facebook is officially good for something in my life (not just a thief of time or an avenue to needlessly compare myself to others) - if for no other reason than to be able to receive and read the birthday wishes of so many, i am thankful for facebook. there, i said it.
during our vacation there was one day where we were on the gatlinburg bypass - it's BEAUTIFUL...and winding...peaceful.... and i was contrasting that road to the main street through gatlinburg -- it's busy...and commercialized...and crowded...and so "of the world" in so many ways...and i just had the sense that God was showing me something about our lives in those 2 roads. i don't know....i just don't want to look like the world. at all. and yet i do in some ways.... i don't know if God wants to use those roads to teach me anything else....or if He's going to clarify what He was saying...but it was a holy moment on the gatlinburg bypass.
other favorite moments from our trip: emma sliding down the slide into the balls, friday night walk and baskin robbins with nick, caroline's dancing and singing, eli's late night reading
least favorite moment: falling off of the counter. silly pride.
random thought - if you ever have something specific that you'd like me to write about, i'd LOVE for you to let me know. email me anytime.... dianna@teenadvisors.org ...but please only give me one topic/question at a time in the email...otherwise i'll get a little overwhelmed with the choice and may not ever write about any of them.
adoption update: the adoption process is still in process. we're waiting to hear from bethany (the adoption agency...not a person) what our next step is....the ball is definitely not in our court right now. i am peacefully waiting to see what (who) God has for us.
i'm not sure why i'm still up and sitting at this computer (the time mark on this post is going to be 7 something....really it's 11:15). i really want to be asleep. i'm going to head that way. thanks for sharing life with me. good night.
