For those who have emailed me wondering if I've given up on blogging - I got the picture! No, the Weikels have not fallen off the face of the earth. Here is proof!
Feast or famine should be the new name for my blog. It isn't that I've not been busy in the past. But this school year's schedule seems to have very little wiggle room for extras, like let's say, blogging (or grocery shopping, sleeping - well you get the picture). I've made a few changes that have been good for me. I now take a 30 minute walk every day, have joined a new Bible study, have kept up with my book club. These are my sanity saving devices and have given my some built in quiet times that I've needed. It is awfully hard to hear God talking when life around you is making so much noise!
A year ago today, we all boarded a plane and were on our way to China. We were unsure of what awaited us, just knew that God was calling us there to our little boy. We met a little guy who was scared, undernourished, developmentally delayed and oh so sweet. Tonight I spent most of the almost 2 hours of High School Musical 3(yes, that is yet another post...) chasing that sweet but now active 3 year old down the aisle twice during the movie, hanging out in the lobby, retrieving him from BEHIND the video games, chasing him down the hall, keeping him out of SAW V. Needless to say, a lot has happened with our little guy in a year. He has also learned how to open the refrigerator on his own this week. I'll post more about that next week...
