Over in Scotland

October 22, 2012 Linny Saunders4 Comments

I couldn’t resist, I knew you guys would want to know what’s going on over in Scotland. I mean, seriously, could these pictures get any cuter? Sweet bloggy friend, Moira, from Scotland sent two pictures the other day. Seems that after reading “What In the World Are We Doing?“ Eliana and Malachi and…

The Idea

October 19, 2012 Linny Saunders126 Comments

While I was praying about the orphan crisis and the need for many to be adopted, the Lord reminded me of something we had done a few years back. For those who’ve been hanging around our Place Called Simplicity for awhile you might remember, however, we still are going to structure things a bit differently…

What in the World Are We Doing?

This morning as I was praying, the Lord made it clear what I needed to share today. It’s comforting to my soul when He does that. He whispers and that to me, is the most unfathomable thing in my life. So here’s what He said: Do you know what today is? Besides being Tuesday,…

He’s Not a Deadbeat Dad {Part 4}

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}

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….

A Treasure Like Ruby Needs You…

In Swaziland there is a tiny little treasure who needs a baby sitter for a bit. Here’s the story: There are some missionaries who have been serving hard in Swaziland…and during their work they found a little tiny treasure. When I saw her picture, she grabbed my heart, because she reminds me of our little…

Ever Longed To…..

look into the eyes of a little treasure made in the image of the most-loving God and tell them how thankful you are that He created them? or linger, snuggle and pray over a little orphan-treasure as you tuck them in, knowing that perhaps they have not been prayed over in a really long time,…

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….
