I made a little deal with myself. {Does anyone else ever do this?} I decided that I would not work on a blog post {favorite thing to do} until I had found something I had been searching for for weeks. I had absolutely no clue where it was before the move, let alone where it…

Do you remember just over a year ago when I asked for prayer for a precious treasure named Mattie? The youngest son of my friend Tracie Loux and her husband John. Many of you know Tracie from the adoption world. Adoptive mom. God-fearing. Orphan advocate. Tracie is also an adoption consultant and friend of…

Does anyone else out there have Family Meetings? We have them on a fairly regular basis. Sometimes our meetings are informational. Other times they are exuberantly exciting.

Some deeply disturbing news… If you read Saturday’s post you will recall that there appeared to be some exciting news from Africa – that Sudan was going to release Meriam soon.

FoxNews reports here that Meriam is to be freed from Death Row in the next few days. BBC also reports that Meriam will be released soon. There is no doubt that this is the work of Almighty God stirring the hearts of His people to intercede, fast and take action!! We praise the name of…

Ruby was up early this morning and after spending some time with the Lord, I set out to write a blog post. I was going to write about an extremely fun large-family-idea that my pile of treasures and I did over the last few days to launch into some {virtually free} summer fun! It was…
