I have not updated the blog at all – I do plan on it. I did want to share some news that I won’t post elsewhere for now, but wanted to share with the friends and family that are subscribed and have been following our journey.
We recently picked up the final adoption papers for AJ & she is now legally our daughter 🙌🏽😭 This has been a long season, filled with various challenges and I’ve learned over the years as an adoptive parent that my girls’ story is theirs and theirs alone to tell 🙏🏽 We are grateful for all the love and support we have received over the last 4.5yrs.
Now that everything is final, there’s still steps on the USA side of things, we trust that all will be accomplished in God’s timing and we continue to follow Him & rest in His plan.
Today we celebrate our 12yr wedding anniversary! I feel like we’ve lived a few lifetimes since we got married 🤣 With so many moves, states, countries, jobs, kids, death, churches, ministry positions, healing, therapy, dark dark times, the highest of high mountain tops – we really have been through a lot in the last 12 years married, 15 years together 💖 God is faithful and He remains the center of our lives, our relationship & family. Grateful for His grace that continues to keep us daily. 12 years down and a lifetime to go ♾️
