In our arms for 6 months today!

November 7th we arrived after an exhausting flight 1/2 way around the world with one very scared little girl. In this short time she has blossomed in so many ways. What a blessing she is to our lives.

'For I know the plans that I have for you' declares the Lord

How could one ever imagine that 2 orphaned children born more than 1 year apart in different areas of India would end up here together? And with me as their mother of all people!! They are very rarely separated from each other. They LOVE each other. Jonathan is learning determination and compassion from her and she is learning to be loud and that it sometimes takes force to get what you want. (Ha Ha) As I ride in the car and look back in my mirror and these two I just have to chuckle. Over 15 years ago I had a 3 and 4 year old. I wiped noses, put on band aids, woke up during the night and here I am again doing all these things over again. I let them both have a huge bottle of Gatorade (blue & red) in the car and they both were thrilled. Would I have done it 10 years ago? No way. It's fun to do it all over again. Jonathan will sometimes sing that "he was born to be wild" as I drive. Is it my driving or his personality? I hope the latter, but have to consider how God changes you through the years. So, as you are reflecting on your life or thinking about your future remember that.... Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. James 4:14a
