Category Archives: Adoption Milestone After a crazy week…thought I’d keep it light and share one thing my heart LOVES. Vinyl. I just love quotes, numbers, pictures…that can be put on the walls—and then just as easily taken down. It’s no loss…and a lot of fun to change things up. I already have things like this all over my house. […] My hubby and “Toby the dog” are officially home from Zambia! And boy do THEY have stories to tell…stories, videos, slideshows all to come—but for now…we are ALL crashing at nap time after a long, hard week on both the home front and the mission field! GOD IS SOOOO GOOD! Can you imagine our car […] Pictures, please, of your new garden … ya know, in your extra free time. =) Glad your hubby and Toby are home safely and looking forward to reading about their adventures. Now ~ sweet dreams! WHAT….no pictures?!?! Even iPhone pics will do:-) YAY! Glad they are home. Yep it’s official…you’ve lost your mind 🙂 Just kidding…I always get involved in crazy projects when my hubby is gone! Glad the reinforcements have landed though! Just where does all this energy and creativity come from?!:) Can’t wait to see photos. You know – I sooo wish we lived closer to each other…I think we could have a lot of fun being insane together 🙂 I want to see pictures of this flower garden!!! Man, I WISH I had your energy! Pictures please! so glad that they both made it home safely! Can’t wait to see pics and hear more about your trip. And I do not think that you are crazy – that is just the sort of thing that I would do! Yeah for the flower garden! Love in bloom! How awesome! Glad they are home safely! Anxious for pictures!!!!! 🙂 You crack me up! 1 am?! At Walmart at 12am?! LOL. […] part of our heart is with our widows and orphans. I shared a little bit more about ole Toby here and promised for more details on his trip. Well…enough from me […]  My friend Addie really should have a blog. Really. She should. BUT I get to learn things about mommyhood with her…and while I waste time updating my blog…she is really getting all the insight and I get to hang out with her and contemplate that good stuff with her. WELLLL…we planned a playdate for Monday […] I love that quote! Praying for God’s guidance for all families!!!! andrea – I completely agree! I am oddly peaceful (not a quality that most people would use to describe me) and excited about the ethiopian changes. God knew of these changes before we fell in love with ethiopian and its children, and now we will have the opportunity to travel to that beautiful country twice! My husband and I love to travel internationally, but have not since the three kiddos came along – now we get to do it twice! YEAH!!! and we get to meet our daughter weeks before we would have! Thank you again for your encouraging, uplifting blog – wish we lived closer:) Praying for you all (and for us as we hope to start the process)… and I’m now only 2 days behind in the reading… catching up! Addie gets a gold star for such a clean house display when she did not know that her BFF was going to be taking pix when she wasn’t home and posting to the world!! =) We all need THAT Addie in our life. =) YAY for God Moments and YAY for recognizing God Moments. Your post made me smile. Awesome playroom! Tell Addie we love it!!! 🙂 And remember God has you right where He wants you! Enjoy the ride girlfriend! 🙂 AMEN sister!!!!!!!! Wow..changes to Ethiopia! Sounds like you are handling it all with such grace! I am thinking of going to India if we don’t make it b/f the court break. I’ll make my own 2 trip “requirement”…LOL! Love your pictures…your post just made me smile! Jenny Wow..changes to Ethiopia! Sounds like you are handling it all with such grace! I am thinking of going to India if we don’t make it b/f the court break. I’ll make my own 2 trip “requirement”…LOL! Love your pictures…your post just made me smile! Jenny Love your friend’s place and pillow. I also love the idea that you might get picked up by Hobby Lobby 🙂 You crack me up. I wish we lived closer because I totally could have used some of your cheer last week. However, your prayers have really helped. God has uplifted me and I am so thankful. I too see the bright side of this new news and I am okay with it. We are all in this for the right reasons and He will bring it to completion in His time. I just had to check out your blog this evening after being on the same conference call