Author Archives: admin One of my mommy mentors shared this pearl of godly wisdom with me—and it is a must share. I think there is such value in having mommy mentors—but it can also be hard to connect some times with one…much less several. SOOO…trust that I’ll be sharing any gems and pearls when they come my way. […] “Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.” My heart sings today an old worship song from my first years of walking with Christ… Sing unto the Lord a new song. Sing unto the Lord all the earth. Sing unto the Lord a new song. Sing unto the Lord…all […] I know you are excited- money raised & new pics to boot! Soooo excited for you!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise God he will be in your arms- soon!!! WE are praying!!!!!!!!! I got your message today!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 Loved it! I left my phone at home all afternoon. Singing praises from Hong Kong!  So many blessings to share today! And I just have to share…I want Isaac to one day see God’s fingerprints ALL over this entire journey! YOU ARE LOVED ISAAC! On Friday, we posted a cupcake fundraiser to help fund our Ethiopia trip. I contemplating selling t-shirts and emailed a few places…told them I needed to […] I am always in awe of God’s provision. He wants his children brought to families, no question about it. I love all the cute gifts. So sweet. Beautiful gifts! Praise God for wonderful friends. Wow! That is so sweet! God really knows our heart. He knows just what we need & it’s amazing He allowed you to see the connected dots! We serve an amazing God! Oh Andrea…I love reading your heart. I tell everyone in fundraising that every step of it has great purpose…not just to get our little ones. Love you sista! This morning in worship–the final song was “It is well with my Soul.” Glory be to God! This song—melts me. ABSOLUTE…MELT. I forget the world–those around me…and anything that may be burdening my heart. This hymn reminds me—that NO MATTER WHAT…His ways are higher than mine—and as I seek His face and surrender to HIS […] It has been such a joy to watch HIS story come alive in your family! Many blessings to you and your family! Oh Girl … I cannot sing (or listen) to that song without a flood of tears! I am struggling with this idea Andrea…asking and praying EACH.AND.EVERY.DAY for contentment where we are. What a beautiful post of encouragement to read. THANK YOU 🙂 Jenn Such a true to life post. I agree with Jenn, it is a daily struggle. It’s so true that it is HIS story, you hit that right on! This convicts me every.single.time I hear his story. Do I trust that God is enough, even when the storm rages, even when things are going well? Thanks for this amazing reminder that my soul should find rest in HIM alone! Much Love…. In just 24 hours God has blown our socks off…and 1/2 of our travel expenses have been raised to bring our cupcake home! *IF* we are able to use our Delta SkyMiles (praying that works with the dates we will be required to fly)…then the SkyMiles would cover the OTHER half of our expenses! As […] Keep an eye on your mailbox OR doorstep this week (wink). Always in my thoughts and prayers, Andrea. andrea – that is amazing! Our God is awe-inspiring!!! Praise the Lord for His continued faithfulness!!! Praying, praying, praying about the skymiles!!!!! Oh, Yay Andrea! He funds what He favors and He so favors the orphan. My heart is happy is for but is drawn further to worship Him. Sweetness. |

What an awesome idea! I had a friend do this for my husband and I. We were going through some tough times with our adoption. She had been praying scriptures over us and gave them to me on index cards just to let me know. She punched a whole in each corner and tied them together with ribbon. I keep them on my nightstand so that when I feel worried I can look at the scriptures and remember.
oohhhh…I love this! Getting myself some spiral notecards today! Also, thought you might like to know that our pantry door is completely covered in chalkboard paint. Months ago I drew Africa on the board and hearts for places and people we’re praying for. Our sponsored children in Swaziland, Katie Davis in Uganda, Wiphan, Hannah’s Hope and now sweet Isaac is up there right next to Hannah’s Hope. Every time we get into the pantry (which is often:)) there’s a little blue heart there reminding us to send up some prayers for your baby Isaac. Praying him home SOON! Shannon
First things first for me in the morning. Grab my hot cocoa (not a coffee drinker) and head to my laptop before the kids get up. Sad face when your blog hasn’t been updated (keep checking back) and then happy face when there is new info to learn!!! Brilliant idea ~ I am so doing this (one for me/hubby too) ~ and my kids are old enough to read their book left behind on their nightstand. Happy Day to You!
Okay … this is like an early Mothers Day gift for me. I am heading out first thing in the a.m. to buy my notebooks (one for my hubby too). I just LOVE it!
Thank you for all the ways you continue to bless my days!
Praying for that court date!
Love & Blessings from Hong Kong,

Great advice! I am in the middle of several books that discuss this idea. Recently the importance of praying for my family has been on my heart a lot. Thanks for sharing.
I love praying scripture for my babies already (even without their sweet faces) but I LOVE the idea of having a book to remember what you prayed for each child at specific times! Thanks for sharing!
I LOVE this idea!!!! I will be doing this for all 5 of my girls, love-love-love it. 🙂
I love the idea of putting these in a notebook. We’ve used the book “Praying the Scriptures for your Children” by Jodie Berndt too.
Oh, absolutely love this idea! We all need more of that in our lives here. 🙂 Praying for your court date! 🙂
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS!!! I made a great little journal like this once and put lots of ribbons tied to the spirals! 🙂
What an amazing idea!!!! I am going to do one for each of us!!!
Happy Tuesday!
Precious ! Isaac’s Psalm 91 is so true for he is being protected and will be with you all soon ! Did you see my idea of the Prayers Angels for your Isaac?
Love this idea! Funny God’s timing. A couple of weeks ago I really felt prodded to get some spiraled index cards. I knew I needed to get some Scriptures written down on them again. Then I pulled up your post today and Voila! Now I know exactly what God wants me to do with them…(side note: One of the words He gave me for 2010 was that it was going to be a “passage” year…a year of going through to the other side, and a year of Scripture passages to do it.) This just all fits together and I’m very excited to write in mine tonight! Thank you!!–Rory
LOVE IT! I can’t wait to get to the store tomorrow and get started on them!! Such a wonderful way to pray for our children and what a story it will tell in time!! My husband also started a journal for each of our kids when they were born and write in it every so often and he hopes to give it to them when they move out and I write and seal a letter to each of our kids on their birthday and have them tucked away in their keepsake buckets to open one day. I hope they will treasure these little things!!
Oh WOW…. this is GOOD stuff! I LOVE it! I love that you use pics on the front. I am definitely going to be investing in some of these booklets. Thank you for sharing! I’m always encouraged when I come to your blog:)
thank you so much for that idea- i love it! Praying for that court date!
This is the BEST idea — LOVE it!!! Thanks for sharing…
I love love love this idea…if I could just get the rest of the things checked off my to-do list, I could get started! 🙂
I love this idea. I got mine yesterday and started last night. I thought I would also do one for my husband and I. We both picked two verses for the month and wrote them down. It was neat to see what we both picked for us to pray about for our marriage.
