Six Bloggers, 1000’s of Lives Touched
My first experience with Compassion Intl. was when I was in highschool. Our family sponsored a young girl in Haiti. Now my relationship with them is more personal. It is my husband and I who are sponsoring our own child, Nikita. I can’t express how blessed I am to have her in our lives half [...]
An Amazing Realization
This was one of the best weekends I’ve had in a while. Saturday I cleaned upstairs (minus the vacuuming and dusting, which I think that dusting up there may require a vacuum **gasp**), had a date night with my awesome husband, and Sunday was lazy and then church which can be hectic. But [...]
Hard. Dry. Cracked. Breaking.
I think that we often don’t realize we are hard-hearted till it’s too late. We just go through life and our hearts grow harder and dryer. When we finally do realize that we’ve become as hard, dry, cracked as the floor of a drought ridden land it takes some major, slow watering to rejuvenate our [...]
A Saint’s Faith
Yesterday we had a family memorial service for my husband’s grandma who passed away this Spring. I listened as my family told of the impact that she had on their lives. From her giving her blessing for marriage to one of my sisters-in-law before she and my brother-in-law were even dating to my husband and [...]
Featured on Flowerdust.net
In April my husband turned me onto Anne Jackson’s blog, Flowerdust. I instantly fell in love with her. She is a phenomenal woman and has a passion for God and people. She inspires me as a speaker, writer, etc. Brad Ruggles made over her site and it premiered tonight. I was pleasantly surprised to see [...]
I'm NOT Starving
Yesterday, for the second day in a row, my wonderful husband worked a 12 hour shift. This isn’t normal for him but the pastor of the church he works at is on a deadline to get his latest book to print and Shawn needed to get some time with him for the graphic design [...]
A Foot Ahead
I found out today that I have a longitudinal peroneal tendon tear in my left foot. That means that instead of being torn like if you pull a rope it would snap in two, with my condition the strands of the tendon separate from the other strands. I’ve been having pain since the end of [...]
India On My Heart and Mind
The end of April Shawn and I sponsored a little girl in India. It is something we’d talked about doing, but never actually took the steps until we read the blog postings by the Compassion Bloggers that were in India at that time. I prayed that God would give us the girl that he wanted [...]
Remembering on 9/11
It was about a year and a half ago that some changes happened in my heart and life as well as Shawn’s. We started to see things differently.
For me it all started one night on my computer. At that time I was on MySpace and was browsing my friends pages. I started [...]
Salted Oatmeal White Chocolate Cookies (aka Yum)
I found a new cooking blog (Smitten Kitchen) a couple weeks ago and found a whole host of new recipes to try. This was the first one to hit the oven.
