God's delay of a dream is not necessarily denial of a dream. He could be deferring the desires of your heart for something greater than you ever imagined. The adoption of our precious son, Hayes, is proof that petitions to the Lord are never in vain. I dreamed of being a mother for years...Hayes Mikhail from Baby House #3 in Moscow was my answer to many prayers.
A year ago I officially became his mommy when I scooped him out of his orphanage for good and he became a part of our family. I'm so grateful that our family was created through the miracle of adoption. I wouldn't have it any other way. We celebrated Hayes' Gotcha Day by inserting facts and prayer points for Russia in every place card at the dinner table. With bowls of borscht (beet soup) and Russian tea cookies to munch on, we thanked God as a family for the life of Hayes. And we capped off the evening with our annual tradition of pumpkin carving!
A perfect fall evening.
