Author Archives: admin As Valentine’s approaches…I am reminded of the one who persues me with an everlasting love… “I have loved you with an everlasting love and I will continue my constant love” Jeremiah 31:3 His love is forever. It is constant. It will never stop. Be still…feel His love embracing you… “The mountains may depart and the […] One Year Chronological Bible Study Key verses in today’s reading… Exodus 32:5 Aaron saw how excited the people were, so he built an altar in front of the calf. Then he announced, “Tomorrow will be a festival to the Lord!” While Moses left the Israelites for a short time (40 days and 40 nights) to […] You know, as soon as you posted about wanting to do this chronological read-through…I was in. I doubted my ability to follow through, but it was something I had wanted to do for a while but lacked the motivation. Knowing there would be others out there doing it too, and holding me accountable, was important for me. I expected it to be hard, and some days it was. But I find the more I read, the more I want to know Him. It really is food for your soul. It kind of made me chuckle when I read your confession of being worried people wouldn’t want to read it, because the same thing crossed my mind even this morning. I wondered, is anyone else even into this? Who cares though…even if no one else is following, its good for my soul and my relationship with God – it’s theraputic! I LOVE your posts!!! Thanking God you decided to follow Him and encourage others to go with you 🙂 We know from these verses that obedience to His calling always brings blessings! It is overwhelming how stubborn the Israelites were to not change their ways to God’s way…and how PATIENT the Lord is with them…constantly waiting for a change of heart. I was sad how Aaron gave such poor “wordly,for the moment pleasure ” advice…I wonder if any one ever thought on their own…”I don’t think we should be doing this”..to me..I have tried to use this kind of example of going with what is God’s way not man’s. Only through scripture can we know God’s way and through the gift of the Hoy Spirit ! I am not sure if we today are that different with our stubborness to change our ways to glorify God…but ,I am assured that His Patience is persistent and yes He gets mad but He is slow to anger and He wants us to be with Him and Love Him and spend time with Him..You, Andrea, are helping many of us to please our Lord. Thankyou.  OK people…watch out! A few days without crafts and she goes into dt’s. So…here are just a couple of fun things to fill your Valentine week with… Wrap your loved ones with a little bit of love with an easy-as-pie heart scarf! CUTE! CUTE! CUTE! For this fun project–you’ll need 3 100% wool sweaters (use […] Love the crafts…especially the bandaids 🙂 The crafts are a super-great idea! Love the scarf! Wish I had a little girl to put it on! =)  I have so much on my heart to share—and I’ll try my best to keep it focused on our Exodus reading. The Lord is showing me more and more of Himself…oh His sweet grace to reveal more of Himself to me! Daily I have a deeper, sweeter fear—a bigger, more passionate love—more awe than I […] Great post. Thank you. Needed to hear a story like this one today! Yay! I’m so glad you found your necklace! And yes, today’s reading was all about the details. He told Moses exactly what He wanted & where. It made me stop & wonder how often He is trying to give me “details” but I don’t listen b/c I am too busy & don’t slow down enough to hear His voice. I pray that I will take more time to allow Him to speak to me so I may hear His voice. GREAT story! Thank you! =) LOVE it! What a blessing, Andrea! I love the mystery behind the Lord…there’s just no complete unveiling of Him! Every day, there is more to discover…more to know…more to love of Him. Just when you think, “Ok, I get it (or maybe I think I get it),” He surprises you with a diamond necklace. Love it and love Him! Thank you for sharing your story. Great post! Thanks for your transparency! Enjoying your blog! Jenny Fantastic writing and learning today!! Thank You! […] faithfulness during my journey. After losing the necklace Richard gave me in the delivery room and finding it again months later—I am reminded again how He wants us to not only receive, but to also remember. So […] […] Maybe your memorial will be windchimes in your yard that sing…maybe it’ll be a necklace bound around your neck for others to ask about…maybe it will be a slideshow video of your […]  OK…there are lots of amazing agencies out there…but currently I’m biased;). Here is my top 5… 5. Monthly updates from your caseworker inform you of where you are currently on the “the list”…so you have a better 2 cents of how long your wait might be. Not all agencies do this…but AGCI does…and I love […] I love our agency too!!! Nothing but good things to say from my perspective. Glad you guys made it home safely. If you get a chance would you email me that pic 🙂 Thanks friend. I just stumbled on your blog from Kristy’s! I live in Illinois and we are currently waiting to bring home our little guy from Ethiopia. We are having our 5th court date in 2 days, and hopeful that we will pass! I also have three biological children (10, 8, and 4). Our little boy is 3.5 I LOVE our agency too. It is such a blessing. It was so fun to have you here for a visit. I am eager to hear more about your visit with your friend in the afternoon. I just love our agency too!!! I’m so glad that I can be a part of it!! It was so nice to meet you in person! I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful support group of faithful friends!! I can’t wait to see what wonderful blessings God has in store for all of us! So nice to meet you and share our stories. I am so blessed to have such a supportive group of friends. Oh, I can’t wait til we all get to see our sweet baby’s face. Maybe some of us will travel together!!!!! yayyy, great pics!!! My hubby walked in and saw the pics you sent, and said, “man, those are some clear pics”..I said…yea..she’s a professional 🙂 so great seeing ya AND can’t wait till next time 🙂 kristi Yeah, I just really feel there is no comparison when it comes to AGCI v. other agencies. There is no question in my mind that AGCI was the right one for us to use to build our family! Great post for me to read today! Just got the call from AGCI that our application has been approved and we scheduled our orientation call for next week. So thrilled to be on this journey too! You have such a beautiful family….can’t wait to see that new little face, SOON! 🙂 Hugs, Sarah |
