The last 48 hours {a little roller coaster}

If you ask Rico Suave if he married a laid back–tough–roll with the punches girl…until this past year I’m willing to bet he would have quickly said, “You bet!” This last year though, oh my–I feel like I’m been on a bit of a roller coaster. From starting our home study last March for a […]

I think you are an awesome mom!! I really hope to love being a mom as much as you do. I went to Created for Care in March and wanted to let you know in person, but I never got around to catching you! Your posts show so much love for your children and how hard you fight to keep you heart focused on the Lord and bringing your children up in Him, too!! You’re a breath of fresh air! I pray your illness will only bring you even closer to God and that he will give you strength!! Thanks for all you do 🙂

Road to Wellness…

As I was giving my kids their daily dose of Omega 3’s…I thought back to several years ago when I didn’t do these and just didn’t know how important they were. I wish that I had known then what I know now…like those multivitamins really aren’t all what they are cracked up to be–and there […]

So, do you mix the omega 3 packets w/ something, or do the kids just swallow them?

Hi Andrea-I have been looking for something like this for the two children we are hosting from Latvia this summer. Would you mind sharing where you found this? I would appreciate it. Be blessed today. Carol

Our Time in Tennessee…

When Rico Suave has business in TN–it doesn’t take much to twist our arm for us to field trip it along. Because… Our trips to Tennessee usually consist of this… LOTS of golf cart rides with Uncle Buck and the Middlebrooks kids… This is how we spent our Wednesday. I’m surprised Uncle Buck and Aunt […]

Praying for Angie!!!!

Your trip looks like a blast — and now I want to move to Tennessee to be neighbors with those precious women!! Let’s all just buy some land and live on a big commune! haha

Just added Angie to the top of my prayer list. I was in her domestic adoption break out and God used her to speak right to my heart about birthmoms. I think about what she said often and am so thankful for her heart for birthmoms. Please keep us posted on her recovery.

I think it is so incredible that you have this net of like minded women! One of the reasons I cannot wait for C4C is to meet other mothers with the same heart that I have for orphans.

i have no words…how beautiful…

What an amazing video. It left me speechless

Oh man! That brought back the sweet memories I have of my husband taking care of me for the last 20 years of our marriage. I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and just found out 4 months ago that it was caused from Lyme disease which I’ve had for all of these years.

My husband loved me with Christ’s unconditional love and was my greatest encourager. It was my great privilege to care for him the last 4 1/2 years of his life after he was diagnosed with a terminal illness. He’s been in heaven now for 2 1/2 years tomorrow and I miss him more than I can say.

Love your spouses with all that you have. Each day you have together is a precious, precious gift.
