So a little insight about the author of these entries, he has never been a big holiday guy. Don't get me wrong I enjoy celebrating as much as the next guy, I just never really got swept up in the whole, today is special because a group of people a long time ago and so now the rest of us are stuck celebrating whatever occasion we are celebrating forever and shame on whoever doesn't celebrate whatever we are supposed to be celebrating. Well in my young, less mature days, I would absolutely stand by that opinion, however over that last several years, I am beginning to understand the thinking behind why we commemorate certain things on specific days each year.

Life can get crazy for all us, especially for those of us that have children, and if any of those children happen to require special or additional attention, you can say good bye to having any free time. It can become very easy to get caught in all the different things that make life crazy, it’s easy to forget the importance of taking the time out to celebrate the important people in your life and remember certain events that have shaped the course of history and our present reality. In fact because of how crazy life can get for us if there weren't certain annually scheduled events we might go years without celebrating the important people and events in our lives. From holy days that were instituted by God in the Old Testament to our modern holidays certain people and events need to honored and celebrated. Chief among individuals worthy of celebration, mothers.
It is impossible to overstate the value of mothers in our society and more specifically the value of this family's mother. Three years ago Rachel married her husband and overnight became the mother of a 7 year old boy. Rachel embraced Charles as if he were her own and through him the Lord began to further prepare her heart to be a mother full time. As a result, Rachel Botts is the epitome of mother. She embodies everything God wanted from the representative of the species chosen to carry and give birth to humanity's babies. Rachel is a mother through and through. It is in her bones, it is her calling, it’s what she was created to do. Rachel has spent most of her life mothering other people’s kids, my son included. And while we had no idea what was coming for us, the night Rachel told me she was going to be a biological mommy I knew it was going to be epic.
In November of 2012 we started down a path that would bring Rachel to a place where she would start to fulfill her destiny and become the mommy God purposed her to be from birth.