earlier today. I knew you would have an awesome perspective about the changes and would blog about it. I am feeling the same way and want to comment with a big “AMEN!” You put everything into words so beautifully. I know God is writing my story too! Blessings to you and your family! Thanks, Andrea. I certainly needed to be reminded today to give Him praise in ALL things! You are amazing! K Love your perspective. Praying for you and all of the families (and precious children) in the process!. Where do I start?! I just “happen” to find your blog online. We received our referral exactly 1 week ago with AGCI. The new information was surprising, but the peace of God is interesting isn’t it? I can’t figure out how I feel so calm and even excited about meeting my 2 little girls so soon – God’s grace and plan are amazing!! I didn’t know there was a way to connect with other AGCI people. I would love to know to how – please do tell! Blessings, Kimberly  If you missed yesterday’s post, check it out and join us in helping refer readers to our Wiphan site! SO FAR…the top 3 winners in the running for the MOST visitors for our new fun TEE are… 1. www.weloveourlucy.blogspot.com 2. http://shannonholden.com/blog/ (who just wrote a MUST read on her blog about her experience sponsoring Fostina!) […] This is fabulous ! Shockley was apart of the MLK 25 commemorative anniversary this past year. I look forward to sharing this with my family. No blog…put Wiphan on my facebook…hopefully, it will expose more people. Still not sure how all this works…but.My King does ! and He will put the right hearts on this…I am hoping our family considers sponsoring a child as their Easter gift to Christ. Is there any specific name or connection that is made through this? AMEN SISTER … THAT’S MY KING! I love that video clip and speech! I think this is something I will challenge my daughter to do! She is graduating this year from high school. In just a few short months…. in those same few months I’ll look forward to celebrating your referral! 🙂 And…. how exciting that you are traveling in May!!!! I sent you an e-mail! Hurry up girl and get back to me! This is killing me!!! LOL Praising God for your numbers today! Congratulations! Yay! I like the numbers, seems there has been some movement! I still need to post about wiphan, but I will! Hey! I’ve always loved That’s My King! They did it at a Beth Moore conference while everyone was just waiting…it was so cool that about halfway through the whole entire colliseum was engaged and shouting and praising along with it! It was awesome! Hope you guys are doing well! I for one am so thankful for the son! Charisa LOL…I typed son…but meant sun…but I AM thankful for the Son and the sun! 🙂 Alright done! http://www.rossientertainment.net Ok, Andrea, I have to admit that your heart preparations for an August referral are stressing me out 🙂 They are causing me to make new heart preparations…oh, how I would love to be home by Christmas…congrats on your update! K  Well…WE MADE IT! Funny story—we left Atlanta at 3pm…mini-van full of kids, sweet babysitter Caitlin, Addie and me (2 of the Wiphan wives)! Hubbys left after work at 5pm. Guess what? We arrived at the same time in Lousiville. Don’t ask;). Let’s just say Addie, Caitlin and I are all chatty Cathy’s…and we were in […] ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!! Can’t wait to hear all about it! Wish I was there to see it in person! praying for a successful weekend for your ministry! xoxo The exhibit looks so good. I would love to look at the beads but can’t find them on the website. Just let me know when you get back in town and get settled in. Wow…what a great display. Thinking of you and praying for your time. Glad you are there safely!!! See my blog post tomorrow morning … I wore the blue Wiphan Tee today! Love it and now my son wants one of his own too. =) so awesome, you rock!! 🙂 I lived in Lexington for 5 years 🙂 Tell everyone hi for me 🙂 kristi Oh how I wish I was at the conference…..and the bummer is that if I had just planned ahead it would have been so feasible for me to get there. Oh well. The Wiphan exhibit looks amazing. Can’t wait to see what all God does through this conference. Wow! It looks great Andrea! Can’t wait to hear all about it! I totally want that shirt, but my husband says I have to cool it on the shirts for a little bit! 😉 Brilliant (was they say in Hong Kong)!
