Getting healthy

We are currently in the States getting "healthy". It was completely unexpected and not exactly in our plans for this summer. As we all know His ways are different than ours and even though we did not foresee this detour He is using all things for His purposes. Of this we are certain.

 Anyone who has walked the road of adoption knows that there will be days of great pain and loss mixed with many days of great joy and healing. Adoption is needed because there are orphans. It seems like such an obvious thought, but to grasp the depth in which a child has had to suffer is seen on a daily basis only by the family who welcomes them into their home. It takes time to take away one's own personal status of fear and abandonment. They are no longer on their own but those chains take time and love to willingly be released. Adoption is beautiful but at times its just ugly. Jesus has redeemed each of them and even though we must walk this difficult journey...He is the reason why these precious boys are in our life. It is Christ who sets the lonely in families and it is He who will restore each of their hearts. Refinement for hubs and myself seems pretty high up on the agenda as well during this season of healing.

Our family is hopeful that we will return to EA with walls  rebuilt and hearts set securely on the Lord. This detour has been trying at times yet as a family we are aiming to laugh a lot and enjoy being in Creation as much as possible. Notice the green in every picture.
