providence

it is official - we are not getting Apollo until January.

after a GREAT talk with Carrie (BH coordinator)

and after a good cry

and after a sweet hug and prayer from micah

i am seeing God's providence in all of this.

 bringing him home in the midst 

of all our december craziness, would not be ideal for him.

commitments almost every night, 

people in and out of our home,

5 christmas eve services...

totally insane schedule.

when he was told that he would spend

one more christmas at BH,

he was actually happy.

while this will be apollo's 3rd christmas there,

the new kids at bh have never had a christmas.

apollo wants to share that experience with them.

it is a fun day there~

sack races, pinata, water games

singing, dancing and lots of food.

knowing that he is ok

makes me ok.

knowing that God knows best,

gives me abundant peace

PROVIDENCE

websters dictionary defines it as:

"the protective care of God"

i define it as:

"you hem me in - behind and before

you have laid your hand upon me...

for you created my inmost being,

you knit me together in my mother's womb...

when i was woven together in the depths of the earth,

your eyes saw my unformed body.

all the days ordained for me 

were written in your book

before one of them came to be."
