Enjoyed a crazy moment today with us girls jumping on the trampoline in the rain! So fun! Got soaking wet (followed by a hot shower where i got soaked by the girls again! ) but laughed hysterically and was so good in repairing the frustration and hurt from yesterday. Been thinking about r immediate gratification culture and how adoption IS NOT! Its constant patience, waiting for yr efforts to reveal anything at all, or two steps back (or 3). A dear friend reminds me constantly that it's not a sprint but a marathon. Also learning so much about Jesus loving us first WHILE WE WERE YET ENEMIES. Sometimes it seems we are enemies in our family but I can choose to enter into this new aspect of Him and continue to love. I don't always feel like it plays out in my actions but thoughts lead to actions, right?! ☺ trying to learn fast and practice hard! Pls continue to pray 4 jj- especially unity btwn him & other kids, wisdom in being a sibling and good phrases to use. Other quick news: jh got his stitches out! Woohoo! Pray quick healing and not to split it open again! (He's hit it several other times with his stitches in!)
