A shirt you really NEED;)…a chicken & today’s reading

OK…I posted about Wiphan‘s new shirts yesterday…but just in case you missed it or that picture didn’t quite give you the FULL picture—here’s momma me sporting it to church this mornin’. Yep. I think you can sport this baby ANY season b/c it’s light and long sleeve—and you can dress it up or down. BETTER […]

Love it all ~ you show it all off so well, beautiful Lady! I am headed over to check out those beads and the chicken purse. I have my Wiphan Tee ~ but have a feeling I will be buying some more.

You look marvelous my friend. Love the new shirts. Hope you had a restful weekend. You were in my prayers all weekend.

Also, thanks for linking our ornaments in the post below.
Hugs,

I am so all over that chicken purse!!!!! Must support my girls! (my chicks that is!) LOL I ♥ it!!!!

That. Chicken purse. Is. Hilarious. Just about fell on the floor laughing about that one. 🙂

New Wiphan T’s & Scripture Reading {Deuteronomy 29, 30, 31}

I’m on a serious “dress for a cause” kick. I bought a really cute t-shirt last summer from the Gap that said “Change the World with what you wear”. It was a purple t—but one of their product red shirts. It really had me thinking… What if we lived in a way to change the […]

I love the idea of dressing for a cause. How about instead of perpetuating worldwide poverty by lining the pockets of sweatshop-using companies, we do the opposite and buy clothing that helps eradicate poverty? This was inspirational, I think I will try to get some more clothing where I know my money is truly helping people.

LOVE the shirts! just ordered ours 🙂

Renea - March 20, 2010 - 10:48 pm

Can’t wait to build my wardrobe with a WIPHAN shirt. 🙂 I try to wear all my adoption shirts, Africa shirts, water shirts, etc. etc. etc. everyday! 🙂 When my life keeps me so busy that I can’t stop and tell everyone with my mouth the need for service of our brothers and sisters in Christ, my shirt can! ♥

Renea - March 20, 2010 - 10:49 pm

P.S. Congratulations Kristi!!! That was a total no-brainer! LOL 🙂 She’s the advocacy queen!

Today’s Reading: Deuteronomy 26-29:1

Confession. Some times I don’t see it right. Deuteronomy is right on. And some times I just don’t interpret what the Lord says as the Lord says it. Maybe it’s not even interpretting it wrong…but my sinful flesh wants to hear it differently. Confession. Some times I fall into the sin of thinking my serving […]

WOW- a new perspective 🙂 Thank you!

You’ve just written a post that’s been stirring around in my head all week; however, you said it much more eloquently than I could have. You are such a gifted writer. Love your blog and your heart!

Renea - March 20, 2010 - 12:43 am

You know I love your ♥ and this post actually mimics what I have been battling with all day long….. it’s been a crazy CRAZY day and as much as I want to think I am ‘doing the extra’ I fail miserably at doing enough. It’s like scratching the surface of what my God expects. Demands. Oh how I want to overflow!

When things don’t make sense… {Scripture Reading Deuteronomy 16:18 – 21}

Today’s scripture reading is Deuteronomy chapters 16, 17, 18, 19 & 21. These are what you call historical chapters—so while there are still very applicable points that can be made…for the most part it’s historical and cultural writing and instruction. AND…to be honest–it just didn’t speak to my heart today. Ever have one of those […]

Your photos are awesome! I will have to copy some of your Green Traditions next year. You make life fun; you know that? Hoping your week picks ~ your message was clear to me. Thanks!

julie@Flitterbugs - March 18, 2010 - 7:16 am

I love brussel sprouts…but my hubby is NOT a fan! I’ll have to tr it out this way!

Heidi - March 18, 2010 - 8:43 am

These words I need to hear so badly this morning..one of my dear friends lost her baby at 20weeks yesterday. Please pray for her and today she has to dilver him .. I know this too will pass and good will come out of this .. I just hope she can see that someday! Thanks for your amazing words…
Your reader,
Heidi

Praying for your family. I can completely associate with the snow globe effect…..actually it hits really close to the mark for me.

Renea - March 18, 2010 - 9:31 am

you had me at hello…. then came brussel sprouts and you lost me! lol 🙂 I’ve been praying for you girlfriend! Hope today looks better for you! Much love ♥

you are such a great mom for doing all these “green” things with them for st. patricks day!

Easter Garland…and cultivating waiting on God {Deut.10,11,12}

CRAFT TIME!!! OK…here’s your craft inspiration for the week…Easter Garland… OK…just had to make that image BIG…because I LOVE THAT PICTURE of one of our Zambian girlies! The garland doesn’t touch her cuteness…BUT if you want to make the egg garland… 1. Create holes in both ends of an egg using a sharp object (I […]

Reading about your browsing through that store made me tear up – only because I’ve so been there! I feel the same. That overall I’m doing great, but I have my days where that’s all I can think about! And I feel guilty as my Lil Man is running around playing so patiently without me as I’m browsing blogs and bawling reading about mommies finally holding their sweet ones in their arms after their long wait. It can be. So. Hard. I hear ya.

april - March 16, 2010 - 1:08 am

ohhh girl…i need to tell my sister about that egg craft…she has little ones that I think would like doing it! Your seriously so crafty and creative! Love all your ideas! :0)

Amy @ Filled With Praise - March 16, 2010 - 8:57 am

Andrea, I love the craft. So cute. I also feel your longing for Issac. You know I can relate. I feel like I am Elijah’s Mommy, so I should have him now. I don’t even know what he looks like, smells like or feels like, but I know I am his and he is mine. One day…some day…hopefully soon.
Blessings,
Amy

Renea - March 16, 2010 - 9:05 am

Wish I could give you a big warm hug and sit down with you and have coffee and chat. That would distract your waiting heart. 😉 My 6 yr old reminded me of his favorite song this morning. Our God is an AWESOME God! He reigns from heaven above, with wisdom, power and love our God is an AWESOME God. Always lean on Him and you will find the comfort you need. Hugs today! ♥

Renea - March 16, 2010 - 9:06 am

P.S. If I ever get to your house I’m stealing that big ‘ole picture over your fireplace!!!! It’s to die for!!! ♥♥♥♥

Jennifer - March 16, 2010 - 10:08 am

Great post! Yes, this waiting journey is full of ups and downs. I posted about my down and back up journey last Friday:-) I also did a Wiphan shout out yesterday. Blessings!
Jenny

Kim - March 16, 2010 - 10:19 am

Love the craft but the portrait over the fireplace is beyond FABULOUS! WOW!
I know the ups, downs and distractions of the WAIT.
And I also know that God is working mightily behind the scenes!
Love & Blessings from Hong Kong,
Kim

Heather - March 17, 2010 - 6:32 am

Yes, I’m still here. You described how I feel, only I have no little ones to help distract me at home. I wish I did. 🙁 BUT I do have work, hubby, church, & all the little ones there to help. Sometimes it’s hard though when I’m home alone & the house is too quiet with nothing to do but think…….. Thanks for this encouragement.
