Going on 4 years now, November has become my hardest month. It carries my hysterectomy date and frankly the cold weather doesn't help either. I have had a really hard time this year thinking about my lack of lady parts and focusing on our families hopes of adoption. I was emptying the dishwasher today and stuck behind one of the racks was a whisk I have had since we got married. This whisk is seriously bent in crazy places, and Steve keeps asking me why I keep it. I thought about it today and figured out I can't bear to get rid of the first whisk I bought 11 years ago. It still works great and in fact because of the random wires being bent it mixes really well. Now I know this will sounds crazy but I related to a whisk today! I have been feeling not quite right and a little bent out of place lately. Parts of my body weren't made for carrying children but I am still useful and have the parts I need to take care of my family. I have a quote on my wall that I look at everyday and really believe. It says "decisions determine destiny" I truly believe that my decision to do all that our family can for adoption will lead us to a greater destiny whether we are able to adopt or not. We have met some fabulous birth moms along our journey and they are in my prayers night and day. I know that they might feel like this whisk sometimes to! Yes this is a super cheesy post but it was something I just felt like I needed to write about. I am hoping I can cheer myself up this November by focusing more on the needs of other. Sweet birth mother I hope we meet soon and you are in our prayers...
