Racer and I finally decided to announce that we are having another baby. Well, Racer’s been ready for a while. I’ve been the hold-up. I’m over 1/2 way through this pregnancy. I keep thinking about this baby (I won’t have a cute nickname until it’s here) and such a variety of emotions surface. Of courseContinue reading “Another Bundle of Surprise”

Puzzle Pieces…
This past weekend at a family friend’s house, Blue worked on a puzzle. That girl WORKED that puzzle and would not stop until it was done. On the way home, she said something so profound – I’m not sure she realized how profound it really was. Blue said that while she was praying, she gotContinue reading “Puzzle Pieces…”
Waiting to move
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. It’s been awhile since I’ve had anything that I felt was worth saying really. My family is slowly preparing to move. Our house is filled with boxes packed with things that aren’t necessities. Christmas dishes, cd’s, books, knick-knacks, stuff. Eventually we need to have a yard sale with theContinue reading “Waiting to move”
The Yellow House
Last summer, Racer and I fell in love with a yellow house. We were looking for a bigger house because Blue would be joining our family. We found something we thought was perfect. It had 3 large upstairs bedrooms for kids and a great master bedroom on the mail level for us. 2 car garage,Continue reading “The Yellow House”
Victory in Jesus
Tonight, in Celebrate Recovery, we learned about Victory. We looked at steps 6 and 7. Voluntarily submit to any and all changes God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. (Steps 6 and 7) “Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires” I’veContinue reading “Victory in Jesus”
Hearing and Receiving
I’ve been praying a lot lately. I feel like it’s been a one-way conversation with God. I’ve been talking. I’ve been trying to listen, but I’ve not been able to hear anything. On Sunday, the thought came into my brain. I’ve been hearing, I’ve just not been receiving. It’s sort of like this with compliments. Continue reading “Hearing and Receiving”
Shake it Like a Polaroid
Do y’all remember Polaroid cameras and pictures? When you used a Polaroid camera/film, the picture would come out blank and you – well at least I – would shake it to develop the picture. Often times though, I would shake too vigorously and the picture would get screwed up. The colors would run, or partContinue reading “Shake it Like a Polaroid”
Adoption Story… part 6
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 The road to finalizing the adoption was longer than we anticipated. In all reality, it wasn’t that long. After Blue had been with us about 3 months it was time to move forward. From the point that the workers began to move toward adoption (asContinue reading “Adoption Story… part 6”
Adoption Story… part 5
Part1 Part 2 Part3 Part 4 It was time – time to tell Blue about “our plans.” Racer and I were nervous. We didn’t know what she’d say. We didn’t know if she’d want to be a part of our family. We didn’t know how she’d respond. The morning started out with a meeting ofContinue reading “Adoption Story… part 5”
Empty Wallets and the Empty Tomb
I have some “friends” right now that are in dire straights. I say “friends” because I don’t know them in real life. I only know them online. I’ve never seen their faces, I know them by screen name (usually I can connect a real name) and I don’t even really know where they live. Yet,Continue reading “Empty Wallets and the Empty Tomb”
