I love God's Word! It's amazing to me how this verse can mean so many different things to people who are having different experiences in their lives. I posted this picture (from St. John's Hospital) with this verse earlier, but at that point in my life it carried such a different meaning than it does now.
Older child, international adoption is a very difficult thing people. We are trying to help our new sons through some very tough things right now. Their life experiences and history have brought them to a very different place at 6 years old than Hunter is.
Adoption in itself is a messy thing, but I believe older child adoption is EVEN MESSIER than infant adoption. We are integrating these twin boys into a family that they are not used to being in. They have developed habits that they used for survival and do not work in a family setting. Thankfully, we know that God is on our side and He will see us through to victory in the end!
Having four children is exhausting, and I am in desperate need of refreshing every. single. night. Thank you Lord for providing that for me when I lay down my pride and ask!
ps - I was asked to "guest post" on Jessica's blog today! She's away at the beach soaking up the sun and enjoying time with her adorable little family! Hop over there and check it out!
