thankful

We're thankful for our kiddo across the world and can't wait for the ways he/she will fit into and shape our family. So thankful for their little personality that's being shaped and will forever change what our family is like. So, so thankful for the nuns who care for the children at Home of Hope. For their dedication, their sacrifices, their faith and love that draws them to live their lives with children who have been orphaned, so that they can better know they're loved.

Last week we passed the 2 months mark since our approval (which the Rwandan government said it would take to prepare our referral) so it should be coming any day, any moment. We're so thankful for that. We've been aching, hoping, praying, crying, and longing to see their face, know their name...and of course, especially, to be with them. We're so thankful for the Dorbands, Smiths, and Spores, families who are picking up their kids this weekend. Can you IMAGINE?!?!

We're so thankful for all of you who are journeying with us. Supporting us while we struggle. Supporting us while we rejoice. "If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it." 1 Corinthians 12: 26.
