Introducing our Children Of The World Puzzle Fundraiser!
We are so excited about this fundraiser. I love this picture of the children with Jesus. In communicates so many things to me.
It is Jesus who places these children in families. And it is He who brings them home.
This picture also reminds me that we are […] Read more…
Wisdom…And Questions
I used to think I knew a lot. I was confident and educated. My husband had graduated from an Ivy league graduate school. We both spoke fluent french. We both had double majored with our second majors being French, just because we enjoyed the language. I had attended La Sorbonne in Paris, and Mark, the […] Read more…
A New Name
We have sent our 1800A off to immigration and are now waiting for its return so we can send off our dossier to China. We have everything else we need, everything else that is, except the money to send it off, but we know God is making “a way in the desert and streams […] Read more…
It’s Time To Go Back
It’s time to go back to what I know works for me.
It’s time to begin again the well worn diet that has kept me well for most of my life.
As many of you know, I was very sick for a large part of my childhood. By high school, traditional medicine had nothing else to […] Read more…

I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you […] Read more…
Another Letter
It had been a long day.
The children had not been feeling well. Our teens weren’t in very good moods.
Our boys seemed to need so much more to keep them busy than I had to offer even on a good day, and home school really could have been called anything but school; the word calamity comes to […] Read more…
Just Sharing My Thoughts Today
Sometimes the needs of a large family just seem so diverse and vast that I’d like to hit a pause button somewhere just to slow things down a bit.
We had to make a few quick decisions for our oldest son, Andrew, this week. He is seventeen and in eleventh grade. As many of […] Read more…
Paperwork
Late at night, when the kids are asleep or settling in, and when Mark and I are really feeling the effects of our long days, here’s where you’ll find us…
knee deep in paperwork.
We are driven by a fierce love for a young girl on the other side of the world whom we have never met,
a […] Read more…
Asking For Wisdom Today
This post is directed to all of you veteran fundraisers out there.
As I have blogged before, I have postponed really moving forward into adoption for two years because of the minor little detail of money. I really tried to earn the money to begin the adoption before I began, but then I saw Bi Lu’s […] Read more…
