17. I want my own little camper to decorate and play in. 16. I live life out loud…and sometimes that bothers people. 15. Mostly, I have kept my being adopted private…in a box both literally and emotionally, and only share it with a few choice people. Lately, the lid keeps blowing off. 14. I like […]
I saw this video on another blog. It reminded me that no matter where I go, or what God calls me to do, He is with me, before me and around me. I love it. In the middle of my wrestling…He is here. In the middle of YOUR wrestling, He is there. Isn’t that cool?
Happy Blogiversary to me! We realized late last night early this morning, that it has been 3 YEARS 2 years….evidently, MATH is not my strong point, since I started blogging! I had been thinking about a blog for a while, but didn’t make the time to sit down and figure all of it out. (I still […]

I have been blogging in my mind all week, but when I sit down at the computer, I am getting caught up in the delights of so many other blogs and stories and pictures, that by the time I think of posting it is time to dash off to drop off snacks, pick up kids […]
I guess the only way I can describe how I feel about what I have been going through is that I have been GRIPPED. Taken hold of in a mighty way. I have felt, planned, spent my life and operated through the filter of someday adopting, of being adopted, of coming at life from this […]
This family is adopting a precious new baby…and they need help paying for the adoption. If you feel led to give, or just want to pray for them, please do! They have raised all but about 3,500. Update as of Monday at 10:00. The family now needs about $2,000 for the Agency fees. Praise God! […]
