Recently, I've been thanking God...
- for my new niece Alethea
- for my parents' adoption of Luke, after many years of trying!
- for all I'm learning by home-schooling my children
- for 13 years of marriage
- for friends and family I got to see in California, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin in November and December
- for a new mini-van, which feels so luxurious, but will hopefully last quite a while and be big enough to fit all the kids even as they become teens
- for the Syrian refugees, living in tents through one of the coldest and wettest winters in the Middle East in 20+ years
- for my parents' next step, as they prepare to leave SIM and Nigeria, and look for work in the U.S.
- for friends and family who are struggling with illness and death
- for the patience and diligence to develop new friendships
- for wisdom in knowing what God really wants of me right now
- for the provision of a new home, at just the right time, so that Ethan can get the speech therapy he needs through a different school district
