Welcome to the new blog! I really hated to leave behind the other, but I really wanted a blog that was more centered around what God is doing in our family as a whole, and I didn't want to add onto A's adoption story. It will be nice to have the previous blog to look back on as we remember God's faithfulness in our sweet girl's life.
As far as the title of this blog... I'm not very catchy or creative, so I'm sorry for that. I really wanted this place to be about giving the glory back to God, not trying to make us famous. This verse (and whole section of Scripture) is really about remembering our place. We are tiny and pretty insignificant when it comes down to it. Our family will quickly be forgotten when we move onto our permanent home, so we want our small time here to be about God's fame, not ours.
This blog will mostly be little collections of what is going on in our family, and it may not be very thrilling or deep sometimes, but that's OK. I loved blogging throughout A's adoption, and I have become very passionate about several issues because of that journey, but blogging about those issues may not occur often as we seek to have more intentional relationships with those right here, around us. I have met some amazing people through the blogosphere and online adoption community, but I have neglected many around us because of it, and we fully intend to flip some things around.
So, this blog will be whatever it is. Our journaling, experiences, challenges, passions, etc. It may be consistent for awhile and drop off, and that's fine, because it will mostly be a reminder to our family that God is faithful and the only constant in our life through each post we may look back on.
If you want to follow along, type your email address in up there in the top left. I will only post major announcements on Facebook for others to read. Otherwise, I will not be linking my posts to any other social media site.
Thank you to all of you who followed our previous journey to our first daughter. We think of you all and pray for you often as we thank God for you!
