Next Weekend!

Over Labor Day weekend, we get to visit with families from all over the US that have adopted from Ethiopia through our organization. I am so excited to meet some of the families that have inspired us throughout our journey. The boys get to meet up with several of their friends from the Transition Home! They can hardly wait!! They especially can't wait to see their friend Besufakad (Mamush...now Levi) Redding. We are excited to meet them too!

Things here have been good. Each day is new and I am really ready for some more English conversation from the boys, but I know it will come in time. I just look around a lot and realize how incredibly blessed we are...6 beautiful children, a home, jobs, a great church, each other, and great friends....all this brought together by relationship with Jesus Christ!! I don't see how people face life without that peace that He brings. It's real. He's powerful. Somehow...people would rather depend on themselves (including me sometimes). Quoting from a popular song right now, "There's no such thing as perfect people. There's no such thing as a perfect life...." but there is rest in our perfect GOD!
