Category Archives: Journey of the Magi Today–we begin our traditional after Christmas journey…(you can begin this ANY time after Christmas!) The Journey of the Magi… Day 1. Matthew 2:1-2 “After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king […]  SOOO…if you have a bucket list—I think everyone needs “attended an airport home-coming for someone I loved” on it. It is a slice of heaven seeing an orphan no more–a child come into a family…and to HEAR the cheers of friends and family who have held your hand through the process…cried with you when delays […] Love seeing children come home, but have never been to a homecoming…..now that is on my list!!!!!! Oh my goodness, LOVE the pictures of Charles Tucker coming home!! Have loved following their adoption journey!!! Happy New Year to ya’ll!! oh this is precious! SO cool that there are that many people around you adopting now. Definitely a work of the Lord as He’s used you in so many people’s lives! LOVE the kids’ outfits too! 🙂  I know…I know–I usually only post once a day–but things are crazy exciting here!!! If you missed the “It’s a Girl Thing” update I posted earlier today…OH MY–you MUST read!!! AMAZING! Now…our Day 6 Journey with the Magi. We read Matthew 2:11b “Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense […] Beautiful photos of your special day. I noticed the mural on the airport wall in the background – even the mural looks like it is celebrating the amazing Homecoming!! YEA! wow- you would think I wouldn’t have to cry at just seeing the pics of the homecomings….but it is just so precious- and amazing- HE is amazing! And I know we made the connection with Melissa but I didn’t realize y’all were so close!! I think I told you but we went to Briarwood together and I’ve just recently re-connected with her on FB and been following her adoption…I so wish we lived in ATL and could be there tonight- I can’t wait to read your post on it! WOW!!! What an amazing homecoming!! So glad they are home! Have loved following their journey!!  This mom has been doing A LOT of processing lately–and I wish I could even put into words half of what is going on in my mind and heart. I have heard the holidays does something quite emotional in adoptive moms hearts–and I can’t say those who have gone before me didn’t warn me…but it […] Girl, you could SO be a homeschooling mama!!! 🙂 Love your journey with Magi!!! Love it when God uses our children to teach us :). Can’t wait to see Isaac walk- all rooting for him here!!!! I just have to say you could sooo teach your children at home!!! You are very creative! You LOVE spending time with your kids! Thanks so much for your blog! Love it! I’ve never posted a comment, but couldn’t resist combining 2 parts of this post…archaeology with cookies…last year we made choc. chip cookies and “excavated” the chips with toothpicks for tools. Fun and delicious!  Tonight was our 4th night in our Journey with the Magi. We read Matthew 2:3-10 about when word spread to King Herod about the Magi’s unbelievable journey…”When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he […] Love the insight on the Magi…..making me think a lot…a good thing. So glad your sister & hubby are there and digging in on what God has for them! 🙂 Can’t wait to see and hear more. i love that your sharing this journey with the magi with us because I would love to do this with Isaac when he is older! |

So excited to start this today with my children (7, 7, 7, 4, and our little one due in March will be listening from the womb!) :0)
Hey Girl,
Have you ever seen the documentary titled, The Star of Bethlehem? It would be over your little kid’s head but if you haven’t seen it, you need to. It teaches so much about the miracle of the star from an astronomy perspective.
I love your idea of following the magi and I will strive to take my kids on this journey as well. Thank you for inspiring us!
Merry Christmas friend 🙂

Love this idea!!! It’s all the fun of elf on the shelf but with some depth and truth to it. Going to set out my magi now.
Oh what a lovely idea! We always keep our decorations up until twelfth night (Epiphany) here.
