Having made the decision to move back home, we got busy preparing our house to sell, purchasing property and making plans for our new home. We had also begun a child-specific home study in preparation for adopting our little Princess. It had been a long time coming and of course, that whole process took a long time, but we were almost there!
It was a busy time and blog posts were few and far between, but I did make a year end post that summed things up...

"In his time God will work all things for our good and for his glory, and even if we don't ever get to see the whole picture....well, God is still good isn't he!"
From my blog:
December 31, 2011 Reflecting on 2011
2011 has been a year of challenges and changes for many of our family members and friends....and to a lesser degree, for us. But through all the difficulties the answer has been, "Seek the Lord and his strength."
Even when we don't understand what we're going through, and we can't possibly see any good coming from a situation, we know that God is in control, and he is allowing these things for his own purpose and plan. Yes, he could step in and stop things from happening; he could heal a sick child, he could deal with people who hurt us, he could remove leaders from their positions, he could bring a prodigal home, but if he chooses to do something different...well, he must have a good reason, and as hard as it sometimes is, we just need to trust him, keep looking up, keep moving forward, and keep doing right. In his time God will work all things for our good and for his glory, and even if we don't ever get to see the whole picture....well, God is still good isn't he!
The last quarter of this year has brought us a clearer vision of our future, and we're excited about the changes coming in 2012! I'll be sharing more of that in the coming days. Who knows, I may even get back to posting regularly....but I'm not going to promise anything....no new year's resolutions here!
