Counting For Caleb {1}

Three months...the amount of time that I have spent contemplating how to adequately write Caleb's birth story.

For maybe the first time in my adult life, pen to paper has not equaled words written and a heart expressed.  Fear of not piecing the words together in a way that points to the Creator has resulted in many unsuccessful rough drafts, In response, I have decided to bite the bullet, lasso my fear of failure, and do my very best to share the beautiful (hand written by God himself) story of our precious Caleb Jesse.

As I think back on the past 8 months, I recognize a common theme.  COUNTING.  Counting the months of being a waiting family.  Counting gestational weeks.  Counting down 60 days until our first court appearance.  Counting the days until March 6 when the adoption will be finalized.  Counting the number of lives that have been forever changed by this one baby.  Counting the sheer amount of joy that he has brought to our already joyful family.

For this reason, I will be "counting" blog posts in the October in hopes of documenting our adoption journey,,."Counting for Caleb".
