Author Archives: admin OK…blog readers—anyone who read my post on St.Patrick’s day and saw the GREEN snacks I was sending in for P’s pre-K class….and didn’t STOP ME from sending in the Wasibi Peas…is in BIG TROUBLE!!! Sooooo…we had a couple over for dinner tonight—and they asked “Who eats wasibi peas??” because there was a full container sitting […]  Today’s reading…a must read. SO STINKIN GOOD! Joshua 3 It’s time for the Israelites to continue their journey into the land the Lord has promised them—but a very big obstacle is standing in their way…the Jordan River. Where they must cross—13 miles they must travel. What seems impossible for man—is made possible with God. Do […] You don’t know just how much I ♥ you girl! Thanks for the post. Loving reading along with you. needed to be reminded of this….I love the visual picture of the crossing of the Jordan…God can do anything and He will …that is exciting. I am daily keeping up with my bible reading…somedays are cathcing up and I am now in 2 Samuel…I loved the book of Joshua….the wasbi “green ” peas…so funny to me. Those are those mommy moments that humble us. amen!! What an awesome post about GOD’s faithfulness! :)) Not always easy. And tonight is one of those—not easy…tired of waiting…this was fun but I’m ready for my baby now moments;). Slowly we have been creaping up on on our agency’s waitlist. We are unofficially #12 on the boys list…getting much closer to single digits—and I’m just getting anxious and ready. Bare with me […] Oh Andrea, I totally understand the longing and aching heart right now. Sometimes I feel like it will consume me. I know we’ll be holding our children soon enough, but the wait is so hard. Praying that you hit single digits quickly. I can’t believe Ethiopia just added the 2nd trip! TEARS!!! But then again you have a habit of doing that to me. I think we are sharing the same heart right now because this is exactly how I feel. I have tried to explain it to others that are not in the process and they look at me like I am silly. However, the only way I can explain it is for them to think of one of their children being in another place on the other side of the world. They would stop at nothing to get to them because they long for them and want that child in their arms. That is how I feel. I know God has placed Elijah in our hearts and I want him in our home. I know you know exactly what I am talking about. Thank you for the verses. I have been focusing on those. Your words are definitely how I felt as I waited, too. Still waiting with you! Much love girlfriend! sending virtual hugs ♥ Looking forward to seeing that little face! I so understand the ache of waiting. It is harder for me than ever before. During our wait for referral, we didn’t know if it was boys, girls, or ages, so it wasn’t as hard. But, now that I know them, I can hardly stand this waiting. God is using it to refine me and realize that truly “Whom have I in heaven, but you, and besides You, I desire nothing on earth.” Ps. 73 I’m so thankful for His strength during the wait. Praying to hear of a court date today! I’m praying for you in this wait. God will not be late in keeping His promise! Andrea, that was beautifully written. You are not alone in your longing. I’m praying for your family, including your sweet one in Ethiopia today. Trying to dry my tears before my break is over at school and the kids come piling in. Andrea, would love for you to add me to your family blog. I read everyday and have missed seeing those beautiful children of yours. Saying a prayer for you & your family in the wait. Andrea, your writing is exquisite and I feel the exact same way each night when I try and close my eyes. I think of HER constantly, believing that she is already born and waiting with an eager heart to know her, hold her and love her. I would love to continue to follow your family blog. I love hearing all about your sweet family. We are richly blessed and getting so close in this adoption journey. Peace to you. 🙂 […] caring for me. And I couldn’t help but smile when I saw the verse laid on my heart written in a post before I ever knew my son’s name. I LOVE this verse for SO many reasons…and it truly applies to our weekend in more ways than […]  We love felt stories at our house—it’s a great way to teach scripture to your children…and it’s a great way for them to retell the story themselves. Often, they ask to take the stories with them–only taking a huge felt board here and there or even to their rooms for quiet time isn’t always ideal. […] I found the link to your blog on another adoption blog. What a great craft! Such a touching story about your grandfather!  OK…I posted about Wiphan‘s new shirts yesterday…but just in case you missed it or that picture didn’t quite give you the FULL picture—here’s momma me sporting it to church this mornin’. Yep. I think you can sport this baby ANY season b/c it’s light and long sleeve—and you can dress it up or down. BETTER […] Love it all ~ you show it all off so well, beautiful Lady! I am headed over to check out those beads and the chicken purse. I have my Wiphan Tee ~ but have a feeling I will be buying some more. You look marvelous my friend. Love the new shirts. Hope you had a restful weekend. You were in my prayers all weekend. Also, thanks for linking our ornaments in the post below. I am so all over that chicken purse!!!!! Must support my girls! (my chicks that is!) LOL I ♥ it!!!! That. Chicken purse. Is. Hilarious. Just about fell on the floor laughing about that one. 🙂 |

I wouldn’t have had a clue either….it’s all good- I’m brunette too 🙂 he he he he oh no…
i had no idea either…so funny, kj
that’s funny! I thought it was a little out there (I love wasabi peas and Nate has tried them before) but didn’t catch your post in time. Let’s hope Mrs. K caught it and no one tried them for the first time in class!
Long lost photog friend here that *loves* and follows your blog. I knew they’re hot (hot-hot!) and was wondering why you sent them in!
did not even think to tell you – my hubby loves them and my kids tolerate them, so I thought that maybe your fmaily liked them:)
Sorry girl! I misunderstood…for some reason I thought you said you WEREN’T bringing them for that reason! LOL…my bad!
