Madison is officially done with Kindergarten. Today was her last day of school, I can't believe how quickly the year has flown by. It seems like yesterday I was dropping her off for her first day, and me crying like a baby as I drove away. Knowing that I set her out into this great big world alone (well away from me for 7 hrs a day), and rely solely on God to protect her. Thankfully He has.
I also have been thinking alot about Maria Sue Chapman, Christian singer/songwriter Steven Curtis Chapman's 5 year old daughter who was adopted from China, passed away in a terrible accident, you can read about it here

Her brother was backing down their driveway and ran her over. My heart just breaks for their family and has since I heard of this terrible accident. Their testimony/story back in November of 2006 is what sprouted the seed that had been planted in my heart about adoption.
We take so much for granted and you really never know from one moment til the next what our life has in store. We need to hug our children today, and be thankful that we are blessed to have every single minute we have with them. That tragedy makes me realize every moment is important.
