one year

Sweet T is turning one today. On October 21 last year,
We didn't know he had been born.

We didn't know that just a few short weeks later, he would need a home.
We certainly didn't know the ups and downs of the Family Court and DHR systems.
We didn't know our hearts could love so much.
We didn't know if we'd have him a week or a month.
We didn't know what taking care of three kids would be like.
We didn't know how hard it would be.
We didn't know how easy it would be.
We didn't know that God would give us the strength we needed.

Well, today, Timothy James (aka Sweet T), turns one.

We don't know where this next year will take us.

We don't know why there are delays and challenges in the courts.

We don't know how our journey will end, but

We DO know the One that does.

We know that He has plans for a hope and a future.

We know that God is causing everything to work together for our good.

We know that we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength.

We know that we are the light of the world.

We know that no weapon formed against us shall prosper.

We know that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

We know that we have been adopted. We are children of God and joint-heirs with Christ!
