E&H

and just like that, they're gone....

they boarded a plane and were on their way, pink Skye suitcases and all...they've taken a piece of our hearts, as expected.  i'm willing myself to speak God's promises over this situation.  i know He loves them more than i/we ever could.  a friend has challenged me to allow this outcome to increase my faith and deepen my trust in Him.  isn't that the point after all~ to walk carefully in God's will and trust Him with the outcomes, even when things don't appear to make a whole lot of sense or seem like the outcome we'd hoped for?  

Layla's chalkboard words were especially well chosen (all on her own~cool timing!) this month and capture well my feelings.  the neat part in all of this?  the many gentle and warm reminders i'm given that God is with us through these days since saying goodbye and the simple and sweet ways He is communicating His care over us.  if we feel this grace and love being rained down on us, how much more must He be caring for those sweet and vulnerable little souls with their new beginnings and unknown surroundings?  i have to believe that...

dear E&H, your infectious spirits intersected our lives in ways that will forever change us.  so grateful for all that you taught us and for the chance we had to see your joy and spunk and beautiful personalities soar!  we love you both to the moon and back and always will!
