There are so many amazing people you meet via the world of adoption.
On the whole I would generalize them as people who have a heart with love to share and seek out a child to pour that energy into. A way of building a family. That is what it was for me, but as I've met more and more people, who share this road to build family and spread love, aside from the average adoptive family there are stand-out people who are more like angels living amongst us, who take it to an entirely different plane of comprehension than anything I could come up with on my own.
They are inspired, to spread love and honor God by going above and beyond the regular protocol, to rescue/protect/shelter/honor... I don't know the right word; to love without condition a damaged soul.
To seek out the weaker beings and less obviously optimistic circumstances, to stretch further, and dig deeper to go to a level most of us would be too timid to risk treading towards, because it carries greater risk, less security of a positive ending.
I came across this blog, and this family's story is sad and inspirational and awe inspiring and I wish I could love and relinquish expectations this freely and find hope in the darkest corner and trust that no matter what, God is in control, and doesn't require my worries or concerns to block what is the ultimate act of living in his image.
To love and accept people for no other reason than you are born and that makes you worth everything in his eyes, and if you are lucky enough to cross paths with one of those angels who walk amongst us who are here to be an example of how to live your best life to take note and absorb some of that hope and faith.
Please take a moment to visit this blog
Hope for Elisyn - A journey to heal her broken Heart and read the story of this family and the leap of faith they took to love and save this beautiful girl.
Perhaps if we gather together to lift her up in prayer, we can be part of a wondrous opportunity to bring hope and happiness to this family and brighten our own life experience by sharing our energies to lift up a family member in need.
I am so touched that people have such a capacity for giving and loving, I pray God will let her light shine long and strong here on earth before he calls
this angel home.
Hug your loved ones extra tight, because our blessings are so much more than we comprehend.

What do you think of me now?
Do you notice anything different? I've gotten an extreme make-over; well not me per say, but my blog.
My dear friend Christie, took the time out of her very busy schedule to bless me with an entirely new look and feel for my little corner of blogville.
I am crazy for the new look and inspired to pay more attention to posting on a more consistent basis, but more than that I am so touched that she would pause her very busy life to invest her time and talent on me.
Christie is one of my benefits acquired through the world of adoption. The wait brought us together, but after we were done waiting we got busy becoming real friends and I am so grateful for her companionship, humor, understanding and friendship.
She and her family now reside in my heart and I am so thankful to count her as a true friend.
