Beautiful in its time

We watched "The Blind Side" tonight and I was on the verge of tears throughout. I have wanted to see the movie ever since listening to Sandra Bullock's acceptance speech for Best Actress at the Oscars.

The thing that got me was when she said that she "would like to thank what this film is about for me which are the moms that take care of the babies and the children no matter where they come from".

I want to be one of those mommas!

Watching the movie tonight, it felt like I was watching me. There is somebody out there I am longing to love. It just isn't time yet. And when it is time, God will make it happen. And despite my fears, it will be beautiful. No just for me or for the child alone, but for our entire family.

He has made every thing beautiful in his time. Ecclesiastes 3:11
