About Me
I am mother to thirteen children, two who went straight to Jesus arms, nine biological, and two who came home to me from China days before they turned fourteen and aged out of the China adoption program. I am wife to the
most wonderful man in the world, and daughter of the King, sister, by God's grace, to the Lord Jesus Christ, who has changed my life and helps me everyday to be more like Him. I have been a homeschooling mom for years and now have our five youngest in school, which is all new to me. I’m a writer who has chosen to share the story God is writing in our lives and in our hearts. May you be blessed for stopping by!

3 John 1;4
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
Proverbs 14;1
A wise woman builds her home, but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands.
Luke 12;24
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
James 1:27
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
Luke 10:2
He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.
Proverbs 24;12
If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,”
does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who guards your life know it?
Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?
1 Corinthians 3:6,7
I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
Lots of beautiful smiles in these photos! I hope that wonderful memories of this first Christmas together, are buried deep in the hearts and souls of each family member. The Girls look so happy…actually, ALL of the children look happy. I know that those smiles are not there all of the time, but I pray that they are there more often than not! How I wish I lived near your family. I would love to be part of a family. An “Auntie” to our children and a “Sister/Friend/Mothers Helper” to you, Diane. That was my job in the past..a Nanny, both live out and live-in for 17 years. And, that was after years as a Pediatric RN. SO, I miss being around children. I am praying that 2013 will be a year of healing, both physically and emotionally for all of you. Love your heart and that we both Love our Jesus! ~ Jo
