When I was 23, I was confirmed in the Catholic Church. I am a cradle Catholic, but growing up, we were more of the Christmas and Easter folks than regular attenders. Thus, I didn't get confirmed until after college when I really felt like I was ready to become an adult member of my faith.
At that Mass, one of the songs was "Here I am, Lord." It is one of my favorite hymns even now, but that night, it took on a brand new meaning. Listening that night, I knew, for sure, that we would add to our family through adoption. I somehow knew that I was being called to be a mom. I can't do a lot of things. I am not a doctor or a nurse, but I am a mom. At the time, I had one child, but I knew that I was ready, willing, and able to care for more children. I knew that I was ready to welcome more children into my life. So that's where the title comes from. Imagine this song with less instrumentals and more choir.
