Where to start?

A lot has been going on around here! To begin with, 4 kids just keeps a person very busy!! Our kids are not even in a ton of activities and I am still amazed at how busy it always seems around here.

Secondly, the transition with Lauran has definitely taken some time! There has been a lot to figure out and learn, not just about her disorder but also about her. The conclusion I have made so far is this: the more I have gotten to know about Thalassemia the more I thank God He has found her a family! And the more I have gotten to know Lauran the more I thank God He chose us to be that family. That’s not to say it has all been fun and easy. The process really has been so much harder than I could have imagined,so many twists and turns I never knew were coming.

Along the way though, I have witnessed once again the miracle of adoption, this time on an even deeper level. Sometimes (I am learning), some of the most rewarding things in life are the hardest. I would not trade this past year for anything.  As I think of where Lauran was at when we first adopted her and how far she has come I think of this verse.....

Ephesians 3:20

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us

As I dive back into the blogging, I am hoping to share more about all that God has been and continues to to do and teach me through this journey so make sure to stop back. God never stops amazing me!
