and while they still have a long road ahead of them...

 

their journeys so far has been incredible and if I know Maggie and Lucy...

 

 

the way I know Maggie and Lucy...

their incredible journeys will continue to have its challenges but will also continue to inspire and amaze us all.

These two beautiful broken souls have much to recover from and much to learn but their compassionate hearts and generous spirits are a true testimony to the Lord's hand in their journeys...

even before they knew Him.

We are still working hard y'all and learning right along side our wonderful daughters and if the next 8 months are anything like the past 8 months...

I may need a looong vacation...

hehe

 aside from the vaca (grin), however, I know it will be an 8 months filled with love and laughter, learning and growing...

and yes, sometimes heartaches but always heart healing and not just theirs...

but ours too cause we are loving and laughing, learning and growing right along with them as our hearts ache and heal as well.

You see, that is what I think most people don't get.

As much as we are helping them...

they are helping us.

As we know more of where they came from and what their life experiences were before us and witness the compassion in their hearts that has been so closely nurtured and protected...

how could we not learn and grow and be healed right along with them...

because as I am beginning to understand...

there is always learning and growing and healing to be done and we feel very blessed that the Lord chose this way to teach and grow and heal us!

What a journey y'all and it has only just begun!
