6.

6 months home with Jacob and Joey today.

Whew.

6.

I suppose I should have some eloquent words about how much they've grown
how happy they are
how settled and familiar they are to us now
but I ain't got nuthin.
Wait.....I heard today that an English teacher reads my blog now.....
ahem
let me re-phrase that
I don't seem to presently have any aforementioned thoughts on the above entitled issue.
Their.
I souned smartt now.

The one word I do have is this:
reflection. 
It's been ride my friends.
One crazy
amazing
incredible
ride.

If I have learned anything it tis this:
Families.make.a.difference.
HE makes a difference.

There is such restoration occuring around me every single day
there is now hope
there is now love
there is now peace and freedom and these two are soaking in every bit of it.

6 months ago you could see it.
The hollow eyes


the emptiness.
It was visible.
It was tangible.
It was where they were only
6
short
months
ago.

And as we prepare to begin this journey all over again
we hold on to the hope that we know what is to come.
Praise.
HIM.



I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten. Joel 2:25
