2020 was not our adoption year.
Puzzle Piece.

Today I had the strangest sensation… as G stood in the kitchen and Jared and I at the table.. ahhh out of no where a wave of a gut punch hit me. G is still a foster child. I said, “Jared, do you ever just look at him and think gah he’s still in foster […]
Book of Promises.

Joz has been struggling with migraines. She asked what I thought was wrong with her head. Talk about soul crushing for a momma for a second. Sis has had a tough week. I told her nothing absolutely nothing it was just perfect and smiled. And, I told her that she was having headaches and the […]
Vote.

{Election Day.} What a God given right we have. I voted early during one of the three days our power was out. Jared and I took turns standing in line while the other stayed in the car with our kids. I stood in line for an hour. Five people ahead of me a was a […]
Esther.

{Esther} Fun fact: This was almost JN’s name! No joke for most of my pregnancy we considered naming JN, Esther. I love the book of Esther so much. There’s such a climax that does not disappoint. Oh, how the Lord used Esther to save a whole people is just astonishing. Think about it. In her […]
Humility.

I was going through my pictures tonight and saw this. I haven’t really talked about it much. But, man I saw it and it brought back floods of emotions. This is the absolute perfect picture of foster care. This was 5:30 in the morning. G was scheduled to have tubes because his ear drum had […]

Resurrection Eggs.

I don’t deserve Jozi Noel Kelley. 🤍 . Thing about Jo is- I don’t believe she wrote that she loved God on her paper at school because it’s the poticially correct Sunday School answer. But, because she loves God. She also loves a million other things because she is her momma’s child and loves hard, […]
My sunshine.

{my sunshine ☀️} . The other night after I gave G a bath I wrapped him up in a towel like I always do. But, this time he sort of laid back and just went with it and picked him up like a baby. He giggled because I guess he even knew he was too big […]
Urgency of God.

Want to know a secret I’ve been holding on to? . A few months ago I wrote a blog post on the urgency of the Lord. I wrote the post at 7:00am the morning we were to get the call he was legally free. An hour later we would get the call saying he wasn’t […]
