The First Time we met and our first family photo!
The beginning!
Today marks a very special day for us. One year ago we arrived on U.S. soil with our precious Josie Luz Elena. I cannot believe it has already been a year but it also makes me think of my dear friend Kathy whom we met during our time fostering Josie. She arrived there before we did and has just now came home. So we praise the Lord for his provision on us as a family as we served our time in Guatemala and most of all praise him that he always finishes what he starts and home April 3,2008 Josie joined our family here at home forever.
Today Carrol was asked if we really started our adoption thinking that Josie would have some severe disabilities and if it was true of what a healthy girl she is today. The answer is YES praise the Lord YES! Do I believe she never really had special needs NO! I know it was one of GOD'S miracles and will always know that in my heart to be true, but you see it wouldn't matter what her special needs are I would do anything in this world to take care of and protect that little girl! That is what we do for our kids, so if there is someone considering adopting a child of special needs let me tell you if it is a child the Lord has ordained to be part of your family you will be perfectly eqipped for that child and will do it what ever it takes with a grateful heart.
This last year has been one of the best years in my life! The best year in my relationship with the Lord, with my marriage, with having the priveldge for the first time to be a stay at home mom, and the best year for watching my children grow into such awesome little people that also love the Lord and their family.
God has truely rewarded us and for that we are so THankful!!!!!!!!!!!
