Choosing Joy

October 26, 2012 Linny Saunders21 Comments

Today I am choosing JOY. It is a choice, right? Cause if I didn’t choose joy, I would be walking around in complete frustration. Grrrr. And some of the things that make my heart happy are balloons….driving down the road, I sound like a little kid when I start squealing, “Look at the balloons guys!!…

Storing Up Treasures {The #2s}

October 26, 2012 Linny Saunders9 Comments

We have prepared by studying {the Deadbeat Dad Series parts 1-4}. We have Praised, {Fasted} and Prayed. And now we get to Respond to all that God has shown us. How stinkin’ cool is that? Kind of like training, eating well, and then running the race! While we were Fasting and Praying on Tuesday,…

The Questionnaire

What a beautiful day it was: Praising [loved that!], {Fasting}, Praying for each other…. Doing the He’s Not a Deadbeat Dad series, we finished up with remembering that the primary way the Lord provides for people to bring treasures home is simple: through orphan-lovin’ people like you and me. Since the Lord reminded us of…

MBM: Ruby’s First Friend

In the Old Testament God told the Isrealites to take stones and pile them in a specific place to remember the story of how God rescued them. They were to then tell their children the story over and over and over each time they saw the stones. At our home we have a big box…

Why We Do What We Do…

Many of you have written and asked me questions about our life. I suppose to most having a boatload of treasures {at our age!} is a rather wild idea. Of course in the midst of it all, we have the privilege {which we thank the Lord for all the time} of home schooling those same…

He’s Not a Deadbeat Dad {Part 4}

October 11, 2012 Linny Saunders47 Comments

Yesterday did not turn out as planned. You’d think after all these years as a Mom of Many that I would learn that I shouldn’t plan anything to ‘turn out as planned’ because that doesn’t happen often. Sooo trusting Him and His timing, here’s what I was going to write: After writing the first three…

An Idea {or Two or Perhaps, Even Three}

October 10, 2012 Linny Saunders3 Comments

Yes, I do believe the Lord gave me an idea, two ideas actually for those in the midst of an adoption. But first some thoughts. Many of you have written private emails since I started the series. I am going to see about answering them, generally speaking, over the next few weeks, in this series….

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….

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 }

October 2, 2012 Linny Saunders21 Comments

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….
