On our Wiphan Care Ministries Board (http://www.wiphan.org/) I am known for having a love with thermometers. Not thermometers that tell the temperature—but thermometers that show progress toward a goal. I don’t know what it is—but they get me excited! Maybe it’s my VBS (Vacation Bible School) ole Southern Baptist past…you remember–how the leadership would post that […]

Author Archives: adminDo you ever have to say something more than once? You know, when your heart knows you WANT to say it—you want to believe it—but you are having a hard time actually doing it? OK…so this is when I get really honest…forget about who is actually reading and lay it all out there…to bring more […] I have to repeat things to my self too….usually it takes me a while – like years….to actually lay anything down at the foot of the cross. I don't know why. I have seen God's Hands at work in my life in too many numerous ways to even begin! I will be praying for you this next week as you are VERY BUSY!!! That God will give you EVERYTHING YOU NEED! Lay it at HIS feet and let us pray you through this so that your little one whom you love already can be with you soon…… OK–the video I’m about to post has nothing to do with adoption–but I feel like right now I can really identify…and I wasn’t going to post it–but for some reason I feel like I should. Something spoke to my heart about it, especially as I’ve grown very tired after all the extra sessions I’ve been working on to help […] I think this is a fantastically encouraging post. Adoption is a journey, an adventure that we promised to trust God in, and it takes perseverence and encouraging words (and lots of prayers) to continue the race as God intended. So, THANK YOU for this post- so fit for the adoption journey. I just wanted to thank you for the post! It is literally what I needed this morning right before I went to work. It has been a long journey to get to this point in our adoption and I am restles and anxious and (to be honest) getting really impatient! This was a good wake up call – this is not about me and my timing and my schedule – this is all about God and him working his perfect will in our lives. So, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you! Tara  Today I felt like I was in a movie. Are you ever doing something that just feels so meaningful and in the moment of doing it you feel like you can here the music playing as you walk…the winds blowing…cars and people are racing by…part of you wants to walk faster and let the music […] This precious post was like a WORSHIP service! That is so funny! I was doing the same thing yesterday at the TN state capitol. I seriously circled 5 times looking for a parking. I finally said a prayer and circled the next time and there was my spot. I didn't even have to parallel park. It was on the end! THANK YOU GOD! Oh and did I mention I had my baby with me. I was pushing her through the streets in her stroller…I too felt like I was in a movie because I was trying to get back to my car before the parking meter ran out. Too funny that we were doing the same thing yesterday. That post…..sounds like my life….hmmm….love it!!!!! You are almost there and I am sooo excited for you. I love the fact of NOT parallel parking (3 Blessings). My husband laughs at me- being from a suburb of England- he thinks it is crazy that my parking skills are almost a 0! He he he. Hey, I just blame it on our huge 15 passenger…and the suburban that we had before that….and the mini van before that….and the car before that….he he he…I am just not a talented at parking. The important part is you do get to have a baby soon- forever….and that will be AWESOME!!! I love this sweet post!!! I know your little one will love it too. I can't wait for you to get your approval and get on the LIST! I'm so glad that your day was so good, God is so faithful!! Oh my goodness! You have the most BEAUTIFUL heart ever!!! I just love reading about your journey! You are not only a blessing to this babe waiting for you, but to those of us that get to read about your journey. We *JUST* got our Eyes Wideopen Workbook in the mail TODAY. Yes, normally you would do this first and then start your dossier…but we’re working backwards people. The workbook is something our agency asks you to complete back before they will accept your completed home study…they actually ask you to do it before you start your home study. They […] Excited that you are getting closer. Hey that 171 page monster isn't so bad. Well….ok it is but you can do it! Glad you are almost done with a lot of other things on your list 🙂 Almost there and I can feel the excitement. From one mama to another- YEAH!!! Oh yes, the workbook. Don't rush through it if you can help it. The discussion that comes from the questions is really good. There were some chapters that took us 4-5 hours to make our way through! Worth it tho. 🙂 You are making good time!! You can do it. Slow and steady wins the race. It's exciting that you are getting closer. I know it can always seem like one more thing – but like you said – perseverance! Enjoy the workbook! Tara |
