There are so many choices we make regarding our children: education, clothes, food, caregivers, extra-curriculars, and the list goes continues. But (whether we fully acknowlege it or not) their saftey – as far as it depends on us – goes hand-in-hand with every decision! As you know, I am a contributing writer to the Madison…
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,…
Today is the first day of Lent. In my previous post, I wrote more to the history, how, and why of Lent – the significance of the 40 days, why traditionally people give thing up or add things in, etc. It gives a tiny glimpse into one experience that helped shape my faith, so please read…
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…
Every month, Modern Mrs. Darcy hosts a Twitterature Link-up as, “a place to share short, casual reviews of books…” There are always plenty of awesome recommendations and reviews, so if you’re looking for suggestions, head on over and hop around! Oddly enough, this month I am committed to reading 30 minutes before bed as part of my Change 3 Challenge, and…
I wrote this a while ago; oddly enough, it was an especially challenging start to the week and in preparation for my bible study this week, I remembered these thoughts and was convicted. There was a general clamoring, clawing, and crying for understanding this week, but I think again on this… Consuming, gut-wrenching passion coupled…
We were blessed to celebrate Calvin’s dedication this past Saturday. We’ve dedicated him to the Lord on our own (and daily), but this was our formal act and announcement that we are committed to raising our child in Christ – teaching him these truths and training him up in righteousness! Our families gathered around for the brief service and…
Two weeks have passed since I last updated on our adoption process! We had one paperwork snafu last week. Our social worker received a document that (whether it was accurate or not) needed an additional document stating that in fact this was not correct. So, we had to backtrack and have an additional letter written…
How are these months passing so quickly? I feel like I JUST wrote August’s Highlights and here we are looking back on September. It was definitely a wonderful whirlwind… I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but we started out the month with a little Wedding ;) If you missed it, you can check out Angie…
It has been so much fun to compile these posts – I love my dear family! It is my pleasure to share bits of our life and thank you, sweet readers, for coming along for the ride! Speaking of… Here they are heading to the reception! Traditionally, Greeks wear their wedding band on the right…
