"The Story"

I'm sorry I haven't posted for the past week. I have made myself very busy because the wait has hit me hard the past week. For those of you who read and have not adopted or are not in process, I am aware of the wait time and I was aware that I was going to have to wait when I began the process, but what would you do if your daughter wasn't at home? I hope and pray that she has someone to love and comfort her. I pray that she has food to eat and that her birth mother had good prenatal care. Last week I began thinking of my daughter's birth day. Chances are, I will never know the exact day of her birth, only an approximate. I hope her birth is celebrated. I hope people are excited and anxiously awaiting her arrival. Anyway, that's enough melancholoy for now. I heard this great song a few weeks ago by Brandi Carlile called "The Story". I just love it so I hope you don't mind reading through the lyrics:

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you

I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
Yeah you do and I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth
Is hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through but you do
And I was made for you
