Author Archives: admin Remember Toby? If not—I first shared about him here. And we unveiled where that little stinker stuck off to here. Yep, give our family a class pet to take care and see what we do?! We send him into the mission field;). I so think of Zambia though as our other home…where part of our […]  CRAFT TIME!!! OK…here’s your craft inspiration for the week…Easter Garland… OK…just had to make that image BIG…because I LOVE THAT PICTURE of one of our Zambian girlies! The garland doesn’t touch her cuteness…BUT if you want to make the egg garland… 1. Create holes in both ends of an egg using a sharp object (I […] Reading about your browsing through that store made me tear up – only because I’ve so been there! I feel the same. That overall I’m doing great, but I have my days where that’s all I can think about! And I feel guilty as my Lil Man is running around playing so patiently without me as I’m browsing blogs and bawling reading about mommies finally holding their sweet ones in their arms after their long wait. It can be. So. Hard. I hear ya. ohhh girl…i need to tell my sister about that egg craft…she has little ones that I think would like doing it! Your seriously so crafty and creative! Love all your ideas! :0) Andrea, I love the craft. So cute. I also feel your longing for Issac. You know I can relate. I feel like I am Elijah’s Mommy, so I should have him now. I don’t even know what he looks like, smells like or feels like, but I know I am his and he is mine. One day…some day…hopefully soon. Wish I could give you a big warm hug and sit down with you and have coffee and chat. That would distract your waiting heart. 😉 My 6 yr old reminded me of his favorite song this morning. Our God is an AWESOME God! He reigns from heaven above, with wisdom, power and love our God is an AWESOME God. Always lean on Him and you will find the comfort you need. Hugs today! ♥ P.S. If I ever get to your house I’m stealing that big ‘ole picture over your fireplace!!!! It’s to die for!!! ♥♥♥♥ Great post! Yes, this waiting journey is full of ups and downs. I posted about my down and back up journey last Friday:-) I also did a Wiphan shout out yesterday. Blessings! Love the craft but the portrait over the fireplace is beyond FABULOUS! WOW! Yes, I’m still here. You described how I feel, only I have no little ones to help distract me at home. I wish I did. 🙁 BUT I do have work, hubby, church, & all the little ones there to help. Sometimes it’s hard though when I’m home alone & the house is too quiet with nothing to do but think…….. Thanks for this encouragement. ***PAUSE MUSIC BEFORE WATCHING!*** And as always…feel free to share. Watched this last week. 🙂 Listened to a podcast sermon today from David Platt on topics such as WIPHAN. Got the link from Katie’s blog, kissesfromkatie. Incredible sermon. Just wanted you to know how much I’m looking forward to being a part of and participating with WIPHAN! ♥ WOW Andrea! This is so beautifully done. It is such a wonderful concept, and it is so cool to see how God weaved it all together. I am in such awe of your family! Praising God for your ministry and praying for it! Just beautiful! We bought five t-shirts last night and can’t wait to get them. This is so inspiring. We would love to become more involved. Praise God for the work He is doing!  As most of you know by now, my family is involved with a sweet ministry in Zambia called Wiphan Care Ministries. Many more of these to follow…and God bless all of you who shared Wiphan last week on your blogs, on Facebook and word-of-mouth. We got lots of kiddos sponsored last week! Praise Jesus! AND […] Love, love your comments on talking to your kids about scripture. It is a good reminder to me that I do not have to DO anything fancy…just talk continually about the truth! A mentor of mine always says, “You cannot shephard your child’s hear if you are not WITH them!” Just BEING with our kids ALL the time, SPEAKING of His truths and answering thier 5 million questions, then PRAYING the Lord will grow those little seds in their hearts! That being said, I still want you to publish a book (if you got my crazy email 🙂  K–I feel like I had a lot to say…but little time…so I’m all over the place. Once again…bear with me;) I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my hubby’s return from Africa…hence no bloggin’…and just chillin’ with the fam. I’ve also been playing with a video editing program—so hang tight…really fun videos to come all next week about […] Have I told you yet that your blog is like food for my soul?!

You can trust my surprises with all my kids taggin’ along are never simple. I was made to […] […] to his favor. Like–the nervous energy has turned productive…like when I built him that flower garden when he was in Africa in March. But MY how the Lord has even taught me things through that. I would […] […] by side mean. The flowers in my garden were planted when Richard was in Africa in March of 2010. You can read about it here.

Your mommy snacks are amazing!!!! You must be ‘the cool mom’ to all the kids around. Love Toby’s video and the story of the boys at WIPHAN brought tears to my eyes…. yet again. I can see and hear these boys in my heart. Sponsoring a child seems like so little that can be done. I’m spreading the word about the blanket ministry (Addie sent me some goodies) and I’m off to buy a blanket!!! Much love to you! Hope your ‘accident’ is healed quickly. We’ll be praying for healing. ♥
Love your posts….they make me think & smile at the same time 🙂
