Ever Longed To…..

look into the eyes of a little treasure made in the image of the most-loving God and tell them how thankful you are that He created them? or linger, snuggle and pray over a little orphan-treasure as you tuck them in, knowing that perhaps they have not been prayed over in a really long time,…

Let “It” Go…

Over the years I have had boatloads of emails from women longing for their husbands to have a heart for the orphan and eventually a heart for adoption. Two weeks ago Dw was asked by our pastor, Pastor Luke, if he would be willing to speak for the Wednesday night service. Dw was so honored…

I’m guessing that many of you were kind of disappointed by the post yesterday {Part 3}. In today’s society, sweet friends, we want the answer and we want it quick. And often, we find ourselves wanting to get that answer from someone else. I know. I’ve done it before. Way too many times. “Someone…

He’s NOT a Deadbeat Dad {Part 3 }

When I began this series, I felt strongly from the Lord that I was to remind anyone who would listen that God is NOT a deadbeat dad and that He will provide for each of His treasures to be brought into their forever family. He wants every.single.orphan in a family. Yes, you read that right….

As I was thinking about doing a Memorial Box Monday story today, it dawned on me. Our stories, your stories, any stories we hear of His faithfulness, God uses to boost our faith. The power of God in each story is what He uses to encourage us each time we have a need. I have…

Tonight I am advocating for a 16 year old girl in Ukraine who would love to be loved by a family. That’s all she wants. To be loved. By a family. Perhaps together we could find a family for Nastya? Here is the interview: Nastya is a shy and quiet girl. During the interview it took…

Taunting Mommy

Friday night was an especially sweet all around memory-making night. After dinner, the little ones were being exceptionally rowdy. There is a long hall, with a tile floor, leading off the kitchen to the three kids bedrooms. They have enjoyed racing down that hallway quite a few times. Sliding. Racing. Screaming. Giggling. This particular…

I was up just after 4am today. The first thought on my mind was, “Oh Lord, I need to write Part 2, so please whisper your thoughts to me.” I got my Bible out and dug in. And do you know what He did? He spoke so clearly what to write for part 2…

He is NOT a Deadbeat Dad {Part 1}

Over the years I have had literally hundreds of emails from families who want to adopt, but find themselves worried, fearful and immobilized by the financial end of it all. Friends, listen up! In the last 28+ years {since we began adopting}, we have NOT met one person/couple/family who found a treasure, began that treasure’s…

The day is slipping away and sometimes it is really hard to get used to the time zone thing. Right now it is almost 8pm on the east coast…and we are just gearing up for dinner! So thankful for the sweet bloggy friend who shared a few old photos of our Jubilee when she was…
