Author Archives: admin No new number…YET. Maybe our day is tomorrow. I don’t expect much movement though…but the Lord’s timing is ALWAYS perfect and I rest in the God of all comfort—who I am trusting to comfort my baby where ever he is! A couple of random things to share today… First, I am SO humbled and thankful […]  Wednesday’s Scripture Reading: Numbers 14-15:41 Another WOW reading today. I think I could write a book on today’s reading. I think I’m going to have to jump around and toss out my thoughts though to get it all out! So…once again–bear with:) Numbers 14 – You think your toddlers whine? Well, get this—verse 1. The […] Oh the conditions we all put on God….when in reality we have no reason to want anything other than HIS best for us. 🙂 The reading today and your words were such perfect timing! I’ve done a lot of whining this week. Not necessarily for “things” but just whiny about circumstances. Yuck! Forgive me Lord…Thy will be done! Thanks once again for making the scripture come alive! First I have to say I LOVE your picture of Laney being little mommy. I’m sure my mom would tell you that it reminds her of me when I was little, lol! I carried a baby everywhere I went.  I’m all over the place this week…and almost forgot to post this week’s reading. Are ya still with me people??? Don’t give up!!! How completely cool would it be to finish the year together?! OK…I need you people as much as you need me! Let’s spur one another on! Let us not give up on […] You make His word come alive with truth and relevance! I am a little ahead and in Joshua they blew their horns for 7 days straight …not a single word only horns…and the walls of Jericho came tumblng down ! I think I am going to wear a whistle and blow it each time sin enters my heart ! I am right their with yu on today’s reading in Numbers ! Keep it coming, Andrea ! Andrea, you have a gift. I totally agree with Kim’s comment. Thank you for blogging the Bible Study Readings. You’re doing great, Andrea! I’m a few days behind… after the heinousness of the last several weeks… but I’m catching back up… hopefully will be all caught up by the weekend. This accountability thing is WONDERFUL. If you think about it, please pray for our daughter’s test results; they should come back later today and we hope to have a better understanding of what she’s dealing with and next steps. Thanks. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!!! Kiersten is our case manager – though I’ve heard that they’re all fabulous! I’m praying for our # on Friday and have been told it’s right around 30 right now for the boys … so we’ll see! SOOO exciting though! You should get your March update soon, too, right? I can’t wait to see how much the numbers have decreased – hoping it goes fast! You have such a beautiful family!! 🙂 Needed to hear that! I’m finally caught up on readings too. And MAN Tuesday’s reading was great, I agree! I’m right there with you, looking to the left and the right wishing I had something I didn’t. And then in the next breath I’m furious at myself. Why can’t I have that? BECAUSE WE’RE ADOPTING!!! What do I want more? Some new makeup (or car, or jewlery, or clothes, or computer, ect) or my baby? Easy peasy, right? You would think! And yet I struggle with it EVERY DAY! Ugh….I make myself furious with myself. Reading 11:4-6 I was SO frustrated that they were seriously wishing to be back in Egypt! But how often have I done that? Reflect on the past because of difficult circumstances. Umm…every day maybe?!? So what’s the deal? My commentary (summerized) makes it simple. When you are no longer seeing with eyes of faith, you fail to see the big picture – the GOD picture. Keep our eyes on God and his promises.  Make the most of every opportunity…even in your crafts, let the Light of the World shine on your precious children… Because Easter is about new life—the resurrection of our Savior—I use eggs to teach my teeny ones about dying to our old selves and new life in Christ. And because He IS the Light of […] LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing. Those are awesome! Thanks for sharing. 🙂 My 6 yr old will love this! Love, love this craft! Keep’em coming! I love cute fun things that incorporated learning about our savior! […] Easter Egg Candles […]  Ok…for those of you wanting a scoop from the Adopting for Life Conference…here goes my 2 cents. If you are a believer, you are called in some way to live a life of redemption for the glory of God. Our God is a redeeming God. He heals the sick. He fathers the fatherless. He forgives […] “Set The World On Fire” by Britt Nicole. =) Thanks for all the links and sharing your heart everyday. I listen to David Platt on my podcasts and think he is an amazing pastor sharing the word of God. Plus, my study this morning included Ruth! I love when we have those little coincidences! 😉 Congratulations on an awesome seminar and experiencing God’s redeeming love all around! awesome post…I put your shirt on my blog last night…love it, kj amen sista! I only got to listen to russell moore and david platt through live stream online and not the break out sessions but those two messages alone were awesome! :0) Beautiful post written from a beautiful heart! This tied in right with our sermon this week! We have been reading through Ruth! Thank you! |

Praying for the widow and how He might use Me. (i like this).
ooohh clever complaining…I’ve never actually called it that but that’s exactly what I do! And to think God doesn’t know what’s really going on in my heart! Ha! Yes, please count me in. You know I’m praying about the widow and Wiphan. I can’t wait to hear about your meeting and how I might get involved. Congratulations on the award..you are truly deserving!
p.s. I loved Fields of the Fatherless and Red Letters. Have you read “Hole in our Gospel?” Another outstanding book!
So looking forward to hearing more about the new program!
(Just started Red Letters–loving it!)
i’ve been wanting to read that book so thanks for reminding me of it!
I too loved reading Fields of the Fatherless. Praying for how He will continue to use me in this cause! Your example keeps me motivated to do more!
Love & Blessings from Hong Kong,
Kim
I absolutely LOVED that book!!! I’m enjoying ‘The Hole…’ and another one you would love is Adopted For Life. http://www.amazon.com/Adopted-Life-Priority-Adoption-Christian/dp/1581349114/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1267817405&sr=8-1 I have the Red Letters too and need to pull it out and finish it! I get so sidetracked sometimes! LOL 🙂
Andrea, First of all, I can’t wait to hear your new numbers. I’ve enjoyed reading your blog and following the progress over the past several months. I’ve also enjoyed the crafts and photography tips.
Congratulations on your blog award. Your blog is such a blessing to so many.
