I love your idea that it's a commitment, not a cause. Thank you for your insight and blessings on whole family.

Our white like us (thank God no one would ever know) kids fell apart and God rebuilt and is still them and us. Lean in, do what you can do next, now and remember Love NEVER fails (when it is God's kind). Thrilled to pray with you and others you influence. You will know God more. Mom of 4, 15-21. Working now and your dads tweet directed me here. He is helping me be a better manager in my work place. The body of Christ. It is reflective of Him, amazing. Megan,

It is one of the most essential traits for any mama. But when you are handed two children at once....with a whole story already planted in their hearts...questions unanswered...or answered badly...and you feel compelled to fill in all the gaps...to make it ok...when your heart bleeds for the empty places...and your body longs for one night of all the way through sleep...tenacity takes on new colors. And depths. Could I just say to you that, even when you are weary...I have never seen you more radiant. There is a light in you that says, "I am where I belong." On the really hard days, cling to that. I am as sure of it as I have ever been of anything. God chose you and Joel (and Fionn and Felicity) for Moses and Jonah, and them for you. That doesn't mean it will be easy. Most things worth having are not. It does mean there is a work of becoming that He would do in each of you that cannot be done without the others. You are exactly where you belong, best beloved. Be strong and courageous. I love you. Tenacity. It is one of the most essential traits for any mama.

It is a HARD road and so many days just call for more grace and mercy than I ever think I can muster. Totally worth it but still hard. Thanks for sharing! So well written and perfectly stated.
