What a lot we have to be thankful for this year! John and I were just talking last night about the trials that we've gone through that lead us to the amazing family of five that we are giving thanks for this year. My first prayer of thanks this morning was that 12 years ago, John pursued me in a way that he says he would have never done; it was God's leading. 12 years and 4 days ago, John proposed to me on the beach in Boca Grande when I least expected him to pop the question. Our journey has had it's many hard days but I could never have asked for a more amazing man to walk beside through those struggles and joyous days. We still don't and won't on earth totally understand the reason God takes us down the path He does to get us to the place He wants us to be. This year, I am giving thanks of course for the incredible blessing of children - after feeling that a part of our life was on hold for over five years, our family is complete now that Grace Lin is home! We are also so thankful for amazing family, friends, restored health and for financial provision during tough times!
