2011 Christmas Letter

Merry Christmas from our family to yours…

It’s been a good year. God is so good, all the time. We are blessed. So Blessed.

As I sit down to write, it’s hard to see the past year in any way besides blessed. I know it’s been a hard year…. but it’s been such a blessing in the hard times & the good times… it’s hard, as I sit in my quiet house, with 2 kids asleep in front of our beautiful Christmas tree, sipping some tea, listening to some quiet Christmas music… how can I think about anything but how abundantly blessed we are…

So, I guess that’s where I will leave it… I could go into detail about the trials, explain the accomplishments & the defeats, the long & short of it is that we are celebrating Christmas as a family that has been given “exceeding abundantly more than we could ask or imagine”

Carol said...: I love that you have decided to just sum your year up as a blessed year. We should all do that because we have been given so much more than we deserve.

Thanks for sending the Christmas card. It's beautiful and we loved receiving it.; December 27, 2011 at 10:07 PM

Zach is 17. He is a junior in high school. Playing football, basketball, & running track. He is a hurting kid with a chip on his shoulder & an attitude to keep people at bay. He has a great heart under all the pain, I hurt so bad for him & desire to see God bring healing into Zach's life. I believe that God will do that, I just fear the chapters that it will take to get to that point. I told him recently he has so much talent, brains & charisma... and satan is stealing it away. Lots of prayer time going into this one... I turn to worry way too easily.

Kiahna Grace is my baby. She is 6 years old & is in first grade. Kiahna loves to help mommy, cheerleading, her dogs & cats, & riding her bike. We adopted her through private adoption at birth, also. We recently recieved a FAES diagnosis for Kiahna, which means she was exposed to drugs or alcohol while she was in the womb, causing some degree of brain damage. As we learn more about this disability life is a little uncertian once again. We are searching and praying for miracles and answers in Kiahna's life. Praising God for the ones we've seen & the ones still to come!
