SOOO much to catch up on!

Hey!

I have SO much to catch up on. Summer is going great, but very busy.

We have celebrated Logan's one year anniversary home, his 6th birthday and are about to celebrate Michael's 16th!

We are knee deep in post placement and dossier paper work. So amazing to believe that we have been given the blessing of another daughter. As soon as I can, I will post pictures and some details about our newest. But I can tell you that she is just to die for.

She looks so sweet and a little sad in her pictures. Life has not treated her as the priceless child she is. I am not going to go into much detail of her history, because it isn't mine to share. But I can say that hopefully soon she will come to know and accept our love for her. And that she will come to know and accept the love God has for her.

To believe that she is SOOOOOOOOOOO love and wanted, to be able to grow in that love and become all that God has intended her to be.

My head is swimming with things I need to do, things I want to do, and things I am being convicted of...and pretending I don't have to do.

This year has been a really amazing year for me. I have been challenged in ways I never imagined. I would love to say that I rose to each challenge, and handled them with ease..but that would be such a lie.

I don't think there there has been more then a stretch of a few weeks at a time where I have not had to ask God to let me see others as He does. Where relying on my own abilities failed.

I can look back and see that things have only turned out as awesome as they have because God was in them.

I honestly do not know how anyone can make it through this life without Him. Without His love, His guidance, grace, and unending patience.

Or the ever so needed, but done in love, kick in the rear.

Hope all is well, we are doing great. Better then we deserve.
