Author Archives: admin I have A LOT of faults (serious procrastinator, always—ALWAYS late…but I REALLY want to be early, hate cleaning, serious daydreamer and believe it or not…I have a REALLY hard time expressing my feelings…just to name a few). BUT I do have one strength that amazes my hubby and it’s my mad skill for remembering gift […] Isaac, Today—May 7th, 2010—you turned 9 months old! 9 months ago TODAY…you were born into this world. 9 months ago today, God called this momma to be your momma. It has been a long road, but worth every bit. AND TODAY…I long to be with you. I wish I could photograph this 9 month milestone…whatever […] happy 9 months, isaac!!! I was trying to click “like” and then I realized…this isn’t FB! =) That. Is. What. I. Am. Tonight. Thankful. And. Amazed. Soooo…just earlier today—I wrote our FINAL cupcake total ($2,229.90). AMAZING. God’s provision. Not sure if you remember–but in an earlier post I said we were told to expect our trip to cost approximately $3,000.00 a person. I was thinking—we could use our SkyMiles for our ticket…but […] Incredible!!! Proof again that God is writing every DETAIL of Isaac’s story. Love how HE is writing your testimony one step at a time! “TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!!” That’s just awesome, just plain and simple, awesome! Oh How He Loves!!!! whhhoooo hoooo!! YAY !! GOD IS GOOD!! That’s so amazing! WOW! WOW in the highest! Glory!! Thank you for sharing what God put on your heart!!! I love the part about it isn’t about you and how all of the children are HIS. Love IT!!!! What a wonderful fundraiser idea and awesome story of God’s sovereign provision through His body! I love it!! I know that journey of humility and trust. It is sooo hard but so sweet because you just KNOW God is doing something beyond your ability or imagination—He is sooo good! Thank you–praying for you!  7 more days…really 6.5 until our court date. (Just so some of you who know the process well aren’t worried about me in case we don’t pass the first time—really…I. Will. Be. Okay. Really! I am just remaining hopeful that we WILL! Sooooo…6.5 more days until Almaz represents us in court and when we know […] The day that you read the sparrow story and how your heart was aching and to see how the sparrow is sent from a friend as a messenger to you and your family that He is with you all through each and every moment ! What exciting times and how loved that little man,Isaac is going to be by his siblings and parents ! In tears…so thankful for our friendship. Of course I knew about the sparrow 😉 Ok…ok…I can’t take credit for that but when I opened the drawer and pulled out that card I smiled. I have always loved birds. And it seemed to fit. Now I know why 🙂 Hope you will both have MANY nights of snuggles under the blanket!! Jenn Love it all. And that is just like Elle J, LOVE HER TO BITS. Got my calendar marked for your court date. Praying already. Smiles, Loves, and Hugs to you and your sweet family. =) While I may not be currently called to adopt, I know I am called to pray and help in ways that I can. To say I have learned SO MUCH from all of the adoption momma’s (you, Cris, Dash’s Momma, Kristi) is a huge understatement. BLESSED beyond measure for the volumes of smiles and learning I receive from your examples. Praying for all, My Sweet Friend!!! God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea…The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.” Psalm 46:1-2,7 It was the coolest time of […] wow-wow-wow….. beautiful. oh andrea – I write this with tears running down my face.

LOVE this! And so true, you can expect the unexpected for sure! Some of the most generous donations have been from people I barely know.
Hey, I was wondering about the fellowship…we need to have an event soon. It would be neat to hang out with other people around the Atlanta area that have the same heart for orphans as we do. We could meet at a park and have pot luck dinner. I know you have a lot on your plate, but maybe we can start thinking about it. Thanks for reminding me! So glad to be on this journey with you!
Oh my goodness, I am in tears, thank you so much for sharing that! We have just now started our adoption process…application approved with AGCI on thursday…and that was so good for me to read! I know that my blog friends are going to be so special to me…they already are…they are the ones that God used to inspire me to adopt!! I am so thankful!!!
so beautiful! you’re so right… it’s not for the faint of heart! i don’t know what i’d do without all my adoption buddies… you all are the greatest!
Thank you for the encouragement as we are just beginning the journey! Love the quilt….how beautiful~ Happy Mother’s Day!
