We are....

Family, I got all my... well you know the rest:).  A word that means so much, to so many.  I think we can all say that we are a member of a family.  Some of my families include the family of God, Latimers, Browns, Camp (all of them), EAMH, Auburn, the list could go on and on and on!!  Family has been something that has been on my mind a lot lately-- partly due to the fact that Stuart and I just started a new family with the 2 of us, but also due to the fact that I have MANY friends are struggling to have the family that they have always longed for. 

Basically, I wanted to post this blog to share 2 things.  First, maybe this can be some sort of inspiration to those who are longing to "grow" their families in all ways possible, to take a look and be thankful for the family that they are a part of.  I can only imagine the longing, waiting, hurting, etc. that can come with this, but I do know that there is a plan somewhere, that will emerge and be perfect.  Second, I post this to bring light to the situations that many of my friends are going through and ask that you lift them up in your thoughts and prayers.  Know that we are all a part of a family, whether through blood, work, similarities or differences, but God gives us the family that he knows we need.  I am thankful for all of my families and have no question in my mind the purpose of each and everyone of them in my life.
