Amazingly, astoundingly, it is time. Technically it’s not actually time, because I’m not on a plane and my hair is not fixed and my teeth are not brushed. (I’m in deep-packing mode, man.) But it’s almost time. In less than 9 hours we’ll be on our first flight heading for China. *gulp* And so what does a mama – after… Read More
we’re going to China
Y’all. We are going to China. Of course *technically* I’ve known since we submitted our LOI that going to China would be in our near future. But there is something very surreal about this whole process until you get right down to the end of all the paperwork-collecting and fingerprint-giving and passport-photo-taking… and actually approach the going-to-China part to bring… Read More
known by heart: the end
Wow. A little over 2 months ago we launched Known By Heart, having no idea what the Lord would, or would not, do. 1554 shirts and $37,440 in donations later, and we are done. So many sweet comments left, verses shared and photos posted by y’all – encouraging, supporting and just loving the stuffings out of our family and, most… Read More
one big step closer
Oh my goodness. I can hardly wait to get my arms around this little thing. We received updated measurements and Miss Magnolia is growing. She was moved into a foster home about six months ago and the move has made a wonderful impact on her growth. She is now, at just barely two, 32″ and 23 pounds. Which makes her… Read More
dreaming of Magnolia
I had a dream about her the other night. I’m not sure exactly what transpired, or even if it was a good dream or an anxiety-inducing one. But I smiled upon waking because she has now become part of my nighttime dreams as well as my daytime ones. I’ve been day-dreaming of her a lot lately. It might be because… Read More
the pink! the baseball!
Y’all have been pre-ordering these two shirts like crazy. And you are wise, because they are both super-duper cute. I thought it might be fun (and possibly quite helpful) to get a few pictures of them on my biggest girl, for those that have been wondering what they actually look like on a person. Here you go. The baseball shirt… Read More
known by heart: not done yet
Five short weeks ago we launched our fundraising effort to bring Magnolia home: Known By Heart. Incredibly, astoundingly, over $26,500 has been donated so far. Which honestly makes me want to jump up and down. In fact, I might have done that a few times in the last several weeks, just praising God for His faithful provision through the generosity… Read More
known by heart: 5 really good reasons to get one
We are almost 4 weeks in and 711 Known By Heart shirts are spoken for. Pictures have been popping up on FB and IG and I can’t tell you how big and crinkle-y my smile gets when I get to see the sweet faces that are helping us bring home our precious Magnolia. *crinkle* With 711 shirts gone and a… Read More
known by heart: an update
Wow, lots has happened since we launched Known By Heart 18 days ago, and I wanted to give an update since, well… it’s all good stuff. We got the shirts. All 840 of them and I love, love, love them. We traveled to Atlanta for the press check, just to be sure I’d love them as much in person as… Read More
known by heart
Y’all are the best. So much excitement as we grow by one – so thankful for the sweet messages and emails I’ve received, sharing in our excitement as we step out to bring Magnolia home! Soooo, I mentioned that there would be another way to link arms with us as we bring Magnolia home and well… here it is. We… Read More
