You- through your writing-encourage me to push forward in the desires of my heart that I feel God is spurring me on to. I think that your family is amazing in their love for each other. And I think that your committment to adoption is amazing and that God has developed such an incredible heart in you. <br />With the different kiddos in and out of my home over the past 2 years it I have seen those looks, been asked so many questions... and you know what... I am so happy that it has become my "normal"... that my definition of a "normal" family has completely changed and that the box I had put myself in (that "normal" box I had in my mind) has been blown completely wide open by God's perfect plan. <br />THANK YOU... I love your blog, your reminders of who we are in God and what we as believers have been called to.Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463972684857892138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317477880142153579.post-77253198970322613612009-08-03T20:20:03.075-07:002009-08-03T20:20:03.075-07:00The pictures are Beautiful, Amy.
