The Color We Waited for. . .

So four years ago,
after starting the adoption process,
I helped Drew and Kate make a special art project for Kevin's
Father's Day present.
The project began that day - and finally we were able to complete it this weekend.

There is a story behind it all that you can read from this blog post:  Beyond Emotions.
It makes more sense if you read the backstory.

It really was a blessing to complete this for Kevin yesterday.
We like to make the art and pieces that go around our house, because they tell a story and remind us of a moment or a piece of a journey.  The unpainted pieces have been our story for a long time, but now God has fulfilled His promises with color to prove it.

This project began because of our Faith.  We were confident because of our Hope.  Love has been the reason and purpose.  Joy has truly been our strength.
Completion of this work solidifies it all and brings Glory to our God for His Truth.
Those four simple words have grown in me in special ways over the last four years. 
Kevin helps to establish them and live them for our children.

God has used each of our kids to teach us and bless us in the most amazing ways.  Their lives have given so much into ours.
These words are a representation of that.

I will forever be thankful that I share my life with Kevin and the outrageous blessing of our children.
May God continue to help us as parents and reveal His great Love to Drew, Kate, Sofi, and Luke!

Happy Father's Day to my Kevin!
