One year later

This blog has been silent for more than six months. I have wanted to write on many occasions but have struggled to find words to my thoughts. The past few months have kept me busy, and we have been processing all that has happened and what the Lord has done.

One year ago today, we saw these precious feet for the first time.

I dont know that I can articulate everything that I am feeling today, but I know this---I never imagined that Josiah would not be home a year later. Today the tears flow freely, tears for a little boy that I may never see again, tears for a little boy who may not even realize what he is missing.

I hope to share some of what we have learned over the past year in the next few weeks, and Olivia's story will be shared as soon as we are able.

I am amazed at the sovereignty of the Lord's plan. Six months ago yesterday, a tiny little girl was born. One year ago today, we received a referral for our Josiah Levi. Six months ago tomorrow, we brought our Olivia Ruth home. This year has been filled with pain, heartbreak, and sleepless nights as well as joy, laughter, and sleepless nights for an entirely different reason.

I do not understand all that has happened, but I know that the Lord has carried us this year. He has sustained us. Held us. And somehow shown us a way through. God is still sovereign, still faithful, and still good.

He is always sovereign, always faithful, and always good.
