Fun, Thankful but Restless

While I am still processing our trip (trying to find adequate words), recovering from jet lag, and readjusting to life with two sweet ones, I did want to share with you that....

WE HAD FUN!  And I'm so thankful for NEW FOUND FRIENDSHIPS!
(especially with ones who like to jump on the bed at night!)

Can you tell we loved serving the Lord together?

But since returning, I am having a blast with these little guys.....

Oh, how I desperately missed their faces and their sweet, sweet smiles:)

Thank you, Lord, for these beautiful gifts you have given me. 


However, my heart is restless for the ones I left behind.  Their sweet faces are who I pray for in the middle of the night, when my boys are tucked away upstairs in their warm, comfy beds, with full bellies, good night kisses, and sweet dreams.

I hope that these children I held, hugged and loved feel the same way.  

Oh, I pray they do.




 Thankful to have served these little ones.

Thankful to have shared my Savior.

Thankful to be home with my arms around my boys.

Thankful that my life will never look the same.

Thankful to the One who is giving me a restless heart, 
I know He has great plans ahead.  



 "A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” 
Proverbs 16:9

Glad you had an amazing trip! You shared some beautiful pictures and amazing stories. I really enjoyed each of your posts which gave me a glimpse of what you must have been experiencing. Glad to have you back home, and I can tell your boys are happy to see you!

Did your mom ever tell you, NO JUMPING ON THE BED???
The little ones are adorable...their big brown eyes would melt anyone's heart!
