I'd Choose My Life Again

I'd choose you again. That is the song by the Forester Sisters that I used to sing to my kiddos when they were little. I still believe that with all my heart today. If I had a crystal ball and could have seen ahead to our life with all the speed bumps and tears, I would do it all again. The incredible moments my family has created together makes all the heartbreaks worth it 10 fold.

I asked Cam a few days ago to read the blog I wrote on his birthday about him being chosen through love. He responded that 'I'd choose you again.' I knew, he knew, it meant everything to me. This most perfect song was also the song I danced with Ryan and Cam at their weddings. It is always touching when our kids get what we felt passionately about as they grew up. This song said it all for me. Ron and I went through so much in choosing this family through adoption. Infertility, 2 adoptions that ended with us placing our children back in their birthmothers arms, and ultimately God bringing the 4 amazing kids that were meant to be ours.

Looking in my life
thru the eyes of a young girl,
Growing older all the time,
maybe just a little wiser
I can clearly see
all my mistakes keep coming back to visit me.
Pointing out the roads not taken
So much I'd like to change,
but one thing I'd do the same

CHORUS
I'd choose you again
I'd choose you again
If God gave me the chance to do it all again
I'd carefully consider every choice and then
I'd choose you again.


Of all the boys in the world,
I'd choose you again
I'd choose you again
If God gave me the chance to do it all again
I'd carefully consider every choice and then
I'd choose you again.


Times weren't always good,
seems like the Lord Gave all the easy parts away
But every time the road got rocky,
you'd look at Me and say,
I'd choose you again.
Had all you needed
long as I Was there with you,
You're the reason I kept going
If I could start my life anew
The first thing that I would do
I'd choose you again
I'd choose you again
If God gave me the chance to do it all again
I'd carefully consider every choice and then
I'd choose you again.
I thank God he brought Ron and I together and that He knew just what kids would make our
lives complete. I'd choose my life again.

In Him,
Joyful
