people along her path that will show her your love. 

Amen.
