Day in the Life

  • God has us where we are for a purpose…

    We received out new waitlist number last week in perfect timing (from 28 to 26). I had been discouraged earlier in the week realizing that I was standing in a line—what felt like a long line—while there were and are approximately 145,000,000 orphans in the world. To me, the line waiting didn’t (and doesn’t) always […]

Tonight–being one of those nights that we just couldn’t resist somethings sweet […]

This year was my family–and my sister, April, hosted at her casa. So thankful both of us Alabama girls planted ourselves in the Atlanta area! Sad that my little […]
