Since this is my “diary” of sorts for my family to read someday, I just have to share about today. It is a 5th Sunday. That means that we combine our services, the place is standing room only packed. Dw started the service off with introducing a couple from our worship team who are adopting…

It’s been a couple of months since I “updated” you, my sweet bloggy friends, with how my Crown of Splendor is comin’ in. I just snapped these two pictures a few minutes ago. One in natural light and one in our foyer. I got it cut yesterday and she said, that in the…

He stole our hearts almost five years ago with this picture…. smitten completely with this one as well….. It took God moving the mountains{the mountains being the entire Chin*se Government} to bring him home, as many around the world fasted and prayed for a miracle…. In fact, the other day we were talking about God….

Memorial Box – {Tuesday} – Being Completely Vulnerable

January 26, 2011 Linny Saunders81 Comments

I mentioned last week that I was considering sharing something that happened while Dw, Emma and Graham were in Africa. I’ll be honest. All day long today I have struggled. Do I make myself completely vulnerable? Do I just share it all? ugh. Here’s why I struggle: It’s fresh. There have been times when I…

Elijah Mueller Turns FOUR!

Our littlest treasure {so far} turned FOUR today. The little guy whose smile melts this mama’s heart. Rather shy and quiet, let me just say, this guy knows how to pray. He is concerned for those around him and prays with passion. We know that the man Elijah {in scripture} was “a man who…

The kids came running to me this morning as I was dressing for the day. Somehow they had looked at a calendar and found that is was the 24th. I confess, I rarely keep track of what day it is. Monday, Tuesday, etc, yeah, I know those {usually! haha} But seldom do I know…

Emma and I Are Lookin’ For:

a group of crazy, fun lovin’ gals who want to make a difference in this life, who believe that orphans are the sweetest treasures of God, who think working at a feeding program in the slums is truly being Jesus’ hands and feet, who aren’t afraid of loving till it hurts, who aren’t squeamish about…

Dw had left me to sleep in this morning. He was going to get the little guys breakfast. {I am not much of a sleeper-in type gal. There’s way too much to do in my humble opinion.} Anyway, Dw’s cell was charging in our room and it started ringing. It was early. I…
