What an amazing month of December we had! We tried to be intentional and SLOW down our busy pace of life...AND it worked!! We spent time with friends and family, going to the Muppets movie, splurging on frozen yogurt, rock climbing at the gym, crabbing at the coast, playing games, eating yummy food, celebrating Jesus birth and watching Christmas movies together! I would do it all over again...it was so worth it!
Now if we can only keep our everyday life like that:-)
Adoption update:
Some of our friends who are also adopting from Uganda with the same agency got their referral a few days before Christmas. What a glorious Christmas present! But...if I am truthful...which I aim to be in EVERYTHING...it caused my heart to race and I kinda freaked out a little. Just a little bit.
This whole adoption process became so real for me hearing their story and the precious little girl God has set aside for this awesome family. It hit me...we could be next! My faith is being stretched and I have told God how much I need him to strengthen my faith and help me to put all my trust in Him.
So we continue to pray for our little boy that God is moving in his life and preparing him to join our family and preparing our hearts for him too!!
