Created 4 Care

This retreat has been awesome so far.



Surrounded by a bunch of ladies who love orphans.



And love the Lord.



Awed by the variety of ways to support orphans and orphan care…



147 Million

60 Feet

The Sparrow Fund



Sole Hope

Wiphan

Ordinary Hero



I’ve met some amazing ladies.

Heard some incredible stories.



And gotten some much needed face time with some of my very favorite people (missing you, Amie!)

P.S. I’m on a panel with some other adoptive mamas speaking about large families. Makes my tummy hurt. Pray that the Holy Spirit hooks me up, because I have no idea what I’m going to say…

    So wish I could have been there. I am sure the Lord used you mightily! I had some friends there. I do hope next year I can go. We didn’t want to plan anything because we were sure we would be traveling or have already traveled to bring home our son. Who knew we would still be sitting here without even an LOA??!! Oh well, I know it was a blessing to many and I hope to glean some of it from my friends. ๐Ÿ™‚
