That first step of obedience can be such a scary one. Praise God that you took that leap of faith and never looked back. Every time I see Nadia's precious smile, I just want to caption the photo "God is good."<br /><br />I hope you and your sweet family are finally feeling better. We've been sick, too, and I know how hard it can be to recover and catch up.<br /><br />Praising God for His peace through life's toughest journeys and rejoicing that the parting of the sea cleared the path that brought Nadia home!<br /><br />Much Love,<br />KathieGoodness and Mercy Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00347652142463308256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7609700090140862777.post-68985671377827812182011-01-12T08:11:52.136-08:002011-01-12T08:11:52.136-08:00Even when your thinking about that limb, it's ...Even when your thinking about that limb, it's such an encouragement to look around and see others who are climbing limbs and taking leaps of faith. <br /><br />That picture, and all of the wonderful other ones on your Blog, are a testimony to the blessing and joy found in trusting God through the unknown!!Meg Dreifusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10904519852632787114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7609700090140862777.post-3684518277845579502011-01-11T20:29:03.267-08:002011-01-11T20:29:03.267-08:00I just love her!

We know that Nadia was chosen for you on the day she was born and that God had a plan for her and your family. It makes my day when I get a hug from your angel. She has been a blessing to not only your family but to our small group family as well.

It also brought us together as we never would have met (even though we live so close to one another) if we had not climbed out on that branch and decided to adopt!<br />A year ago today I still didn't even know what Reece's Rainbow was!

Even with life swirling around and around right now, God periodically reminds my soul that not only did He allow our family to taste and see His goodness through adoption, but He allowed those closest to us to journey out on that same limb! And it held us all! Not only does it fully support us, but that limb is able to catapult us to the top of the tree and give us such an amazing,heavenly view.trustandobeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00882983227018954307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7609700090140862777.post-82697774783097650352011-01-10T21:10:06.514-08:002011-01-10T21:10:06.514-08:00Great post Kristin!
