The Goyer Family Christmas Letter | 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways Day 1

The Goyer Family Christmas Letter 2013

Oh, happy year! Here’s a look at the Goyer’s 2013 in review:
January 7, a.m. Exciting day for Tricia. In Colorado Springs taping video and radio spots for her new book, Lead Your Family Like Jesus, at Focus on the Family.
January 7, p.m. Exciting day for the Goyer family! Social worker calls John to say that two children in the foster care system need a home: Allisa (age five) and Casey (age two). After home studies, training, and lots of prayer this is becoming a reality for the Goyers!
January 9, p.m. John and Tricia meet these two children. They are excited, loud, and distracted. Do these kids understand what this is about?
January 10, a.m. John and Tricia wonder if they are getting in over their head. They pray, they worry, and then they open their daily Bible reading and the tears come. “Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you,” they read in James 1:27. Only God could orchestrate this verse at this time.

Notice a theme (#adoption) in @TriciaGoyer’s Christmas letter and 2013 books?

January 10, p.m. A social worker loads up a pile of stuff into the Goyer’s car and buckles in the kids. As the car pulls out John turns to Tricia, “Can you just believe the State of Arkansas gave us two kids?” When they get home Alyssa embraces her siblings and acts as if they’ve always been there. Sibling love!
January 11–March something, a.m. & p.m. John and Tricia wonder what in the world they’ve gotten into.
January 22. Tricia’s book Love Finds You in Glacier Bay, Alaska releases. Amazingly the main character is from the foster care system.
February. Tricia’s sister Lesley, nieces Sarah and Allison, and nephew Tyler visit!
March. Alissa (who chose the new name Bella) and Casey have settled in to good schools/therapy programs. John and Tricia are starting to hope of normal life returning.
March. Alyssa turns three!
April. John and Tricia celebrate twenty-three years of marriage!
May. Tricia’s book The Promise Box releases. Amazingly the main character is adopted. (Are you seeing a theme?)
May 18. Leslie graduates from UALR with her Bachelors degree. One week later she heads to the Czech Republic to be a missionary for a year!
June. Tricia’s book Lead Your Family Like Jesus releases. She travels to California to tape the video curriculum and gets to see her sister, nieces, and nephews!
July. The Goyers head to Montana for vacation and to celebrate John’s parents fiftieth wedding anniversary. Cory, Katie, and Clayton Goyer pack up and move to Arkansas. The drive from Montana to Arkansas takes forty-one hours!
July 16, a.m. Date at the courthouse. Bella and Casey are legally Goyers!

Get a peek at the #Christmas letter @TriciaGoyer mailed out this year!

August. John starts a new job with Oracle. He works from home now, yeah!
August. Nathan starts his third semester at UALR.
September. The Goyers buy a house big enough for everyone! Teen MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) starts its third year!
September 26, p.m. Chloe Mae Goyer is born to Cory and Katie!
September. Tricia’s novella A Christmas Gift for Rose releases. The main character is adopted. (Can you REALLY see a theme here?)
October. John is traveling for his new job. Tricia is able to join him in London. They meet up with Leslie!
November. Tricia’s friend Anita (from Austria) comes for a surprise visit. Thanksgiving is spent with the Goyers organizing a kids’ carnival at our church’s Thanksgiving dinner.
December 10. As I write this the kids are doing GREAT! They are happy and settled, and most of their issues are GONE! God has brought happiness and healing! The kids LOVE each other. He is good!

    No Christmas letter going out this year for me, and that’s mainly because I still haven’t finished making all of my Christmas cards! Oy!
    As a single woman (in her 30s), I’d soooo love to read the Praying for Your Future Husband book! Thanks for the great giveaway, and it sounds like you had an amazing year!

    We’re sending a photo card and a short Christmas letter (half page, usually our “top memories” list). Since we are waiting to adopt, family are looking for an update 🙂

    You are very blessed! We adopted our daughter 23 years ago yesterday from Romania. I truly understand the comments you made about wondering if you took on too much. We adopted a child with Special Needs.
    Merry Christmas!

    Hi Tricia, How interesting both your little girls began with the same name~ and she is Bella ~ did she choose with her sister having the same name, or was she Bella from the beginning? When friends of my daughter’s adopted foster children and our granddaughter knew they could choose their names, she said, “Mom, I would like my name to be “Sparkle.” Love it. Blessings on all of your family. I would like to win these books. I liked your Christmas letter. We have retired and do not send out a Christmas letter, but will be going to be a living letter with our same little grand who did not become Sparkle, after all. Kathleen ~ Lane Hill House

    I love getting Christmas letters (& even just notes in cards). I get to see a little bit of friends’ lives. BUT I do not send Christmas letters — sometimes would write a note in some Christmas cards. But I haven’t even sent Christmas Cards out for the last few years. And I’m not sending any out this year either.

    We are sending out a Christmas letter to those that live far away. We have a 22 month old and an 8 year old.

    No, we don’t do those in our family. Most of them live really close to me.

    The letter hasn’t been written yet. It is on the agenda for tomorrow. Never seems like enough time, especially when you work every day. Thankful for being able to work and being busy. Never a dull moment!

    Since we had our youngest daughter’s wedding, two sons graduated with their master’s degree, and other notable happenings in our family this past year, the answer is YES. We did a letter with pictures and a Christmas greeting. Oh, yeah, we included the best news that our daughter and her family are coming home after over four years on the mission field with our adorable grandkids too…just a little excited to share THAT news!

    I don’t do a Christmas letter but I love reading them. By the way, I love your adoption story. God has been laying adoption on my heart a lot, lately. We are not in a position to adopt right now but we shall see what the future holds.
