Five Years Ago

Our life changed!!!

The mess maker at the bottom of the heap entered the room, and we have never regretted scooping her up and taking her home.














You all know Ellie:
Vivacious, tenacious, loving, caring, loud, and lovely. Full of compassion, full of energy, full of joy!

 

From the first moment I saw her face, I felt connected in some way. I could  never explain that feeling to anyone, except other adoptive parents. We trusted Jesus...that he was calling us to her. I didn't even know what a lipmeningocele was. We did NOT include spina bifida on our "checklist" of needs were willing to consider.

 

But JESUS knew~

 

We needed her to make our family all that He wanted it to be.

 

Happy Gotcha Day, Ellie!

I am so glad Jesus gave you to me!!!!!
