Miss Emma Joy
Yesterday I did a post about Mr. Nehemiah and today I’ve decided is Miss Emma’s day. There are so many emotions floating around this silver-haired mama’s heart as the days tick closer to early January. So many changes underway….including circumstances that I cannot quite share yet…and some that I just haven’t been able to bring…
Mr. Nehemiah Judson
Many have asked how Mr. Nehemiah is doing. I thought today would be as good a day as any to give you all a brief update on our adorably handsome most recent addition. When he arrived three months ago, he was: Pretty scared. Kind of angry. Definitely confused. Basically dazed. We didn’t know what to…
Three Days Left…
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that Orphan Wares is running a November special…. Order three items and receive free shipping {because of a generous donor who loves the orphan and OrphanWares}, through the end of November… As the holidays approach, what better way to shop then to know that your purchase allows orphans…

He also reminded me that I never told you, my sweet bloggy friends, about that storm. It was April 2011 that Emma and I…
Choosing Joy
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}
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…
