"Define yourself radically as one beloved by God. This is the true self. Every other identity is illusion."
― Brennan Manning, Abba's Child: The Cry of the Heart for Intimate Belonging
So thankful to know God loves each of us just as we are, how we are, where we are. We do not need to clean up our act to come to him. Just come. Just as you are.
Ben was washing dishes the other night to the music of his mp3 player! So thankful for his help with daily household chores!

Well, not really.....
They are quadcopters that Ben and Kurt received as a gift from our sending church.
They are lots of fun to watch being flown. 
The guys like to buzz them by the cats or me.....
I'm thankful they have these to enjoy!!!
Today, Feb. 20, we celebrate the 2 year anniversary of James' adoption.
He's been our son since he was a small baby, but in the eyes of the law he is now officially our son for 2 years which means we can reapply for his immigration visa to the USA!
Pray with us about that -- for it to go well and smoothly.
