I had another blessed, sunny afternoon. All four children are either sleeping or contentedly otherwise engaged (but mostly sleeping or soon to be). Ironically, my All Sons and Daughters Pandora station is my life soundtrack at the moment and I’m listening, worshiping, writing, and relishing the silence and space. The most pressing update is obviously,…
If you follow me on Facebook, you may have seen our huge announcement! For those who didn’t see, but have followed our adoption journey on the blog…we finally have our little man! We’ve trusted the Lord from day one, knowing that he would bring the perfectly ordained child into our family in His perfect timing….
{Captured}: Carving the time to capture and create in picture and word. //phone pics: We hosted two Both Hands Adoption Fundraiser kick-off meetings this week! They were fantastic…I was teary and overcome with gratitude for our beautiful family and friends that took the time out of their busy lives and schedules to support us…
I mentioned in my last Adoption Waiting Questionnaire, that we are working on two different fundraisers at the moment. We are crazy excited for these awesome opportunities and to share the details! Back in December, Andy and I were accepted with the Both Hands Foundation to conduct a fundraising project for our adoption! We LOVE this organization,…
I started this waiting questionnaire about one month after we started waiting. It was spurred on from following blogs, where each week the pregnant mommy completed a questionnaire of how far along she was, how she’s feeling, how she’s sleeping, weight gain, etc. We are expecting another baby in our home for whom we are…
It has been a while since I last updated you all on our Adoption Waiting. I spent much of November writing a series on Adoption. It was a feeble attempt at sharing God’s heart for the Fatherless (goodness, where to even begin and there is so much more to say), but it also resonates my passion for…
I hope you and your had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! We were away at my in-laws for three days and it was so restful and relaxing. There was lots of eating, talking, playing, and reading on the couch – pretty much perfect. Now, we’re diving back into reality head first and I am gearing up…
Last week I talked a little about how not every believer is necessarily called to adopt; but ALL of us are called to engage in the caring for the orphan and widow (and everything in between). So today, in wrapping up my series on the Heart of Adoption, I wanted to share 5 (of countless)…
Over the past couple of weeks of this National Adoption Month, I’ve shared the deeper heart of Why We Are Adopting and hopefully made clear my understanding that Adoption is not Charity, It’s War! Right now our church is doing a series called The Gospel Effect and the idea is that if we truly accept the Gospel,…
Every month I join Modern Mrs. Darcy’s Twitterature Link-up (which should be coming up at the end of this week and I am super excited to get some feedback on the books I read this past month). Today, she hosted a What’s on YOUR Bookshelf Link-up for all of us to sneak a peak at…
