Check out the rest of my thankfulness journey here.

#23: New Beginnings. I’ve shared that we were adopting again, a 15 year old named Kelsey. Well, we met Kesley last night when she moved into our home and we couldn’t have asked for a sweeter, more beautiful daughter. We spent a lot of time organizing her room, shopping and playing the Wii and we enjoyed her tremendously. I’m so thankful to God that he gave us the opportunity to be parents to this wonderful girl. I’m also thankful to God that he brought Kelsey here to give her a new beginning in life. I’m positive that God is about to do really big, beautiful and wonderful things in her life. Kelsey, we love and adore you so much already. We’re proud to be your mom and dad.

Here’s my first picture with our new daughter:

Here’s the first gift that we gave her with a beautiful note inside the front cover… if you read my blog, you know that I love this book, The Shack - it’s a wonderful, fictional tale that really puts God’s love for us into true perspective. I hope Kelsey finds healing and inspiration within its pages.

Practicing thankfulness,
