I'm embracing a story of insteads.
Instead of giving birth to a baby girl with my curls and an infant boy with his eyes, our babies were grown in other women's bodies, yet made perfectly for us.
Instead of knowing the brand of diapers they wore and the day they took their first steps, I know how to assure them of forever and overcome hard histories.
Instead of two children, we have four.
Instead of a perfect house, we have book stacks and flip flops and Lego creations around the edges.
Instead of accepting the placement in an architecture program, I became an educator.
Instead of believing writing is a pipe dream, I write books.
This story of insteads is a very good one. Instead of taking the easy road, the road filled with all of the things I want, I am living a story of making much of God.

This is a wonderful "list" of how you have embraced all that life has sent your way. I love the way you use "instead" to embrace the many opportunities God has laid in your path.
