Today I am thankful for Family....When I felt like God was calling me to Brasil and this journey began, my family chose to support me every step of the way. The fact that they trusted that I could hear God's voice, and was deciding to follow his lead, they chose to let go even though that meant I would be living across the world. Letting go of their little girl, it's difficult but they knew it was the right thing to do. So, today I am thankful for them and their constant love and support in my life.
Knowing that I always have people in my corner fighting for me, that will never give up on me makes all the difference. Their sleepless nights praying for me and their encouraging words, have made this journey possible. And when I met the love of my life, knowing that He is brasillian and that could mean living far from them at long lengths of time, they still embraced him with all their love, as they would their own son or brother.
Their sacrifice to come all the way here to be a part of our special day, all they sacrificed, means so much to us. To receive Bruno with such love, and care for him as they would their own son, makes my heart full. I am so thankful for all they have done for us and continue to do for us.
Late night skype calls for advice and prayer. Praying with us over the lives of these boys and the influence we have in their lives. For the wisdom and advice they share through their many years of marriage. The care packages and cards just to show they care, and meeting my US cravings sending foods I'm missing. :) For the reminders to laugh and enjoy life, in the difficult times. I'm so thankful for their constant sacrifice, care, love and grace they extend to us everyday. Thank you for being our biggest cheerleaders, on this crazy journey we call life!!
