Today and tomorrow are the last days to guess how many blog posts I’ve written, both published and waiting in the draft folder. If you missed the post, it’s here. What are we celebrating??

And Then It Won an EMMY

Last December I think I mentioned that our family was asked to participate in an interview with the KTVK-3 news station here in Phoenix regarding our church‘s over-the-top, incredibly wonderful special needs ministry – In His Image. We were thrilled at this privilege and had a emotional time sharing what the ministry means to our…

On Thursday March 2nd, our precious Autumn delivered her newest little one: a boy – Sawyer Archer Len Hujus. Sawyer arrived at 7 lbs. 6 oz. at 7:56 am. It is so painfully difficult to be so far away from my treasures – and especially at such an exciting time! It was truly killin’…

After waiting all year for our journey to the Home Place, it was hard to see it come to a close (and there is a post coming with all the things that this visit brought!)…but yesterday there was an encounter – orchestrated only by the hand of God. Having left New York on Tuesday we…

Our New Friend – Nick Vujicic

Being the mom of several “involved” special needs treasures I often pray that I can discern what they are feeling. Life is tricky, no doubt. But when your struggles seem apparent to everyone, it might just feel a little trickier. So I pray a lot. And we talk. A lot. Then we pray. And…

It’s often mind-boggling to even see a glimpse of how God works behind the scenes. I firmly believe that He does crazy things to remind us that He’s attentive, He’s always working and He’s just so stinkin’ crazy-in-love with us!! This is a beautiful story of His behind-the-scenes work. About 18 months ago, in January…

Sometimes I encounter people who find it hard to imagine that God cares about the little things. They have felt that God only cares or has time for the big stuff…and the little stuff is just not on His radar. Well, here’s yet another illustration of God’s overwhelming faithfulness.

Last Friday, Dw arrived home from Uganda. A few days earlier Savannah had texted me a few days before asking if she could pick him up as she was on her way over to swim with some little ones she would be babysitting. So on Friday afternoon they texted to say they were almost home….

Ruby sure was excited to learn that so many of you wished her wonderful birthday wishes, she smiled and wiggled her little wiggle… which means, “Oh I can hardly stand the fun!” She has been working hard on learning to hold up her open hand when asked, “Ruby, how old are you?” Ruby’s done…
