The Face of Christ
... See you had no choice which day you would be born
Or the color of your skin, or what planet you'd be on
Would your mind be strong, would your eyes be blue or brown
Whether daddy would be rich, or if momma stuck around at all
So if you find yourself in a better place
You can't look down on the frown on the other guy's face
You gotta stoop down low, look him square in the eye
And get a funny feeling, 'cause you might be dealing...
With the face of Christ...

Glad to see you posting again! I've missed your updates. Your story has been a blessing to me.

Thanks for updating, there are other people out there who care about your little family. Adoption is hard work, 4 must be amazingly hard, I am glad you are getting through the hard parts, hopefully the rest will be easier.
You have such a beautiful family! I pray God will encourage you and give you strength and bind you all up in His love. I can't imagine how hard this is, put I hope you are all blessed more than you can ask or imagine for it as well.
So happy to see your beautiful kids and to see that you and your family are walking close to God through this journey!
Karen Williamson told me about you all, as my husband and I are just beginning the process to adopt siblings from Ethiopia. By chance, could we connect sometime? We live in Monument. Thanks

Beautiful, beautiful family!
So wonderful to see how far they've come, how much they've grown, how happy they are, and how sane you still look! God is SOOOOO good!! What a blessing to see what He has done through you!
Abundant blessings on all of you as you celebrate your first Christmas together.
I have followed your blog since the beginning. The differences in these kids (from photos alone) is unbelievable. I know you probably can't see the differences on a day to day basis, but I just looked at the pic of the kids in ethiopia - the twins were newborns and the older children's eyes were so sad. They were malnourished. Quite a difference from the happy, healthy children in the pictures you posted from the summer. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR CHANGING THE LIVES OF THESE CHILDREN. Never ever underestimate what you have done!!
