Anyone who knows me, knows I have to give a lot of thought before starting something new. I'm what some may call cautious. Well, I've given a lot of thought to starting this blog. I have been hooked lurking on other peoples blog for a couple of months now and decided the time is right so here it is. It's kind of wierd sitting here writing to all of you not really knowing who will read it or what they will think. The initial purpose of this blog is to enlighten and inform you on a very big happening in our life and that is the journey of adoption. God put it on our hearts some time ago and it's been quite a journey already. But I don't think I'll go into those details tonight. Instead I"m going to talk about the name of the blog. I wanted something meaningful and relevant and a season of hope was born. The season we're in right now is the dead of winter and it has been horribly cold where I live and well we all need a little hope. And my sweet little 6 month old nephew had open heart surgery yesterday, we prayed a lot and hope was and is certainly something we are all hanging on to for him. Currently he's stable and doing well. Hope is something we don't always think about but really need to hang on to, tonight during my quiet time I found the verse in Ephesians that talks about confident hope, and so here it is a Season of Hope. Will you join me?

Welcome to the blogosphere, Valerie! Good name, too.:)
TYEA!!! I am so excited! :) I'll be here daily... even if I don't comment~ you can count on it :)
Valerie - this is going to be such a GREAT way to share your thoughts and allow others to learn from this journey God has you guys on. Thanks for your willingness...I'll be checking in often. : )
YAY for entering BlogLand!!!!
There are so many ups and downs on the adoption journey. It is strange to be sitting in the comfort of your home expressing, sorting, or laying out your thoughts to who knows who. But at the same time having a place to come with your swirling thoughts is also very theraputic. You start thinking of life in the terms of "this is sooo a blog entry". :)
Can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for your family! :)
Valerie, what a wonderful page you have. I think it is neat that you put yourself out there for others to be inspired. And in return you will find comments from others who my give you ides and thoughts of their experiences. I love it. Cant wait to read more.
