“My Chains are gone, I’ve been set free..”

“My chains are gone, I’ve been set free my God my Savior has ransomed me and like a flood His mercy rains Unending love Amazing Grace The Lord has promised good to me His word my hope secures He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures” This song has rang in […]
My baby is Legally Free today!!!

My baby is LEGALLY FREE today!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 … I have no words other than God is so good and he answers prayers! . . (What that means.. we can now sign adoption agreements and will then get an adoption date!!!! Still possibly a few months away. But, we are perfectly fine waiting. :))
“This morning with you having breakfast.”

We didn’t, He did. I was thinking today about this time two years ago. It was in April. We had gotten a letter from DSS. They wanted to move G. I have wrote about how lawyers turned us down before. How the Lord sent Jim and Amy both to us right before. But, I haven’t […]
“You do you girl.”

{you do you girl.} I’ve been convicted by this phrase lately. I don’t want to raise a “you do you, girl” daughter. I’ve heard this used So many times and have been guilty of using it myself. But, recently I’ve realized.. “you do you” in its intended meaning- “don’t care what any one thinks girl […]
Heart Grown.

It’s this guys birthday week!!! 🎂 When he was 1 a psychologist told us to start early telling him he was born in our hearts. That JN was born in my belly, but he was born in our hearts. And, both equally wonderful. So that when he gets bigger there’s no day where we […]

Name Change.

I just had to pick up a prescription for G. I had to give his full name. I teared up. I don’t often have to say his full name so when I do it has always felt a little tough for me. I’ve often thought about him starting school and wondered how we’d handle changing […]
Legally Free!

And. just. like. that. When we least expected it. God changed the heart of G’s dad. He filed a motion yesterday to withdraw his appeal. The fight is over. And, we are giving every ounce of glory to God for this miracle. We are still processing just how BIG this is, but from the bottom […]
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 […]
