Oh sweet friends, there is some magnificent news circulating blog world….the reverberations of God’s mighty hand are echoing throughout the universe! When we fast and pray we are begging God to move, but ultimately we have to submit to His plan, His will and His care. Yesterday I got an email from a bloggy friend….

It has been humbling and amazing to me that people around the world have fasted and prayed today for the orphan. If you check back on the comments from yesterday’s post, you will see that Char was finishing up her day fasting from her home in the Middle East. How awesome is God!?!! Can you…

Well since several of you have asked how one fasts with toddlers, I thought I would do a post about it all. First, God is looking at our heart. He is well aware of our responsibilities as mommies. I have been fasting since I was a teenager. I fast regularly. I am continually hearing of…

Why is it that adopting a child {or children} has to be so hard? Why are there often seemingly insurmountable obstacles? Why can’t it be easy? Why does it all have to be so difficult and complicated? Why does it have to test our endurance so? I have been asked these questions many times and…

Sweet friends, my heart is heavy today. Yes, there are many reasons for the heaviness, but I know this: When we praise Him and minister to others our own troubles pale. He wants our focus to be on Him and others, no matter our circumstances. Period. Isn’t that just so hard sometimes? I know it…

If I hear one more time, “I know people who would love to adopt, but they could never afford it. How did you afford it anyway?” I think I might just scream. Really. Recently I heard this for the 12,476 time from yet another well-meaning Christian leader. I kept my composure, but it would have…
