Friday night: We caravanned down to Magnolia, through the most beautiful area that I love so much. After many minutes of anticipation winding through a beautiful subdivision, we arrived at the Seay's house (it was sooo awesome! They have a room for their grandkids that can sleep about 20!!!!). The boys were promptly sent outside to make us hot dogs, while we stayed inside and chatted (I mean, finished setting things up for dinner!). Then a session on commitment, then we sat around talking until we went to bed.
Saturday: early breakfast and pillow fighting with Justus, one of the Bacak's kids. It was so funny hearing the hilarious things he says, and he has the most infectious laugh I have ever heard. Then was the "This Is Your Life" scavenger hunt all around Magnolia, and then back to the Seay's. Jason and I didn't get all of our finished, but we had a great time running around. Then lunch, a session on adoption (Jenn and Rusty have an amazing passion for trans-racial adoption, and are really an inspiration and comfort to anyone who might be considering adoption, for any reason!) and then we wrapped the day by praying for each couple. It was so beautiful to spend this time with each individual, praying for what each one of us is dealing with. God is really watching out for us!
Galatians 4:4-6
But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

Today I am thankful for those who have chosen to adopt, including our Lord. We are all adopted sons (and daughters!) of God, because He chose to love us when He didn't have to. Thanks to all of the parents who give loving homes to children who otherwise may never know what that feels like, and the birthmoms who are, in the truest definition of the world, pro-life, for their courage and commitment to their children!
Oh, and in case you're wondering: my love languages are quality time and words of affirmation. :)
