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”

“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.

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”

Aug 30, 2020 I thought about how far-fetched it all sounded. Did I really believe that God created a world with Adam and Eve in a garden and that all was peaceful until a tricky snake caused humans to sin? It sounded fanciful and ridiculous to my common sense. All my life the stories fromContinue reading “Far-fetched Faith”

July 15, 2020 Are you ready to give up today? Yeah. Me too. And that’s okay. It’s okay because we weren’t made to handle everything.
