Читать книгу Refuel Your Wait - Laci Richter - Страница 6

To my daughters’ birth parents. Our wait was nothing compared to the decisions you chose to make in what was most likely the toughest season of your lives. To put your child’s future and well-being above your own by placing them for adoption was painful and courageous. I am reminded of your grief and your pride running through my home on a daily basis.

To my daughters, even though I have to remind you every morning that you are not allowed in my writing office, I love hearing your little feet come down the stairs and head directly toward me. I pray you have memories of morning snuggles in front of my computer and know that I was working on sharing the story of how you joined our family.

To my husband, Robbie, thank you for being the leader of “Team Richter.” I appreciate your technical support but more importantly your family support. You are the smartest, funniest, most composed person I know. Just having you in the room with me brings me peace and creativity.

To my fellow author, mentor, editor and friend, Damaris, without your experience and words of encouragement this book may have sat on my computer for another three years. Thank you for reviewing my words so that I could experience a preview of how my readers would receive them.

To my friends, Tammie and Brad, without your demands for a book after every word I posted online, this book may have sat in my head or in my notebook forever.

To my Alabama Bible study group, without your lessons about the Holy Spirit’s role in my life I may have ignored the nudge to journal the process.
