Category Archives: Day in the Life Rich’s sweet sister, Aunt Reid, came up to enjoy Parker’s games with us. She lives in the city–and she’s a school teacher so we love getting her on the weekends, holidays and summers. AND she loves my babies! And they love her right back…Seriously–is he not the cutest thing you have ever seen?! I couldn’t […]  Sooo—tomorrow is SATURDAY…which means sports at our house. P-man has a baseball game. THEN he has his soccer game–what he has been calling his “championship game” because it’s the last one of the session. {I’ll go ahead and say forgive any typos in this entry b/c things are a bit blurry tonight…which means although the […] Oh Andrea. Love your sweet heart during this difficult season. I’m challenged by your perspective and encouraged that those who “suffer with Him…might also be glorified with Him.” -Rom. 8:17. Praying for you tonight! “Fish out of water” is the perfect way to put it. I love this post. Thank you for this. I love you. Sweet friend, you are SUCH an encouragement! I know the Lord will bless your devotion to Him in this challenging season. I don’t know if you saw our blog, but we are starting another adoption…so I know there are definitely challenging days ahead (even though the current ones feel hard enough!) But when we know it is all for HIS glory, it makes it all so worth it. I was going to put my big kids in school next year to make things easier on me, but the Lord reminded me as well that they are home for a reason, and He has called me to teach them. SO, we continue on, one day at a time… =) I love this post! You ARE sharing in His sufferings, and I know that He is using you for His glory! I only know you through the blog world, but you do an amazing job suffering gracefully, boasting in Him, and encouraging others through your cheerful spirit. How I would love to have coffee with you! You are one of those Mums that I would love to sit down with and chat. I can so relate to so much of what you have written here and continue to pray for you and your health. I have also had health issues over the last nine years which have forced me slow down, (at 30 ovarian cancer was discovered whilst being pregnant and then Hashimotos disease just 6 months after that.) I have had achy joints too although I must admit that since moving from my home, (UK) to North Carolina, I am feeling a huge difference. I am also gluten free now and have really enjoyed reading about your health changes because they inspire me to keep on. I love your heart and your desire to praise Jesus in the midst of your sufferings. He is being glorified through you Andrea! ‘But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, makes you perfect.’ 1 Peter 5:10 May He continue that which He has begun in you!!! love Noami To hear your heart Andrea speak is beautiful. You are being prayed for and will not betray you. You know that and it is clear you are a dear one in His Army. So many medical people in my family…I just am sad that some days are extra hard for you. If you are on any Field trip over this way by Emory…please call me. I would love to have all of you over. By the look of your cupcakes God is smiling saying,”My,My, that Andrea is both precious and strong” how creative you are and know that we all want for you endurance to get better. Hugs and Pax,m Yet another beautiful & timely reminder. Thank you … once again … for sharing AND teaching! Your pouring out … fills me up!  When your name is Frankie-baby…you absolutely celebrate half birthdays. We are always looking for reasons to celebrate at our house–so half birthdays provide a good reason. And the children totally think they are legit. Frank was so excited ALL day–and the other children gave him special privileges (getting out of van first, picking the first […] I dont know why…but I get a feeling that Tetyana will have someone advocate for her. Its like the Lord is telling me that someone will make her a part of their forever family. I dont know if it is you,or someone close to you, but I cant shake the feeling. hahaha – I thought your tea light candle was a marshmallow!! I say, keep the tradition – your kids will love the memory and who knows how far down in generations it will be passed. =) Excited for you all and Tetyana. What a great summer this will be. I love the half birthday idea! You’re a wonderful mom and an inspiration to me!  And this is how we roll… {our weekend in pictures} Friday night girls slumber party at our house. No pics for proof…but we did watch KungFu Panda too–which I may have embarrassed Laney during because I boohooed at the end. Such a BEAUTIFUL ending…to a really hard adoption story. I’ve never held my breath so […] thanks for entertaining us all weekend, friend!! ♥  We’ve gotta BIG day tomorrow–so this will be SHORT an sweet–but this miracle MUST be documented. First–I want to thank you guys who have already started praying for the sweet 15 year old who is coming to the Young house this summer. Second–if you shared my blog about New Horizons with others–thank you. I have […] |
