What a year! Miracle after miracle occurred in our family. The Bible verse to define the year for us:
Romans 8:28 “all things work together for good to those who love God…”
JANUARY
- 12-year-old foster girl joins our family late one night just 1 month from being adopted
- 2 of my dear friends lost family members
- I bought my fancy-smancy camera and was asked THIS QUESTION
- After receiving a beautiful 4-month-old baby boy 10 days before Christmas that would be available for adoption (we had even picked a name); we were notified that he would be leaving us.
FEBRUARY
- Our 5-month-old, Lil Bit, was hospitalized for RSV as we received details on his upcoming removal
- Then we made this HUGE DECISION
- Then THIS MIRACLE happened in court
- Then ANOTHER MIRACLE – AN ACT OF GOD! (Snow in Texas!!!)
MARCH
- Wow! Finally OUR MIRACULOUS DAY IN COURT
- Our 2-year-old, Stinkpot, was brought to us 2 years before as a baby for FOSTER CARE ONLY
APRIL
- The first of our EASTER TRADITIONS celebrating His resurrection
MAY
- Another trip to the hospital for Lil Bit (includes this fiasco!)
- My incredible first Mother’s Day (spent at Chuck E. Cheese)
- Lil Bit is HOSPITALIZED AGAIN
- CONS TAKE US TO COURT
- Against CASA and CPS wishes – our prayer warriors (YOU!) facilitate ANOTHER MIRACLE
JUNE
- My list of DOCTOR VISITS since having kids
- My stepson, Bubba, GRADUATES (by the skin of his teeth) and MOVES OUT
- Our FOSTER GIRL MOVES ON
- Notice of permanency meeting on Lil Bit (the CAST OF CHARACTERS)
I’ll be back later for the “rest of the story”…
