Oh friends!! I love the story I am about to share because of all the healing it holds. There is such power in this very personal story which, over the years, I have told our children dozens and dozens of times. As I begin to type it out, I actually feel giddy. It’s such…

Ruby sure was excited to learn that so many of you wished her wonderful birthday wishes, she smiled and wiggled her little wiggle… which means, “Oh I can hardly stand the fun!” She has been working hard on learning to hold up her open hand when asked, “Ruby, how old are you?” Ruby’s done…

We love names over here. I think it’s one of the funnest things of life! Even as a young girl I had my very own baby name book that I had bought myself. It was kind of a hobby…I reasoned that if I was going to have a sweet pile of treasures…

Dear Friends, I am writing this from my heart. Bear with me. Anyone who has been hanging around here any length of time, knows that I am a passionate advocate for the orphan, for the vulnerable and for special needs. You also know that I am convinced that God has an amazing plan for…

This verse has been mulling around in my mind these last few days: The mind of man plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps. Proverbs 16:9 With much on my mind, I was unable to sleep any longer yesterday morning. I just really wanted to spend some time with the Lord. I needed…

As I await the final edits on Rescuing Ruby I thought I would share a brief update… We are super excited to be so close to having it actually published. To be perfectly honest, it hit me the other day, “Wow! I wrote a book!” I don’t think it had ever really, really, really …
