Life is good!

The past month and a half has been full of many blessings. I think that the biggest thing that I noticed, upon my return from Ethiopia, is that Sihin's transition into our family was seamless. It literally felt like she had always been there. There was no culture shock, no overwhelming grief, no uncomfortableness...she melded into our already blended family in a way that only God could orchestrate.

Sihin is an absolute treasure and she is a blessing to the many people who have had the privilege of meeting her. She's smart, beautiful, kind, helpful, insightful, God-honoring, funny, hard-working, and brave. I thought this adoption was supposed to be about helping an orphan, but only God would know that it was just as much designed to help me. I am closer now to my Father because of this girl and because of this experience.
