When all is signed and done...

Nou te fini! We finished! Tickets are purchased and we will be stateside bound on March 18! We are all super excited! Yet when all is signed and done we are emotionally in a place where we definitely feel that all is not said and done. There is so much that could (and maybe or maybe should not) be said about what has transpired throughout our 4 year adoption process. There is so much that is still to be done as the ending of one process begins another. A giant work is finished but we are always a work in progress. When all is signed and done we find ourselves still processing. Perhaps we have just now allowed ourselves to breathe and begin to truly process all that has happened and how our family has grown. One day I hope I will be able to put everything into words in a beautiful way to express our deepest thanks for what God has done for us, in us, and through us during this process. When all is signed and done I imagined I would be able to share so much. But there is so much we cannot fathom and can only say THANK YOU. I am overwhelmed with thankfulness for those who helped bear our burdens, who prayed with us and for us, who visited us in Haiti and/or sent special supplies our way, who showed up to our fundraisers, who settled me down, who got riled up with me, who listened, who cried, who truly cared, who sent us Scriptures, who held our hands, who held our daughters, who brought them care packages, who visited orphans, who believed us, who supported us through the best of times and worst of times, who gave us the benefit of the doubt, who asked before making assumptions, who fought with us, who stayed our friends even when we were many miles away, who chose to reconnect, who mourned with us and rejoiced with us...who rejoice with us now!

"He has made everything beautiful in its time.
He has also set eternity in the human heart;
yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end."
