Speechless

God has left us utterly speechless. There are no great theological explanations we could tell you, even though many opinions have been shared.  Complaining and questioning God needed repenting of. We are truly humbled by God's random selection to bring our girls home.   Bottom line, we know that refining is necessary, and we'll leave the rest to His infinite wisdom and not try to explain something so deep with our puny mind.

...So that He gets the glory...

We finally got MSP #'s for the girls so today we went for blood tests and chest xray. Lots of poking around to find the vein, so tough to see them cry so hard because they rarely cry. They were so brave through it all and yummy fruit snacks put a smile back on their sweet faces.

Kenzie- adventurous and eager

Katie - needed mommy to stay

We're so grateful for each of you who have prayed so faithfully over the years and for sharing this journey with us!  It takes a village to bring a child home.  Thank you for your beautiful gifts of love to our family in many different forms!!  

Lots of joy and laughter in the home.  We are extremely glad this part of our journey has come to an end and healing can begin; struggles in the youngest child position, bonding as a family, stress fatigue, and everything in between. Life is a journey, not a "live happily ever after" fairy tale. Many have walked through much much deeper waters, and we wouldn't trade this trial for anyone else's.  God knows what He's doing and nothing takes Him by surprise.
Love to you all.
