Do your kids know? Let this question really challenge you to find out if they do. Go ask your kids one by one… ask them to tell you why they think we celebrate Easter. It’s okay. I’ll wait right here until you’re finished. I recently found out that my foster daughters only knew this … Continue reading What’s it Really About?
In the middle of this mess I stand, holding down this ground we’ve gained, Praying that in the midst of it all these kids would feel something more than just pain. I knew from the beginning that my heart would break a thousand times, But I knew then that each one was worth it, And I remind myself I … Continue reading In the Middle of this Mess
Sometimes we are in seasons of our lives when we don’t really realize what the season is. We tell ourselves it’s spring, when really the snow is still falling.

I’ve been thinking about rainbows; particularly the one that surrounds the throne of God. Revelation 4:3 And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper … Continue reading Mercy
It’s been really busy around my house lately. We decided to keep two of the kids we had for an emergency placement. Six kids have me hopping around here. It’s been hard to get in the word.
