Baby Shower

Today my mom and sister threw me a baby shower. It was so nice. Boy did we ever cut that one close. If we had planned it 1 week later, I would not have been there for my own baby shower. My mom and sister did a great job and I think everyone had a great time. Zachary is so lucky to already have so many people who care about him already. Throughout the adoption process, my family and friends have all been very supportive. There have been alot of twists and turns, joys, as well as heartaches during this three year journey, but I know that everything was for a reason and was suppose to happen the way it did as God had chosen Zachary to be my son. I can't believe that the journey TO my son is almost over and the journey WITH my son about to begin. I saw this on a fellow blogger's website:

"A child sat on Jesus' lap in the splendor of heaven.
The child asked, "Is it time?"
Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said,"No, not yet child.
"The child asked "When will it be time?
"Jesus replied, "When lessons are learned,hardships endured, and
loneliness lived,then it will be time.
"Time passed.
The child asked, "Is it time?
"Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said,"No, not yet child.
"The child asked, "When will it be time?
"Jesus replied, "When maturity is reached,self-worth affirmed and
spirits strengthened, then it will be time.
"Time passed.
The child asked, "Is it time?
"Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said,
"Their love is strong and their hearts are open.
Yes, now it is time-Your parents are ready."~author unknown
