I would have never imagined what I experience on a daily basis now: toys scattered throughout the living room, a baby swing beside the Christmas tree, plastic dishes all over the kitchen floor, cardboard box houses taking up a portion of the piano studio, never-ending loads of laundry, bath time toys beside the tub, endless bottles to be washing, a tiny toothbrush that sits near mine. If I’m honest, some of these are often frustrations, but ALL of them are joys because they are daily, hourly reminders that God answers prayer.
Our family and hearts have grown so much in just over one year’s time, welcoming a 3-month old foster-to-adopt baby girl into our home last September and giving birth to twins this spring. FIVE stockings were hung up this year, and – though my family isn’t together under the same roof – I couldn’t be more grateful for the blessings He has given us. Thank You, Lord.
