Today on the way home from picking Landon up from school, the song "All I Really Want" by Steven Curtis Chapman played on the radio. If you have not heard this song, it is about an orphan who only wants a family for Christmas. As the song played, the words pierced my heart.
In May 2007, I had a pregnancy that ended with a miscarriage. From that point, my Crohn's Disease spiraled downhill and I was sick through the most of last school year. During that time, I did not know if I could get pregnant again. Adoption has always been on my heart since I was a little girl. As the song played, I knew it was more than emotion. We are trusting God to continue to lead our family - maybe one day we can answer this prayer for a child . . .
All I really want for Christmas
Is someone to tuck me in
A shoulder to cry on if I lose
Shoulders to ride on if I win
There’s so much I could ask for
But there’s just one thing I need
All I really want for Christmas is a family.
