How to Help Someone Through the Fire

When something bad happens, you have two choices.  First, you can get angry and throw a fit.  The second choice, is to take a deep breath and realize that God has a plan, even in the mess.  My goal is to choose the latter.  It’s a lot easier to do so when you are surrounded by people shining God’s light and being His hands and feet.  We have been … [Read more...]

7 Ways You Can Support Orphans Even If You Don’t Want to Adopt

by admin 10 Comments

Happy National Adoption Month!  This cause obviously has special significance to us because we began our family through the adoption process.  I wouldn’t have it any other way!  We adopted not because that was the only way for us to have a baby, but because we felt the tug on our heart.  We knew that we had a child somewhere in the world.  We … [Read more...]

Faith. It’s important all the time, but in this Faith. It’s important all the time, but in this season of uncertainty, it feels even more important. I keep asking God to change my heart if what I want is not what he has for me, but the pull just keeps getting stronger. I am certain of what I hope for. It’s a struggle to be just as certain that He will provide it. But He is faithful even when we are not. Thank goodness!  So we will praise Him in the storm...and wait. #faith #waitingplace #godisgood #hewillprovide
