Just a little something…

Thanks for your patience. Not much has changed we are still waiting. I should say that the kids are LOVING school and both recently got awards for the spirit of cooperation and leadership in their classes. We were very proud!! Of course, I forgot my camera so you will just have to take my [...]

The Freedom of Christmas

I have a confession. Because of Facebook I am running into alot of people that I used to know in high school and college. This is great and I love it…but I have to say that it poses somewhat of a problem for me. You see, I am not the same person I was back [...]

From the horses mouth..

Well, it seems that my recent post will continue to a serve as a reminder to me. We got more news and you can read it for yourselves here. We are encouraged that the country has not CLOSED..but honestly, I am struggling in my faith. I am struggling to understand how this is good for [...]

Don’t Waste Your Wait..

Waiting is sort of the theme of our lives these days. Adoption is all about waiting. Emotions have run high and low and pending on the hour, we may be doing well with the wait or not doing well at all. However about 2 weeks ago, I was inspired by an article written by John [...]

Just HAD to share!

I am an avid reader but I usually have not really loved reading “theological” books. I have tried…but to no  avail. I have read the first page of C.S. Lewis’ Mere Christianity about 60 times and started to read Piper’s Desiring God about 12 and each time I put them down feeling like I need [...]

What Adoption is teaching me…(part 1)

Really, I knew this all along…but I was hoping. I am still hoping. It is hard now that there is a picture of this sweet boy…the thought of him just waiting and waiting for [...]

Just go with it…

Trippin in Egypt!

Ok so here is the skinny on our trip. First we hooked up with part of our team in Germany. We were all totally jet lagged and trying to stay awake so we hit the town of Frankfurt in full force. There were some minor lapse of judgement (as you will see in the pictures) [...]

Peace upon you!
We are home from Egypt. We are jet lagged. Trevis is sick. We are processing.
This trip to Egypt was not a vacation. We did not see the pyramids or cruise the Nile. It was a survey trip. We saw schools, flats, and met with a few ministries. The team of people that [...]

Just waiting….

We are waiting!
Waiting for a referral.
Waiting for our case manager to call.
Waiting to leave for Egypt.
Waiting for our support to come in.
Waiting for our school books to arrive.
I tell you what, I am learning to wait. I have to say that in the past, when there has been lots of waiting I have not been [...]
