Author Archives: admin Sooo…because I knew we’d have birthday cake on Saturday for P-man…I decided to make a cookie cake for his birthday dinner. His b-day just happened to fall on Tuesday night–our regular “Dinner with the Dentons”. This November, we will be going strong with our Dinner with Dentons every Tuesday night…our commitment to community with old […] Andrea, you cannot know how God uses you in my life. Tonight we start foster care classes, and I’m scared out of my gourd! What the heck are we thinking?! WHY are we doing this again? We can’t subject our children (adopted, 9 months and 4 years old) to this!! Fear. And “coincidentally”, God brought me this post and video through you. I’ve followed you for a year, being challenged and changed by your words. Thank you for that, for sharing what the Lord has done with you so that others can be blessed. We’re not called to go overseas (we tried! God said no!) at least not now, but we ARE called to those deprived and abused and lost children of the streets of our city. Who have been hurt by those who were charged to care for them. To get messy and dirty in our perfect American life. Scares the pants off me, but I think I need that. I’m too close to the world and my personal comfort. Thank you, thank you–that video was exactly what God knew I needed! I love your encouraging words! They just fill my heart up to read them! I learned to cut my boys’ hair to save an extra $600-700 a yr to give. But this week my 7 yr old started fussing because he wanted to go to the “normal” salon “like his friends”, even though his hair looks perfect. SO as I cut his hair I began to talk about how he is sacrificing for God to help feed/clothe his older brother in Africa. We spent the entire time talking about how different his brother’s day was compared to his “privileged day”. He realized that being “different is special”, that even he can help others by making small daily sacrifices! I think it is so amazing that you are teaching your kiddos to have a heart for God. This was better than morning coffee! Thank you!!!  7 years ago TODAY… Marked one of THE most amazing days of my entire life and a pivotal day in my calling in life. I became a mom. Parker Young…our sweet little man was born. 7 years ago today… I was scared to death. Part of me wanting to run out of the hospital before […] oh andrea, this was just beautiful. You truly captured how we mothers feel when God first blesses us with our first child…how our whole world changes and we see through different lenses! Andrea, That is awesome and so true about not knowing what life is really like until we have a child of our own! I didn’t know you have 5 children and my hat is off to you girl and congratulations. Well,as they say, God never gives us more than we can handle so he must’ve known you would be a great mom. I have enjoyed reading this and looking at your pics. I hope you and your family are doing well and continue to. Thank you for sharing this and I hope to see you soon and meet your kids one day when you’re in AC. Sincerely, Leigh Happy 7th Birthday to Parker!!! Mommy successfully made it through our first week of homeschool! And today we start another day. Super excited about tomorrow because it’s SOMEBODY’S birthday in our “class”…and we all know when you homeschool that your students birthdays can look way different than in a typical classroom:). It’s going to be fun. We’ll start the morning […] Praying for miraculous healing for those little ears! Hello, So stinkin’ cute!! seriously. Love me some Young family photos!!  I asked on Facebook for a few Gotcha Pictures to use in our upcoming Created for Care slideshow. Isn’t this one just perfect for our weekend theme: He makes ALL things beautiful in His time!!! Thank you Erica Shubin for sharing this amazing picture of your most recent family day when you, your husband and […] Can’t wait…and would love to post things! Think we’ve rounded up a big Perimeter group to go…already looking so forward to refreshing and refueling! I am so excited to attend the retreat this year (as a first timer!). I look forward to your updates and can’t wait to hear all about the awesome sectionals you have planned. Thanks so much for all you do Andrea! I would be happy to share! It was the most amazing time last year, and I am looking forward to another amazing weekend! Cannot wait!! January cannot get here soon enough! (: Here’s my blog and I would love to share about the retreat online. If I’m not in Africa picking up our son, I plan to be there!!
