God of wonders…

I’ve been singing that song in my heart this week. I’m reminded again His ways are not our ways this week in such a beautiful way. The Lord has been ever present showing us a new, surprising, but beautiful path for our family. I will share soon–but there truly is nothing more sweet than saying […]

The Bond Adoption Families Share…

There is a bond that adoption families share that is almost indescribable. The journey takes years for many–and during that time you not only connect with other families also in the process…you learn terms that you’d have to define and spend forever explaining to the rest of the world… USCIS fingerprints, dossier (dah-see-aye), LID, referral, […]

So true that adoptive families connect on so many levels! Will your adoption support groups/friends be doing anything special for Adoption month in November? http://nineyearpregnancy.wordpress.com/2012/07/25/doing-something-special/

Blessings,

We had a blast. Thank you again for having us over. The fried chicken was awesome, I’m proud of you!!!

Birthdays, Created for Care…and THE REST OF THE STORY {it’s coming!}

I can’t believe it’s just the middle of August. Oh my glory. Just in AUGUST…we have seen T off, celebrated Isaac’s birthday (3 times mind you!)–and THIS weekend we celebrate Parker’s birthday. ON TOP of that craziness–we’ve officially started back to homeschool (crazy with 2 preschoolers running around)! LAST weekend’s party was for Isaac turning […]

Been following along (hooked really) and can’t wait to hear more about sweet Tetyana. 🙂

I am listening to c4c sessions from last year (love them) and stayed up late last night registering for this next retreat in jan. The breakout sessions look just amazing, thank you!!

I cannot wait to hear the rest of the story!! Strange enough I had never heard the Christy Nockels song before you posted it with pictures. Alaska always gets things late! Anyway, they started playing it on the radio seriously like the day after I read the blog. Everyday almost since then I hear it playing, and it is a wonderful reminder to pray for sweet Tatyana! God is soooo good.

Ugh, I missed registration. 🙁 For some reason I thought yesterday was only for the January conference. I was waiting for March. How do you get on a waiting list, just in case?
thanks,
amy

I am truly excited to hear this story and will certainly have my tissues ready. Thank you for your encouraging part about God always being on time. So much is going on right now and I needed to hear that this morning.

I also cannot wait for the retreat!!! Going in January!!

Oh how exciting! Your little boy is ADORABLE! My two year old saw me reading this and she kept thinking they were eating cookies…not donuts haha! Have you ever heard the song 4 days late? It’s great! Reminds me of what you have been talking about! I will keep praying for T and your family! God is GOOD ALL THE TIME!

Corinne - August 16, 2012 - 1:22 pm

I’ll be waiting with tissues in hand! Praying for Bailey!

Allison - August 16, 2012 - 3:54 pm

Oh I can’t wait to hear what the story is! Just as I type this I see out of my window a sparrow (I think that’s the kind of bird I’m seeing, anyway, a sparrow comes to mind still) sitting on the top of a post and am reminded how much God cares for each of us. “I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free, His eye is on the sparrow and I know He’s watching….”—— “T”. I had to add that last part that usually sings “me” to say “T” instead because she sang so much and became so happy while she was here as indicated in her birthday pictures. Praying for this sweet girl!

MIA for 48 {just love BIG}

Life is still ticking along–and I have such sweetness to share from the past 48 hours with princess T. Some serious sweet time. Seriously. In 5 weeks–I have gone cross-eyed many a day…practiced slow breathing to remain calm;)…and thought I might have seriously jumped in water well over my head. But folks–in the past 5 […]

Praying for your heart and that of T’s. I cannot imagine how difficult that send off will be. Joining with you in interceding for a place for her when she returns to the Ukraine. I don’t say home, because I think in both your hearts, home will always be with you.
