we're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo. how about you, you, you. you can come too, too, too. we're going to the zoo.friday we went to the zoo with my mom, sister, and her boys.i cannot wait till they are legally adopted so i can share pix with you, and show you just how ADORABLE they are!i love the way her oldest says, "tia denise pick me up," and then he comfortably settles into my embrace, letting his sweet little hands rest on my neck. he is so loving.
i love the way the babies eyes light up. oh, he is a sweet, happy boy!
i know i am just their tia (their "favorite tia" as i have taught them to refer to me), but i know i can say for the entire family that we are all BLESSED that God wrote them into our lives. He is a good God! me with my sister toni.
Sounds like a great day! I wish I could come too, too, too....but we're hunkered down here trying to potty train.... :)
Denise, can I just say that your beautiful heart truly inspires me. I love how you weave God's goodness into everything you write about. So encouraging.
Praying that the adoption goes through smoothly and quickly :)

"By entering through faith into what God has always wanted to do for us- set us right with him, make us fit for him- we have it all together with God because of our Master Jesus. And that's not all; We throw open our doors to God and discover at the same moment that he has already thrown open his doors to us. We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand- out in the wide open spaces of God's grace and glory, standing tall and shouting praise."
"Even in childhood was implanted within me a trace of that mysterious unity from which I was derived" St. Augustine Everybody has to change or they expire. Everybody has to leave, leave their home and come back so they can love it again for all new reasons. I want to keep my soul fertile for the changes, so things keep getting born in me, so things keep dying when it is time for things to die. I want to keep walking away from the person I was a moment ago. Only a good story has a character that's different at the end than it was in the beginning. Through Painted Deserts - Donald Miller

"So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life - your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life - and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him."
