I have ABSOLUTE faith in divine providence. I know that my life is guided and I see miracles so often that I can't deny the fact that the Lord is over all. So the past 5 months are another confirmation of my faith. I can't write all that has transpired but I will note one small thing that is amazing to me.
When you adopt from China there is no process of choice. You apply and then they send you a picture of your daughter. They choose and you don't have any idea who she is until 2 or 3 weeks before you travel. I knew she could be anyone, she would have her own temperment, her own likes and dislikes, her individual talents and abilities and I was ready for anything. I knew that the Lord would send us the right girl for our family. We joked about her coming to a family that loves music so much and how she may love math and computers ha ha!
Well the night she arrived my girls had written songs for her that they played for her and since that day she has often sat at their feet and listened to the girls sing the songs they have written. The first week she was sitting on my lap and the girls were singing and she started singing with them and matched their notes perfectly. We were all screaming and laughing but were sure that it was an absolute coincidence. Well, it happened a few more times, then many more times and we are all shocked that there could be a possibility that she is musical. She is never off tune. My girls also dance and do constant dance routines and now in the past month she has now begun dancing in a way that I have never seen a baby dance. It is like she is doing a contemporary rendition off of "So You Think You Can Dance". We keep being so surprised at her love of music and the arts.
From the moment Eve was in my arms I knew that even though she had a different biological Mother and Father, her spirit was always mine. I know it. I have no idea if these little musical nuances that we are seeing will translate to talent as she grows older but wouldn't it be amazing!!
Here is the latest song that my 13 yr old daughter has written
Lyrics (c)
Welcome everyone please take your place
In this world, every type, every race
We cry, we pray, we laugh, we dance we sing
I'm gonna be myself, it makes me unique
Chorus:
Every night
I pray that the world will unite
And in-spite
of all our differences we'll make things right
The clouds, they laugh at me
Cause they have the power to hide the sun behind their wings
The rain falls on my face
I'll do what I can to make this world a better place
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Hold your hands up high
It's up to us we have to try
We only have one chance at this life
So you and I will take the time
Repeat Chorus
