My cup overflows

This day...I have been dreading.

But as the Mommies came in and out this morning, I was given cards, cookies, smiles and hugs. 

My cup overflows.

When I started this journey nine years ago, I can remember being as anxious as I am today about our next journey.  I remember thinking...can I do this?  Am I even qualified to do this?

As it turns out, I was.

I have loved these kids as my own. 

I have watched over them...protected them...taught them...and spent hours upon hours just watching them grow.

My cup overflows.

I am sad today.  But I am also so very grateful for the time I have gotten to spend with some amazing families.  They have been such a blessing in all of our lives and I will miss them all...more than I can say.

Today I am making this about the blessings of what I have had with everyone and not about what I will miss.  I know that God has a plan for my life....for their lives...and for our journey. 

So...to

Logan and Drew

I love you all very much.

Have a blessed Friday~

Amy, I felt the same way almost four years ago when I started my journey at home again after 25 plus years of working outside the home. You will always have "anxious" times! That is life - it's about change and it creates "anxious times" but, it also gives you new adventures, new rewards and opportunities you can't even imagine right now! Love you -
Mom (Enjoy today!)
