Today We Celebrate!!!

A year ago today, Mary Kenzie was placed in our arms and became a member of our family for forever! What an amazing day that was...I can still remember the way she smelled as her foster mother placed her in my arms and we drove away from Seoul to catch our plane back home.




I remember the look of love on her foster mother's face as she shed bittersweet tears...happy tears that her sweet girl would have a forever family and sad tears as she had to say goodbye to the angel baby she had taken care of as her own for 8 months. She loved Mary Kenzie so much...she said that normally after one of her babies leaves she takes a month off to recover but that she couldn't bear to go home without MK so she was going upstairs to get a new baby to bring home that very afternoon.



Two adoptions and three and a half years after becoming a mom, I am still in AWE at what the Lord has done for me. Being a mom is miraculous to me. This year I have been studying Isaiah and so many of the passages have spoken to me and really met me where I am.

Isaiah 63:7 "I will tell of the kindnesses of the LORD,
the deeds for which he is to be praised,
according to all the LORD has done for us—
yes, the many good things he has done
for the house of Israel,
according to his compassion and many kindnesses."

Happy 1st Gotcha Day, Mary Kenzie!!!
