I’ve had some thoughts mulling around in my heart for awhile. The Lord has been whispering some truths to me and to ignore them would be wrong. They’re not necessarily easy to read {please skip if you’re not in the mood}, but they are, none the less, truths from Him and His word….

Sitting here barely able to see the keyboard to type….wiping my eyes, a complete mess.. Last year I advocated for a group of treasures who have been given the privilege of spending their summer at host families through Children’s Cultural Connection Host Program… This year I wrote to Ginger, “I want to advocate early –…

Two moms each posted pictures on my Facebook wall after yesterday’s post. Today I asked their permission to share them here as well. In reading the comments left on yesterday’s post {super fun if you are up for it} one thing is very clear: God uses the dolls little ones play with to foster a…

A few weeks ago our oldest, Abigail, asked me a question. I didn’t hesitate. After all, there are all kind of things we are willing to do for love. Even if we’ve never done them before. But first let’s back up… As most of you know, Abi and Ryan and Finley surprised shocked us at…

It’s been six months since our Nehemiah joined the family. We had a post-placement visit the other day. Our caseworker mentioned how relaxed he has become compared to her first visit.

This post has been mulling in my heart for a really, really long time. I have prayed. If you are ‘not in the mood’, then please just skip it. If you decide to read, proceed with caution and remember that what I share, I share in love and through deep conviction in my own…

Today I have been unable to stop the tears from welling in my eyes. All day long. Of course, I am missing my Emmy and tomorrow Dw will be heading home with the team. Reality sets in. This is truly happening. I’m used to Emma and Dw leading teams for 3 weeks at a time,…

So thankful for the ability to capture our treasures in motion. And this girl of ours – well she definitely has groove. And yes, this is her ‘normal’ self, unaware that I was videoing as my camera was well hidden {and I’m whispering because I’m on the cell with Autumn}
