Our Adoption Story

4 years to celebrate

I’m still learning what love is
Everyday I wake up in your arms
I’m still trying to figure out what works
How to set off all your alarms

I’m still learning what love is
When I’m walking close to you
The best way to hold your hand in mine
The best way to comfort you

Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
It may always be this way

I’m still learning what love is
Every time you look at me that way
I’m still trying to figure out just how
You can still look at me the same

Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
It may always be this way

Even though i may not get it right
All the time i will always try
And i will always stand right by your side

I’m still learning what love is
Everyday I wake up in your arms
I’m still trying to figure out what works

Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
It may always be this way

Lyrics to "Guess it May" by Rosie Thomas




It's been four years since I walked down the aisle to this man that stared back at me with eyes full of wonderful affection. My heart was bursting with love and excitement, little did I know at that time that I could love him even more 4 years later. Our journey has not been easy, I'm sure every married couple would agree, trying to love someone else more than yourself is like putting a mirror up to your face constantly and showing you your short comings and inability to love well apart from Christ. It has caused us to cling to Christ, knowing that we can't do it without Him, and also cling to other friends sharing the weight with them. I am overwhelmed that I get to experience the beauty of seeing things through, that I get to glimpse God's heart for me in Adam's never stopping, never relenting commitment to honor God in this. We both love the lyrics to the above song, it just strikes some sort of a chord with us and our relationship and how we never want to feel like we have this figured out, we always want to be growing in ways to better know and love each-other.

I love this man, and I can't imagine my life without him. It certainly is an adventure being Mrs. Adam Clark!

awesome post - and congrats! and thanks for being such great people/friends. Amanda and i had a blast at your wedding - has it really been 4 years since then? crazy. we need to hook up and introduce Owen to Miles when you're eventually forced to trade in the west coast beaches for midwest humidity.

July 29, 2006 was a beautiful day...and a beautiful beginning to a relationship that is a blessing to all of us!

The lyrics to this song are really good...and true. We are approaching thirty-seven years and still figuring things out! The journey is exciting and I'm thankful to be walking this road with a husband who loves and honors God and loves me through it all.

You are both wonderful! I'm proud of you! Happy Anniversary!

Love,
Mama
