Catching up-all about friendship!

(thanks Kostas)

Good morning friends! I am long overdue with thanks to my friends Genesis, Expat Mom and Kostas, fotoseasons and bee foto blog , who nominated me for two blog awards. I am blessed to have them both for my friends, they have both been a blessing to my life.

Genesis lives in Guatemala and was and is, such a huge supporter of our adoptions...first to our Guatemalan one that unfortunately came to an end prior to any children arriving into our family, due to the country shutting down to adoptions and now to our Ethiopian one. She always has a good word and reminds me that God is indeed faithful. She has a beautiful family and shares their lives with such sweet transparency.

Kostas lives in the beautiful country of Greece. He is an inspiration from behind the camera lense and also he blesses me with his beekeeping (a secret desire of my heart). He stops by to encourage me to continue to raise up my family to follow God-and to encourage me in the fact that he sees the fruit of God's Spirit in our lives. Truly a kind word lifts up the heart Kostas.

(thanks Genesis)
