Crier

I'm so not a crier. I most of the time cry when I'm mad or really really sad.. I'm not a cry at Hallmark commercial type of girl. Despite what Nick says, I'm not emotional.
Until today...

This morning driving to work, I just got to thinking about how I would feel sitting on the couch waiting for the social worker and foster mom to bring Bates in. I imagined how I would feel the first time I saw his sweet face. I had tears in my eyes. I think one even found it's way to my cheek.

This afternoon on the way home from work, I rolled the winds down, put my sunglasses on, and turned my radio up and just wanted to spend some time thanking the Lord for providing for us, for leading us to our son, and to chat with Him about our trip.

I kid you not, the first song ended and the radio host said, "This is John Waller, with While I'm Waiting". I claimed this song for myself before we even sent in our adoption application. I even wrote a post about it here. Seriously, before he even started singing, there were tears running down my face! I knew God played that song just for me. He was saying, "you waited, you were faithful, now go get your son!"

I'm sure today is just the first of MANY crying days ahead. I can't even think about taking my son out of his foster mom's arms without tearing up. Better go make sure I pack the waterproof mascara!
