Did you ever have a time where you just need to be reminded of God’s love for you? Do you know what I mean? Something happens that shakes at your core. It produces all kinds of emotions. I know every one of you have experienced it. Let me back up a bit. When we were…

The Greatest Man in History Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master. Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He…

Emma and I have just landed in the US. One more flight and we will be ONLY a four hour drive home. I just spoke to Dw. He said that when he walked out of the bedroom today Elizabeth was sitting on the stairs waiting for him. She looked at him and said most seriously,…

Weeping

We were unable to go to the baby home until late afternoon today. When I got there I literally ran through the gates. I could not get inside fast enough. Searching all the volunteers arms…. Where is my tiny little treasure? Was someone already snuggling with her? Was she in the arms…

One tiny treasure. 7 months old. Desperately sick. Pneumonia. One tiny treasure. I pray over her as I hold her… Suddenly… The meanest orphanage caregiver {that I have ever seen} comes in to give her her medicine. I jump up, “Please will you let me give her her medicine?” She snarls, nods and thrusts…

First, I am thrilled that so many of you have said that you will pray {and fast} for Kirill’s situation. But there is more to the story….. {and I now have permission to share it} As I said yesterday, the adoption of Down Syndrome children has been unheard of in this region of Russia. …

If you read this last year, I ask you to bear with me and please read it again {for me}. If you think it can’t happen to you, think again. If you think it only happens in the daytime, think again. If you think your dog will wake you up, think again. If you think…

Disclaimer: If you are new to our Place Called Simplicity, then I would ask that you skip this post. Please. It is written only for those who have been ‘hanging around’ for awhile and have heard my heart repeatedly. The friends who ‘know me’. The friends who love me. And if you are a true…

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.
