Today was Morgans first school performance. I always love to go to the kindergarten performance because there are so many new moms in the crowd that when the kids come out on stage they all race to the front like the paparazzi chasing Princess Di. I have had a few kindergarten performances under my belt so I thought to myself I would be sitting in my seat laughing at all of them. Boy was I wrong. My daughter was on stage. When she came out on the stage and I saw her little eyes scanning the crowd looking for me I hopped to my feet so she could find me and raced up front with my camera in hand. Its funny how I felt when she came out on the stage. She wasnt my foster daughter...she was mine. It is funny how that made me feel. I love my foster children so very very much but there is something special about knowing its YOUR child. And when she opened her little mouth to sing with the rest of the children I couldnt help but get a little misty as I sat there and thought about all the things this beautiful little girl has been through to see her now is just a miracle. Its the working of God in her life. I was overwhelmed. I am so grateful to have been chosen by God to be the mother of this little girl. Tonight I got to reap some of the benefit of the sacrifice we make when we become a mom. Sure she may cry to try and get her way sometimes...she might make a mess when I wish she wouldnt....but who cares...all that seems so trivial when you see them in their first little kindergarten performance and you sit and think about all that this child has the potential to become. God has charged me with an awesome responsibility. I didnt deserve such an awesome blessing but he gave it to me anyway....thats why we named her Grace...Morgan Grace...Grace means unmerited favor from God.
