During all the Christmas hurry and to-do lists, I've been trying to do a bit of extra reflecting.
We met our younger son and daughter one year ago this month. One year ago today, we brought our oldest along to meet his new sister and brother.
We spent our first weekend as a family of 5 -- restaurants, hotels, pools and 3 in the back seat of the pickup -- crash course in the crazy wonderful loud that would become us.
It is breath-taking how much has changed in a year. As a friend reminded me this fall when I spotted our previous year's Christmas card on in her kitchen -- God can do amazing, He's done it in our family.
Have we "arrived"? Is all the "hard" over? No. There is still processing, changing, remember and learning that will continue to happen. There are hard things that have happened that don't go away, loss that doesn't disappear.
But then I remember how far God has brought us in one short year -- Lean in. He's got this.
