Wish #64

I apologize for not updating the site sooner - but we had no new news on Ty's paperwork and we were in a bit of a funk. So we waited with the rest of the Christian world and celebrated the miraculous birth of our Savior...and how meaningful that was this year! We came back from our holiday refreshed, with purpose and surety in God's time.

This squish arrived some time ago and I am thrilled to post it. The Gibsons are some prayer warriors we met in Colorado Springs when we were stationed there and some of the coolest folks around. They would be included in that group of military folks that we could EASILY be stationed with again! They wrote:

Dear Ty,
Welcome to America! May you be as blessed by this family as they are blessed to have you. Would you do us a favor? Would you take care of this family for us until the Lord sees fit to move us closer together??? :) God sends his special angels to earth to take care of us and we think you are just the "Angel" to fill this job.

"I asked the LORD to give me this boy, and he has granted my request."
1st Samuel 1:27 NLT

Much Love,
Steve, Lonnie, Ashlee, Christopher & Andrew Gibson

I love these words because it is so wonderful to me to think that Ty has a job, a future and a purpose in this world. So often we hear people (innocently) comment about how we are such wonderful people for "rescuing" this young boy. What they don't realize is just what Steve and Lonnie wrote - that Ty is important and has a role in our family. He isn't helpless or weak. We aren't heroes or miracle workers. We are just a Christian family, with amazing friends and family, that are walking down the path that God has put us on. And so is Ty. And so are you....
