Watercolor print of the Gilbert Temple and Being Sealed after Adoption

I just got this Watercolor print of the Gilbert Temple from Alycia Pace. Her shop name is PacePaintings on Etsy. Since we just got sealed to our new baby boy I wanted a unique Temple picture to display in our home to remind me of this wonderful day. When I saw her prints I fell in love. They are all so pretty, very unique and I loved her prices!!!

She has many other temples. Seriously the best gifts for weddings, Temple Sealings, Christmas, birthdays...anything! Or get one for yourself like I did! :)

A little about our newest adoption:
2 years ago we decided let's adopt again. With our oldest three children we were matched fairly fast. This last adoption we waited 2 years, we had 3 failed adoptions and one we lost a lot of money on. I was praying to Heavenly Father if we were really meant to adopt again. Was this a sign to give up? I had this empty hole in my heart telling me there is another child out there but it wasn't easy getting this baby. So after a few years of some ups and mostly downs in the adoption area we adopted a baby boy. Once we chose our lawyer we were matched right away and he was born a few months later.
What a great experience to be there for his birth, stay in the hospital with him and see God blessing our family after all we have been through. I was instantly in love. I just stare at our baby boy Madden and think I am so glad he came to our family and that it all worked out the way it did. My heart feels whole and I don't feel emptiness any more.

Now I tell everyone adoption is beautiful and amazing. But it is an emotional roller coaster for both parties. But it is so worth it. God has his hand in the adoption process for sure. So many things have to fall perfectly into place and you see miracles constantly with adoption. Each one of my kids have their own special story how they came to us and I cherish that so much. When I think how they came to our family it just builds my testimony so much because I know Heavenly Father had a huge part of it.

With adoption you have many wonderful experience but my favorite is going into the temple as a family and being sealed. We had a wonderful experience in the temple and I am so glad we could all go in as a family and my kids could experience this. We have gone 4 times to be sealed with each kid but this time felt even more special. I think it was because my 3 older kids were older now (not toddlers and babies) and I knew they would remember this moment the rest of their lives. Madden was such a good baby too and seriously smiled and laughed almost the whole time in the temple. It was a day I will never forget!

People who came to the sealing minus people in our ward. They left and missed the pictures outside.

Arms now empty will be filled, and hearts now hurting from broken dreams and yearning will be healed.

Due to a recent failed adoption our hearts have been hurt and our spirits have been down. We didn't see this coming and that is what made it all the worse. We thought we were adopting this baby girl, we talked about her daily, we were getting ready for her and in one phone call, days before we were suppose to have a new baby girl, it was all over. I hurt, my husband hurts and worse of all it hurt my children. You start to question why and how this could happen to us. Due to this failed adoption it has also set us back even further from adopting again anytime soon. We lost a lot of money we will never see again. And adoptions cost a lot of money.

Each day is a struggle for me to stay positive and have Faith. I accidentally found this talk by President Boyd K. Packer and it was just what I needed to read. I am sure it was meant for me to find. I also made this print to look at and help me stay strong and hopeful at this time.
