Thankful List for August 2015

Thankful List for August:
-adoption paperwork trail caught up on for now
-three years ago today we shared this news with you... here.  I've been thinking about it so much the past few weeks.  Some days, I still can't believe we never got to bring her home.  But even though I can't understand the why or how, I know that God is still faithful to us and to her.  And I'm thankful for the three years that we've had to pray for her and the lifetime we have to continue to pray for her.
-"Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge." Psalm 62:8
