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 ☀️} . 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 […]
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 […]
{Big boy room} . I don’t know what it is about this milestone in particular, but I have never been so proud. It’s been about two weeks now (I didn’t want to jump the gun until I knew for sure) that G has slept in his big boy bed. He just decided in his mind […]
Let’s talk trauma. . We have come a long way. A very long way. The little boy we brought home at 8 months old stared at us in fear. He shielded his broke arm from us and wouldn’t let us feed him a bottle for hours on end. His big beautiful dark eyes were hollow. […]
Break my heart Lord for what breaks yours. I was shielded to the magnitude of G’s abuse at first. I saw what had happened, but I was excited our family was growing and the answer to a prayer we had prayed for months was here! I was also needed to help G heal, to […]
When I was really little I was infatuated with Michael Jordan. I wanted to play basketball just like him. I collected all the basketball cards I could and even a few baseball cards of his (I still have those- just waiting to get rich. 🤪) I even went to watch him play. I would pray […]
We were told in court last year before an entire room of lawyers by an opposing lawyer, “that we had one job.” Meaning we had one job to take care of him until he moved on. Partially, that was a true statement. We were to take care of him until.. (until when- we still aren’t […]
Mommas. Let them know it’s good to have muscles. Let them know we only exercise to be healthier, fitter, and to be able to run and play. Not to fit into a certain size or mold that’s on TV. Let them know that beauty comes from the heart and is kind and genuine. Let them […]
We almost didn’t go through with pictures. I had outfits for the kids all ready because our adoption was suppose to be last week. • But, then I decided I want to remember this- the disappointment, the heartache, the wait, and the peace we’ve found in it all. • I searched for people that may […]
