where has the time gone

today my life was forever changed 8 years ago- I had no idea what was to come in the next 6 years- for this was the day I became Marcus' mom- yes I adopted him through the foster care system and my life was forever changed and hopefully his too.
I have learned a lot over the last several years.
What are they you ask- here is a list
1. Unconditional Love is so powerful
2. that Nothing is Impossible for God to those who Believe
3. the power of prayer is so amazing
4. Trusting God with what He has entrusted you with
5. Hope is the promise of tomorrow
6. Never Giving Up - fight hard
7. that God can change things in an instant
8. Forgiveness is a powerful tool
9. Honesty is crucial and Consistency is essential
10. Laughter is needed

I encourage those of you looking to adopt - adopt those kids in foster care that need the loving homes that you have. These kids are amazing, I know this quite well. You can make a difference.
