They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest." Praying for strength through the planting and a wonderful celebration of harvest to come soon.Jeniverenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9063440372662851918.post-56775935917165188112012-04-17T12:56:20.632-06:002012-04-17T12:56:20.632-06:00Thanks for the update!

I remember hard times of grief for our son when we brought him home, wondering where he was, who we all were, why he couldn't understand or be understood. The lack of sleep. There are large periods of time I simply don't remember because it was so hard. But God is good. I can look back and see that God was knitting us together, not in spite of the pain and hardship, but because of it. He uses this process to make us a family. You are all becoming new people. Joya is becoming your daughter/sister and you are becoming her parents/brothers. He uses adoption to refine us in a way that nothing else can. I'm praying for your family as you walk through the fire and begin to see the glittering gold in each other.Pam Krosleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01731484029654998055noreply@blogger.com
