So excited!! Talking with my friend to figure out what we want to do. Thanks for offering a second retreat. Hoping to register for the March retreat tomorrow. ๐Ÿ˜€

I’m considering switching to the March retreat because my friend didn’t make it into the January retreat! WOOHOO! And, I’m totally down with being on a team to plan a retreat in another state! ๐Ÿ™‚

So excited!!!! Tried to register for the January conference and was so sad that I couldn’t come. Hopefully I will be able to get in on the march conference.

I’m excited that there’s going to be another one even though I can’t go this year…definitely looking to try for next year though…so wonderful to see God at work through all this.

I am a ‘waiting’ adoptive mom. We are hoping to travel in February or March to bring home our daughter, Lily. Therefore, I can’t make it to the March retreat and I know January is already full. I came across your blog and just wanted to connect and I hope that you might continue the retreats in the future. I would love to attend one. God is working in my heart and I am excited to be a part of this journey for Him. Do you have an e-mail distribution?
Love in Christ,
Stephanie

waiting on mei mei…

Just cleaned out Loo-bears closet. I gave away ALL Laney’s clothes up to age 3…back in the days when I thought we were done growing. Now, each time I clean out her closet…I oh so carefully fold each sweet dress–knowing the next time I open this bin, she’ll be home… Rich walked in while I […]

Focus on the WHY not the HOW

Things aren’t always what they appear to be. We are in the midst of a series at my church about the HARD sayings of Jesus. One of Jesus’s last miracles during his last week of ministry was when He cursed the fig tree. ALL of Jesus’s other miracles had been LIFE GIVING miracles. This one–He […]

Beautiful truth!

Melissa Farnsworth - September 5, 2011 - 1:26 am

I am amazed how God keeps leading me down this path. I am laying in bed and asking Him how? and then I pulled your blog up on my phone! I have had so many big neon signs flashing at me the past few days and I am unsure why I continue to question Him.

Christy - September 5, 2011 - 6:07 am

So So true… thanks for the reminder. And wow, amazing how far Isaac has come! What a cutie though from day one! ๐Ÿ™‚

We adopted our daughter, Mia, from China last summer. I am so excited for you and what God has waiting for you in China… ๐Ÿ™‚ I am going to send you a FB friend request and send a Gotcha pic too… Can’t wait for January!

It is full, isn’t it??? I tried to register this AM and it says it has reached capacity, but others seem to be having luck registering. Can someone let me know. Thanks!

Marisa Dempsey - September 1, 2011 - 4:50 pm

I follow your blog linked from our adoption agency (Christian Adoption Services). I was able to register but none of my friends did it in time. If you know anyone wanting a roommate or traveling from the Raleigh area, I would love to know! Thanks!
