I think God wants me to read this book. It started several weeks ago when Mom2Four left a comment on my husband’s post. She noted that she’d been watching the Radical Series over at The Church at Brook Hill’s website. So I meandered over there one afternoon and watched the first message in the series… wow. Not gonna lie. It… Read More
an answer for anonymous
I’m turning over the blog today into the trustworthy hands of my husband. He has agreed to tackle this recent anonymous comment left on yesterday’s post. It’s a comment I appreciate for it’s candor and sincerity, but one I wasn’t 100% sure how to answer: “… something has been nagging at me lately. I respect that you feel strongly that… Read More
one question answered… a big one
megadog said… How do you answer the question of “How much does adoption cost?” I am always mildly uncomfortable with that question and yet want to answer it honestly to help anyone who might be thinking of adoption. It’s a hard one for me. Do you have a good answer? Kateri said… The problem… they are all coming to me… Read More
God and me.
I’ve started this post numerous times over the last few weeks. It’s been a long, difficult wait to pour out what is in my heart. But Jesus has been working on me, helping me to weed out the things that don’t belong there. Hurt feelings. Critical thoughts. A desire to please others over Him. He’s managed to spoon feed me… Read More
buckle up. part 2.
There were several comments from my last post that were put off by the first sentence, “If you’re not a Christian, this post is not for you.” Even under the fire of those who choose to call that sentence un-Christian, I’m not retracting it. I’ve thought about it a lot. I meant it. And I still mean it. I am… Read More
buckle up
If you’re not a Christian, this post is not for you. If God hasn’t pricked your heart to the plight of the orphan, stop reading now. But if you’re still with me, I’ve got something to say. And it’s not wrapped up with a bow, nice and pretty and polite. So buckle up. What are you doing? To make a… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {how great is our God}
If you look closely enough, it’s always apparent. But in the spring, there’s just no denying. Our God is great. And He loves to indulge His children with His handiwork. Somehow, even in the midst of this my 41st spring, He never fails to take my breath away. As life sprouts up anew… after a season of seeming lifelessness. In… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {the beginning}
Five years ago today. April 11, 2005, we placed our order to Joe and Jennifer at My Adoption Website to host our travel journal to Isabelle. Their very first order. Looking back, I realize that Chris and I envisioned our “Journey to Isabelle” as an isolated event. We assumed that we would bring her home, and our lives would continue… Read More
ouch.
This is what I’m reading now. As sad as it is, I seriously need the reminder. To be grateful. For the big things, definitely… my relationship with Him, my marriage, my children. But to be grateful also for all the little things that He’s blessed me with, those that usually go completely unnoticed. The safety of our home. A full… Read More
another Lenten update
Today marks three weeks gone between myself and Ash Wednesday. And three weeks closer to Easter. One blessing borne of giving up something I love for Lent is that I am, in an whole new way, looking forward to Easter. And I don’t mean that as just, “I get to eat sweets again! Bring on the Peeps!” Even though I… Read More
