A new year often and perhaps should brings new changes!!
One of these changes that has been on my heart is to make the blog private!! This is not because I feel like I need to know everyone personally who reads the blog!! It has more to do with the way that my own heart is wired ... I know my friends will know what I mean without me having to explain!
2008 brought soooooooooo many faith journeys for our family ... WOW ... and WOW to God's faithfulness and provision in 2008! I would have to say that it might have been one of my BIGGEST faith growing years ... at least in many years ...
We do not anticipate 2009 to be as eventful (Lord willing) as we are "almost" done the paperchase for our sweet waiting Ella ... we are anticipating 2009 to be a year of TRANSITION, ADJUSTMENT, and ATTACHMENT ...
Soooooo if you read this blog (and I might not know you do) and you want to continue ... it is time to come out of the woods :) Within the next couple of days it will go private and I will "TRY" to send an invite to EVERYONE who I know reads the blog :) If I don't send you an e-mail please don't think it is because I don't want you to read the blog ... it is either because I don't have your e-mail or because I think you don't read the blog :)
My heart is still to HUMBLY share my heart as God leads and works in my life and that of my family ... with family, friends, friends of friends, and friends through the adoption on-line community ... giving all GLORY to my Creator, Father, Savior, God, and King!!
Sorry for the inconvenience of having to sign in for all you non-bloggers out there ...
Tremble before Him, all the earth! The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved. Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let them say among the nations, "The LORD reigns!" Let the sea resound, and all that is in it; let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them! Then the trees of the forest will sing, they will sing for joy before the LORD, for He comes to judge the earth. Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; his love endures forever. Cry out, "Save us, O God our Savior; gather us and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your Holy name, that we may glory in your praise." Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. 1 Chronicles 16

I most definitely want to follow your journey. We are in the same place with 2009 being a year of transition and attachment.
Much Love to your family.
