THANK YOU LORD!

This morning I want to share all the things the Lord has done for us over these past few weeks:

1. Safe travel to and from Lithuania.  
2. Safety and good health while we were in Lithuania.
3. Safety and good health for the 4 kiddos we left home while we traveled.
4. Strength, comfort and PEACE as I wrestled with homesickness and major fears about the adoption the first few days we were in country.  
5. An amazingly smooth and QUICK process while in country so that we could be home in just 13 days.  For the work of Cathy, Silva, and Reda in helping bring Ben home!
6. Protection over Benjamin Kostas over the past 6 years and during this time of adjustment for him.
7. Strength, comfort and peace as we all adjust to our new family.
8. The love, help, and prayers of family and friends during our time away.  This was definitely a group effort!

I grew in my faith in the Lord during this experience, realizing that I do not need to depend on what I can do but rather on what Christ can do through me.  I learned to give my worries and fears to the Lord rather than fretting over them.

Thank you Lord for all you have done for us.  I am in awe of your perfect ways.
