I am hopeful. Hopeful for many AMAZING things to happen in 2010. Hopeful that in 2010 I can pour more passionately into my children…that they will feel more loved in the year ahead…that they will thrive in that love…and that I will know them more–and they will know me more. Isn’t that what we really […]
The Young Family Farm »
Author Archives: adminThis video is just precious. It aired on CBS last week—a special on adoption and foster care. It makes me want to ALWAYS be open to growing our family…SERIOUSLY…how SHORT are OUR lives?! How can we make the BIGGEST impact on another while we are here…for this VERY short time! My heart longs to one […] We watched this the other night.. it was GOOD, GOOD, GOOD! Hey Andrea, I posted this video on my blog tonight. Thanks for sharing! Very neat story! I enjoyed talking to you on the phone tonight! Thanks for the encouragement to keep going!  Okay…I just have to say this is what the center of my handprint looks like from our most recent craft! What do you think? Is it a stretch??? Or do you see it too??? And since Ethiopia is located in the horn of Africa…of course this is what I made out the blank spot on […] definitely AFRICA 🙂 I so see it 🙂 Rmember my snow cone “africa”..it happened when we passed court…God has a sense of humor 🙂 kj I think it looks like the horn of Africa!!! I too am really looking forward to HH moving and I really hope referrals start moving again soon! I think the wait would be much easier if things were at least moving some! We’ve picked out a name, but we want to wait and hear his name before officially deciding on a name. I see it! I soooo understand! I was biting a chip recently and when I looked at it, all I saw was the shape of India!!! lol:-) Thank you girls for validating my perception there! Yes, Kristi…I LOVED your snow cone Africa story! Oh Jennifer…I would have loved to see your India chip:) I am so sad that I didn’t take a picture!!! I saw it, thought, “I’m nuts”, put it in my mouth and ate it. Took another bite…that one looked nothing like India, and realized I really missed a photo op, cuz it was India my friends…ya’ all Southern gals get it! So glad to know that I am not alone:-) I am with you it definitely looks like Africa! I too am very excited to see the movement that 2010 will bring.  Ahhhh…the unveiling of my newest and (to-date so far!) my most favorite family craft yet! But before I share—a bit of history. Richard’s family lives in Columbia, TN which we love going often to visit, relax and let the kids run free (much different than living in the city). Columbia is a special place to […] Love the craft! We have a pooh bear poster that Abigail received as a gift. Of course now she is getting almost too tall for it!!! I totally see the heart in the hand print! And I love that plaque too- very cute! Merry Christmas 🙂 I think you are amazing …wonderful and filled with the spirit ! I have an idea for the growth chart..a small pic ..mod podged next to measurement…it will be forever a charm…and ever changing ! May Christ be with you . sooooo cute…LOVE this idea…totally am going to steal it 🙂 kj OK…I was thinking my palm looked like the horn of Africa…just the top part right where Ethiopia is!!! You have to look again?! Ok, do you see it?! Or…am I looking to hard;) i LOVE this idea! thanks for sharing…and letting us steal it! thanks for letting us steal this idea:) me and the boys are working on it now!! VERY excited about the final product!!! Andrea–a friend of mine here who i introduced to your blog (who is waiting on their little girl from Ethiopia right now), saw this and copied it. She told me about it and i can copying it too! It is perfect for people like us who know we will not live in this apartment forever. We actually used 2 smaller boards and put a hinge on them so that when we move we can fold it in half and take it with us. I can’t wait to share it with other pengyous here…i may start doing them for baby shower gift or housewarming gifts for friends. Thanks for sharing your crafts and your heart! […] last night…the night before school started. (Some of you may remember when we started the tradition here on Christmas! SO…I guess we now measure everyone on Christmas day and on the first day of school;). It was […]  As I sit in my home this Christmas Day enjoying the sound of my children running around celebrating their new toys, time with family and full bellies, I want to remember our widows and orphans in Zambia…as well as all the orphans and widows of the world. How can we live differently in 2010 with […] |

I’m in. Was thinking about it anyway (just wrapping up my last “Bible in… ahem… 3 years”) and was going to restart chronologically! This will keep me accountable as well… so thank you! 🙂
Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family.
Nikki in Colorado
I am in!
Blessings,

Yay! Bring on the accountability!!!! I need it!!!
I’m not sure if I have ever actually commented before…eek sorry about that, I hate lurkers, but I have been reading your blog for a month or so, my husband and I are also adopting from ET through AGCI, we are doing our homestudy and dossier right now. ANYWAYS I am SOOOO in! My husband and I are doing it together but I need more accountability then just him, he’s too easy to sweet talk :). really excited!
Yay! I’m in! Are you going to post the whole years reading at the beginning, and then post each night the next days reading? I’d like to have it ahead of time in case I can’t check into your blog. Thanks for this challenge. I hope that I can accomplish it!
That is crazy….I have already been thinking about this….did it this last year in well- not 90 days more like 120, but wanted to do it again- for the year. I am IN! I NEED SOME HOPE RIGHT NOW!!!
Haha! I love that picture! Frank is so awesome, and Parker & Laney have the exact same smile here. I got to talk to Parker earlier – he is great to talk to. I felt like I was chatting with an old pal. I love you, Andrea. I think about you a lot. Come see me. xoxo
Your sis,
KT
I wanna join! I am scared that I will forget or get lazy, but I promise to try! Hold me accountable Andrea!!!! =)
Okay Andrea…I’m guilty of reading and not commenting! I love your blog and look forward to reading each day. You are such a beautiful writer and your words so sweetly speak to my heart! Now that you’ve offered up this challenge I must speak up and say “yes” I’m in! A little scared about a little problem I have called procrastination but I’m looking forward to joining in! Thanks for the invite to all!
[…] (even though it took forever!), and this year — starting tomorrow — I’m joining my new bloggy friend Andrea and reading through the Bible again, in ONE year this time, chronologically. She will be posting […]
