One thing I'm learning in the midst of the adoption process is that while it's so easy to focus the end. The finalized adoption. The growth of a family. The realization of a dream. There's so much that can be missed if we are focused on the finish line.
So I'm trying. Trying to enjoy each day and live it to it's fullest. Back in the day... the "finish line" was marriage. I spent wayyyyy too much time waiting for/looking towards that goal. I missed some important stuff. While marriage is more wonderful than I could've imagined... I do wish I had focused on the moment more often than I did.
Luckily... I serve a God who KNOWS me. He knows that given the chance I'll focus on the finish line and not the journey. The journey ... I've learned... is the best part. Our wedding was great... Our marriage is better! So... note to self.... enjoy each day. Enjoy every. little. part. My busy schedule is a joyous distraction for that finish line. :-) While life is extremely stressful and hectic lately... I welcome it. It's all part of this awesome and wonderful journey and I don't want to wish away a minute of it!
With love and Joy,
