Not knowing where to start on this journey, questions were at every turn. We began with the most pressing question: What adoption agency? We did some internet searches but quickly got lost in the mountainous options. We didn’t see any clear direction and made no headway. This lull sparked more questions. Had we heard GodContinue reading ““Walk with Me” Post #5 Small Arrow from Heaven”

“Walk with Me” – Post #4 The Flaming Toaster and Finding the Way in Excuses
“You could never. You have anxiety. You are weak and overwhelmed. You have enough. This is crazy.” These thoughts certainly entered my mind as I considered adoption. And I would have stayed paralyzed in them except for God’s counter words that hushed all the negative banter and excuses. He unmistakably said, “I have prepared youContinue reading ““Walk with Me” – Post #4 The Flaming Toaster and Finding the Way in Excuses”
“Walk with Me” – Post #3 An Unexpected Entry
As I searched through my old journal, I stumbled across a passage that I didn’t remember writing. It went like this… “Adoption will be the next best thing, and I know it would probably suffice. But I also would not want to adopt until I had made peace with all baggage that comes with infertility.Continue reading ““Walk with Me” – Post #3 An Unexpected Entry”
“Walk with Me” Post #2 – Helping a Friend
The text came out of nowhere from a number I didn’t recognize, and it read, “Hey just wanted you to know we had our first appointment with our RE specialist. I saw this and just teared up.” With it came a follow-up text explaining who she was and a snapshot of what had prompted herContinue reading ““Walk with Me” Post #2 – Helping a Friend”
“Walk with Me” – Post #1 Ordinary People, Extraordinary God
“I greatly admire you for adopting and know God calls special people to do it.” If you’ve adopted and our paths have crossed, you’ve probably heard those exact words from me for that was my usual response. Since then, God has taught me so much. The most important thing He has shown me is thatContinue reading ““Walk with Me” – Post #1 Ordinary People, Extraordinary God”
Introducing “Walk with Me” – A Story of Miracles
Dear Friends, What if? It’s the question I keep asking myself. What if Noah had caved to the mockery and hadn’t built an ark? What if David had felt embarrassed to volunteer and hadn’t fought Goliath. What if the widow had given into fear and hadn’t fed Elijah? As Christians, we are faced with whatContinue reading “Introducing “Walk with Me” – A Story of Miracles”
Bouncing Back
March 31, 2021 Twenty twenty stretched us, and we couldn’t wait to reach 2021. Now we have three months of 2021 under our tight fitting belts, and some of us are still just continuing to survive. We think, “Shouldn’t it be better than this? Shouldn’t I have already bounced back?” People describe it different ways.Continue reading “Bouncing Back”
Saving Jonah
February 4, 2021 It was a pretty normal day. We attended a homeschool class about Astronomy, visited my sister, ate lunch, and went to the library. I should have known this day seemed a bit too normal. When we got home, we switched into boots, threw some feed to the chickens, and collected eggs. SurprisinglyContinue reading “Saving Jonah”
Messy Math
January 20, 2021 Now I’m not blaming the math book. The lesson was simple enough and doing a recipe with your kids to talk about measurements shouldn’t be hard. I tried to make it simple for us. I really did. I didn’t choose beef wellington, coq au vin, or croissants. I chose Kodiak protein ballsContinue reading “Messy Math”
Worth Teaching
Dec 18, 2020 What is the same about them? “That they are all different.” It was just a simple question I asked during a math lesson about coins, and I was unprepared for my four year old’s answer. Perhaps he didn’t mean it to be profound as he was just sitting in on his olderContinue reading “Worth Teaching”
