Little things.

It’s the little things.

It’s truly the little things God does that convince me He is God. I’ve learned (specifically in the last 5 years) that God is interested in the little things. I could write for days about all the tiny things He did through my babies. This trip,  is no different.

I love snow. Love it. Ask anyone who knows me. We decided to schedule this for spring break not only bc the girls would be out of school a week but bc the fierce northeast snow season would be over (only bc we didn’t want to worry about travel delays etc bc clearly planning FOR snow would be my ideal)  But..... a couple days before we came they had the biggest snow of the year. Snow on the ground & tons of it. Thank you God for that little things.

Top floor. If you’ve ever been to a hotel with me, you know I always ask for the highest floor possible. I like to see what’s around me. I like the views. We checked in last night and they gave us a room on the top floor. It’s an old house so there’s only 3 floors but double bonus bcthe #3 is my favorite number. Thank you God for the little things.


Chinese people. It may seem odd but since our first trip to China I’ve felt most at ease around Chinese people. Give me any public situation, if I see a Chinese family my heart feels warmed. Our most profound memories are from our two trips to China. We absolutely loved China. Loved every part of it. When we eat at a Chinese restaurant or encounter Chinese people we are reminded of all those awesome memories.  We are staying at family housing for the hospital. There were a few families hanging out downstairs when we arrived. By the time we got our luggage put up we came back down and there was just one family down there. You probably see where I’m going here. They are from China. They are here from Beijing for their daughter. Again the next morning when we came down for coffee and some cereal. The only family downstairs. The family from China. Thank you God for the little things. There are actually 2 families from China and one China adoption family. Thank you God for the little things.

Rainbows 🌈. In our family we are always looking for the rainbows. This old house has stained glass in just about every window. With that plus the old glass ... on every wall 🌈🌈🌈🌈 during the day. Thank you God for the little things.

That’s just a few examples. There’s another dozen or two I could add and might in another post. Today the messages and posts and prayers upon prayers truly lifted me up. In the midst of disappointing results and sheer exhaustion God breathed something new in me. I feel good. I feel stronger.  I feel like I can trust in God’s plan a little bit more.

So we get a little downtime and I’m sure glad for it. Tomorrow is supposed to be a pretty day and be a warm 40 degrees. Snow ❄️ again on Sunday 😉

I can’t thank you enough for all of the love and support you’ve shown.

With a grateful heart!

Ps. if there was anyone wondering how Henry is doing after his procedure today... he’s a maniac. The kid has been running full speed ahead since we left the hospital 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ve had to hold him down and make him follow Dr’s orders!
