Merry Christmas!

here is a sweet song my heart is singing this Christmas! It’s about a China adoption—but my heart is still singing it to our baby who we can’t WAIT to have in our arms in 2010!!! I just love this song–and to make it even more special it’s performed/sung by some dear friends of our […]

Kid fun, adult snack & Frankie-poo

KID FUN This is how we spent our day yesterday… Aren’t these two just about the cutest you’ve ever seen?! They are just 14 months apart…Irish twins…and they are bestbuds. We went to a cookie party at Aunt April’s house–and Aunt April knows how to throw a party. She had Miss Gail http://www.missgailmusic.com/ for entertainment pre-cookie […]

Christmas = Sacrifice (but does it mean the same thing in our culture?)

What does Christmas mean to you? I mean–really…what do you think of? Some things that immediately come to my mind when I think of the WORD Christmas…Jesus, lights, gifts…Christmas trees, cookies, carols…sweet time with family and friends…elves, Santa, reindeer…Macy’s, traffic, shopping. But really–what is Christmas all about to you? How we spend it–what we fill […]

3 P’s of my week—Presentation, Popcorn & a Preacher

OK–sweet readers you know I’m a writer…and writer’s usually = thinkers. And thinkers usually really think BEFORE they write…and HAVE everything flowing nicely, pieces put together…and a theme in mind before they even start. Today’s post…bear with me. Actually–why don’t you come with me instead? My mind keeps drifting to 3 different encounters I have […]

I am with you on the wanting it to be perfect, trying to interfere in the kids’ projects……that is where daddy is usually better at that than me. Never really thought of it in that perspective. Praise God for His Love even when……..life isn’t perfect!

Loved this post! The journey of adopting has really made me think about the little things in my world too. All the expectations of our culture are so “me” centered. Great points and I love how you always pull it together at the end! I love reading about “Andrea world!” Like everyone said while we were in EA, you are a great story teller! Your the best!

Gini - December 20, 2009 - 1:13 pm

Loved this post… I am struggling with the same questions–I am finding it hard to go about my everyday life without being, for lack of a better word, haunted by images and thoughts of children (and adults) who are without the basics of life, while my life is a sick abundance in comparison. This adoption Journey sure is life changing! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Up late and just read this post. It really spoke to me Andrea. You are a beautiful writer!
