I have been married almost 15 years to my husband. We have five children with our 5th adopted in March of 2008. My husband is Ethiopian by decent and well I am... not Ethiopian -- only by taste buds! I taught school for 13 years and am now into the business of selling houses.
Selah often means to rest. It also means to take measure of the meaning of what has been said. We are attempting to measure and take in all that we have learned in this journey to our new son from Ethiopia. God has truly blessed us! We have treasured the love and support of friends and family during this process. We can never thank you enough. This blog is to help document our journey to Malachi and help us to remember each moment.
I have been finding such comfort knowing we are truly in God's shadow. Psalm 91 lets us know that we are as HIS baby bird in a nest completely covered by HIM.

Dearest Kimberly, I hadn't checked your blog for a couple of months, but knew you'd been ill. My heart aches for you and your family with all that you've been asked to bear. I wish I was close enough to help in some way, but I will keep praying for you all. I looked at your family picture for longest time thinking of how much I love each one of you. Please tell the kids that I miss them! Jo Bunch
Kimberly, I'm sorry I have not checked in here or on the adoption group to get all this news so I could be praying more sooner--but I will do so now. God bless your family through this time and in preparation for all He will continue to do in and through you through and long beyond this time. Praying Luke 22:31-32 for you--that your faith my not fail.
What a fabulous family photo! Love it! I hope you continue to heal (and quickly!) and that your brother's treatment goes smoothly. Thinking of you all...
What a beautiful family! My husband is Ethiopian and I too, am without a tan :) We met when I came to ET to adopt my daughter. He belongs to the Evangelical church in ET and here in Chicago.
