About Us

After nine years of waiting, believing, hoping... God led us to Ethiopia and the miracle of adoption. We are blessed beyond words to parent two amazing children. This blog chronicles our journey to bring our children home and our post-journey adventure to train them up in the Way that pleases Father God.

First time to our blog? A good place to start is through our post categories below. If you click on "steps," you will get all the posts with that category and you'll be able to read our story chronologically. Thanks for stopping by!

HOPE deferred is HISTORY!

I would have lost heart unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; WAIT, I SAY, ON THE LORD! Psalm 27:13-14

A FATHER OF THE FATHERLESS, a defender of widows, is God in His holy habitation. God sets the solitary in families. Psalm 68:5-6

... ONCE OUR EYES ARE OPENED, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act. Proverbs 24:12

Lift up your eyes all around, and see; They all gather together, they come to you; your sons shall come from afar and your daughters shall be nursed at your side. Then you shall see and become radiant, and YOUR HEART WILL SWELL WITH JOY... Isaiah 60:4-5a

Books, Books, Books

Any blog of mine must include books. The written word has power to create, to inspire, to challenge, as well as to entertain. A life without books... well, I hate to imagine it. Thomas Jefferson said, "I cannot live without books," and I imagine he was much busier than me. So, although time is now filled with kisses and bedtime snuggles and story time and cars and hair products, still I am making time for books. Below is a sneak peek... and if you're hungry for more, click on any icon and take a look at my GoodReads profile.
