Life is sweet 6/22/2007
Tonight I was just feeling so happy and contented, and I figured I should share the joy. I keep marveling at how wonderful our life is right now. I feel such a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. I mean not all the time, of course, but enough of the time to be sure. Adelina has just blossomed into a lovely girl and I’ve seen myself mature and grow in so many ways in the last year and a half. Our marriage has also strengthened and deepened as well.
Oh and Happy Birthday to me! My birthday was on Monday, but Steve threw together a small gathering of church friends for a bit of a surprise fellowship and swim time tonight, and it was quite literally the icing on the cake. We ate, talked, swam, played, and had cake and ice cream. It was the perfect end to my week. Oh, and it started a week ago Saturday night with a sneak peek at Pixar’s new film Ratatouille, which was truly fabulous. I wanted to see it again immediately. But, alas, I will have to wait at least until next Friday when it is officially released. Steve wrote a great review of it at monkinetic. It also didn’t hurt that there are stirrings in the Russian adoption community that re-accreditation is soon to come through for several agencies. Ours does not appear to be one of them, but we can’t be too far behind. Hopefully things will be moving on that front soon, too.
Oh, and to top it all off, I only work for one more week and then I get to be home with Adelina! I just feel overwhelmed with God’s goodness. How sweet it is to be loved by You, Lord!
Hey, Jodi!
What a fabulous time for you and the family! It’s been a privilege to witness how the Lord has moved in you and Steve and Adelina.
Oh, and congratulations of being an official stay-at-home mommy! How does it feel? I pray the Lord’s blessings over you all as you embark on the new phase of your life.
Jodi, Just checking in on your Ukrainian princess! Mine continue to be great also. Good luck on your Russian adoption! We will continue to keep you in our prayers.
