So one of the hardest parts of older child adoption, for us, has been trying to teach Abby about God and Jesus...
It's different when you're raised hearing about Him all of your life... Faith just seems to come easier. But Abby has had so many questions... Good questions... Questions that have caused me to examine my faith and to learn to speak the language of a child...
But there have been times when I've been so frustrated, wondering if she will ever have faith... She would giggle when we prayed... Act bored when we read the Bible... BUT tonight, she blew me away...
Mackenzie has a lizzard and as we were putting Abby to bed, she said, "Mommy, that lizzard thinks he's the king." I responded, "Well Abby, he is the king of his home."
And Abby said, "Really mommy? But God is King!"
Faith, like attachment, is a process... God is clearly bigger than her past... He is truly the God of the impossible!

It's as if she has always been with you. That's something Alaina would say. Only God. :)
