how do you go on? I can tell you that thru Christ alone are we able to go on. He is our rock and fortress to Him will we run. Do I want to curl up under a rock and not "deal" with life, absolutely, but that is not what God has called me to do. My life looks different this year then last year, our family photo looks different this year. All I can say is God is good all the time, and I do believe that His purpose is mightier and bigger then mine.

that is the only way to get to Heaven. Know that Jesus died on the cross for you, for me. His perfect blood shed for us to be cleaned whiter than snow. You cannot be "good enough" for God, you have to accept the free gift that God gives to all people, you just have to accept that gift.

Sally,
You are all doing so well in the circumstances. Hang in there and be strong! I am so impressed you did the holiday card! We couldn't do it for a few years after our oldest passed. I think three years later we could do it again. We too still put up his stocking 6 years later and always will. Please stay strong and just try to get through each day and put one foot in front of the other.
All the best,
Sarah
hello,
i can't imagine what it would be like to loose a child but you are so strong for not falling apart. ava is gorgeous and she looks really healthy and happy, and that is encouraging to see because i see from a lot of russian adoption blogs a lot of the kids have mental/behavioral or attachment issues. i hope you and your family had a wonderful christmas, god bless!
Sally, I am not sure how I have missed the posts on Austin. My blogging check in has been sporadic at best. I just want you to know that I am so so so sorry. I cannot imagine what your family has felt these past months. I will not even begin to sympathize. I just wanted to say that I am sending up prayers for you all.
Thinking of you

I think of you often and have definitely said a few extra prayers this Christmas season for you. Sounds like you have a strong faith and I'm sure that's what is carrying you though this. Hope you and your family have a great New Year. God bless you all!
Your faith is such a beautiful thing and gives you such strength. I hope you know that I continue to keep your family in my prayers. The pictures are beautiful.
Your faith is an inspiration, and has blessed me and strengthened my faith. I cannot even begin to imagine the journey you have had to travel. Prayers and love to you and your family this Christmas season and in the New Year.
You are so strong! I cried looking at your pictures. I can only imagine what it was like to feel that void this Christmas season. Your pictures are beautiful! Ava looks gorgeous in green!!!
Merry Christmas sweet friend. You are always in my prayers.
