Not a baby anymore...

Last week my 2 year old graduated to a big boy bed.  I held onto his "baby days" for as long as I could, but all good things must come to an end, or so I've been told. My life has been so blessed by all three of my "babies" but it is aways bitter sweet watching them grow up.

The good news is that the picture below is not of an empty crib but a crib ready and waiting for a new precious baby.  I'm not sure if I will keep the crib up as I think about our children in Ethiopia every time I go into the boy's room.  But, for now I am content and feeling ready to accept our referral as soon as it comes!

Our adoption journey has helped me to grow in many ways. Philippians 4:12-13 is on my heart today:

I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, 

whether well fed or hungry, 

whether living in plenty or in want.  

I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
