I have officially been an older sibling for one year.

Yes, it's been a whole year since my amazing brother and sister were brought home to the States and forever family. Sunday, November 9, was one year since we arrived back in the States from Guatemala. I never could have imagined how much their lives would change me, but I'm so grateful God placed these precious kids in my life. I know we saved them from poverty, but they saved me from poverty of a different kind. I had poor perspective, poor faith, and very poor compassion. Their coming here has made me step back and look at life in such a different light, or maybe just in the light finally. They are growing so fast, they make their little mistakes, drive me crazy sometimes, and all the normal stuff. But it's so amazing to hear little children go from being orphans themselves, to praying for all 'the little kids around the world who don't have mommy's and daddy's.' So, here's to one year with the little blessings, and many more.
