i can't say thank you enough...

Over the last 3 years, I've been through many seasons...some good, some bad. I've been angry, happy, excited, sad, hurting, etc...but lately, I've been thankful. Kaz and I will never fully understand why we have been through some of the trials we have...and for a long time we wanted nothing more than to be out of them. We have been through seasons where we questioned everything...We've felt alone and supported at the same time. Throughout the whole time, our focus and desire has been to have a family. Through all of these seasons, the Lord has done amazing things in our life and I am truly thankful. Without going through what we have, we would never be where we are today. The Lord has opened so many doors for us...He has shown me a creative side that I never knew I had...He has blessed with photography and writing...He has made me a dreamer...He has worked so much in our marriage and brought us closer together...He has allowed us to go on some amazing trips...He has increased our faith and prayer life...He has shut some doors and given us some amazing new friends....He has satisfied our hearts with where we are....He has surrounded us with his love...

Our week in Colorado was amazing. Kaz and I honestly didn't talk about the adoption but maybe 1 time. While our desire to have a family has never left, the Lord has truly allowed us to find satisfaction in Him and each other. We have been content...I know the Lord is working in so many ways that I can't see right now...and I know that one day soon we will have a family...but today, I am content. I am blessed...and I honestly can't say thank you enough for all He has done and for all He HASN'T done...

Ephesians 5:20  always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of 
our Lord Jesus Christ.
