All of Me (us)

I listen to K-love quite often... I'm sure that is not a shocker. I love it.... Anyway, one day the family was sitting in our car waiting for..... I don't know what.... Something (great details right?!?!?) Anyway the song "All of Me" by Matt Hammitt came on.


LYRICS: 

Afraid to love

Something that could break
Could I move on 
If you were torn away
And I'm so close 
To what I can't control
I can't give you half my heart
And pray He makes you whole

You're gonna have all of me
You're gonna have all of me
'Cause you're worth every falling tear
You're worth facing any fear
You're gonna know all my love
Even if it's not enough
Enough to mend our broken hearts
But giving you all of me 
Is where I'll start

I won't let sadness 
Steal you from my arms
I won't let pain keep you from my heart
I'll trade the fear of all that I could lose 
For every moment I'll share with you

You're gonna have all of me
You're gonna have all of me
'Cause you're worth every falling tear
You're worth facing any fear
You're gonna know all my love
Even if it's not enough
Enough to mend our broken hearts
But giving you all of me 
Is where I'll start

Heaven brought you to this moment
It's too wonderful to speak
You're worth all of me 
You're worth all of me
So let me recklessly love you
Even if I bleed
You're worth all of me 
You're worth all of me



This song is about Matt's worries about his unborn child. They weren't sure if their child was going to make it through the pregnancy and birth. Matt started to  build up some walls to try and protect his heart from the possibility of losing his child. As I sat in the car and sang with the radio the words spoke so much to me! The first time through the chorus I really started to belt it out (those of you who know me, know when I say belt out the chorus I'm not being dramatic.... I love singing... and I just go for it.. no reservations... don't judge!) Anyway, as I belted out the chorus I felt these words hitting my heart and suddenly I'm not just singing the words, but I'm praying them, I'm saying them to my adopted child... wherever my child is right now... whatever my child is doing right now.... I was singing this to them.

I know this adoption process going to be a roller coaster of a ride. I know that there are going to be times where I'm going to feel defeated and that we're NEVER going to have our child home. But right then and there I decided that my adopted child is going to have all of me, know all my love (even if it's not enough), and through this journey I'm going to try my very hardest to not build up those barriers over my heart! I want my adopted child to know not just my (and THE MAN's and the Bash's) love, but God's love! Our family has so much love to give, I cannot wait to spread it to them.... 


So, wherever you are child of mine (ours)...... You're in for it! :) We're already in the process of finding you, loving you, bringing you home to where you belong (with us), and loving on you! 



WE'RE SOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!
