10 Things I Learned in June

1.  22 seconds can make all the difference. This boy. 
 

 

2.  Sometimes impromptu parties in a box are just what a girl needs. 
I learned to sometimes just show up.  Fussy advance plans aren't always needed. 

3.  If these are wrong, I don't want to be right.

4.  I realized that I prefer Instagram over FB, but am way too addicted.  Really just want to set the phone and the iPad down and be present with my family.

 

5.  Strangers are generous.  Thanks to Love Without Boundaries, our daughter, Evie, has an army of people praying for her and cheering her on.  We've been blown away this month with emails from big hearted people who love her.  Our first adoption donation was from a generous person we've never met who loves our girl.  All kinds of incredible. We'll be making a book for Evelyn of all the emails, messages and comments so she'll know that she never ever fought alone. 

 

6.  Sharing a root beer on the porch swing with daddy goes along way.

 

7.  I've been shown how creativity blossoms on lazy, plan-less days.

 

8.  I see now that instead of telling people, "If you need help let me know", I should just come up with a way to help and ask for permission.

 

9.  I've been reminded that I love to write, and have missed it. 

 

10.  Like it or not, God prefers to have us living well out of our comfort zones.
