When Anna goes through regular life and has a 'bump in the road' she often doesn't and can't react to situations like a 'normal child'. Her "issues" and her adoption make it difficult to manage her emotions and her reactions. She is forever deeply wounded. At the core she is missing a piece that her daddy and I can't fix. But we know and can point her to the One who can... her Heavenly Father. We we hold her through her sobs that rack her body we know that He is holding her and holding us. We pray and we 'get her through' one more episode. We feel weak but we know we are strong. His strength is perfect.
So true, my friend.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes fear I don't share enough of the rough times.
They are there and they are real.
But, like you, I suppose I choose to share the warm, happy times as a way to document them and save them for the days when I need to relive them.
And man, those are some serious pumpkins!
Beautifully said Tara.
ReplyDeleteI too blog to remember the fun and good times along with some struggles we come upon along the way.
