Love Is In Bloom

The new year is always a really reflective time for me. I am a written processor, I love to write and see lessons I have learned become tangible on a page. I start looking back on a year and am reminded that life is ever changing and a lot can happen in a year's time. Sometimes what happens is noticeable to everyone around with announcements and major life changes, but a lot that happens is unseen and inside the heart. 2016 was a year of a lot of family dynamic change for us that was noticeable to everyone. There was a job change, foster daughter home to relatives, an adoptee son for two months, and then the adoption falling through. Unlike the public changes of 2016, 2017 was an inner journey of the heart that brought me to a place of healing after loss, joy after sadness, and peace after wondering and wishing. I am so thankful for the miracles God did in my heart this year. He truly healed me from my grief of missing our foster daughter and son we were so close to adopting,
