There have been times in our life together when I thought it could not get much worse. But each time we have gone through that and I have the emotional and physical energy to look back on those times I have realized that she was once again testing our love for her. I can usually find almost an exact moment when she will ask a question or make a statement (if I listen closely at the time) where her fears are once again laid to rest and she becomes my loving, funny little girl. I don't know if this is just a routine kid issue or if it is an "adoption thing", but it is so heart breaking to know those insecurities exist, yet so heartwarming to know that somewhere she is finding to tool she needs to make peace with them and grow. I wish you all the blessings in the world with your little one and your work ministry. I have an 8 year old from China that has been in our arms since she was 12 mo old.

Dealing with rages really makes it difficult to enjoy being a momma. But that whole "fake it til you make it" mantra? Sounds like y'all are starting to make it! I'm so happy for you.
