I wanted to write about baby girl's first week home as soon as possible so I wouldn't forget any detail. Well, here she is, three weeks old, and I'm just getting to it. Oh well. I've been busy enjoying her. A lot of things have lost importance. A lot of things have become infinity more important. One thing is for sure. We are indescribably happy! Having her home has been the definition of joy. ... Read More about So Flippin Happy!!

Tempted | Trusting God’s Plan For Our Adoption
Other couples being chosen, low page views, no comments, an "unlike" on Facebook, or no "shares" on a post I worked particularly hard on. These are a few of my least favorite things. The Enemy knows this too. He weasels his way into my thoughts and tells me I'm not good enough, I'm lacking, and unloved. I'm ashamed at how often I listen. I am tempted to believe him. But what did Christ do when He ... Read More about Tempted | Trusting God’s Plan For Our Adoption
