Lindsey turned 6 this week. In so many ways it feels like just last week we were in China learning all about her. I hope one day she will understand how her birth changed me. Contrary to what people tell me (and I always reply with), I did not change her destiny. She has changed mine. God used her to open my eyes to much more than what I had felt or seen before.
On her birthday night she chose to have a family volleyball game and to bike to a neighborhood playground. I'm pretty sure all my other children would have picked a movie night. :)
Love. my. girl!
What a profound statement!! I *totally* agree with what you are saying about her birth and how it actually changed you!I haven't had the words to put with that feeling :)
