“THE PROCESS IS THE END. FOR IT IS THE PROCESS THAT IS GLORIFYING TO GOD.” --Oswald Chambers

"This life therefore, is not godliness but the process of becoming godly, not health but getting well, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not now what we shall be, but we are on the way. The process is not yet finished, but it is actively going on. This is not the goal, but it is the right road. At present, everything does not gleam and sparkle, but everything is being cleansed." --Martin Luther

happy (way late) birthday joe



Yes, this is a couple weeks late. We didn't forget; we did the cake, ice cream, presents and all that. But we were staying at the farm that week and I didn't have any up-to-date photos to post. And every time I have thought about doing this, I wasn't at home or was in the middle of things.
So, here's a late birthday photo of Joe (his b-day is January 26th). He's been with our family for a little over five years now. Sometimes it's wow-five years already! other times it's-what? only five years? We weren't sure what God was doing when He called us to adopt, and it's been quite a ride-the process of getting ready to adopt, then choosing Joe and getting him here, and now the continued family adjustments. I sometimes often times wonder if God thinks more of me than He should!
But he is here with us now, and try as I might I can't imagine what it would be like without him and the journey that he brought about in our lives.
