Y’all Did It Again!
Sometimes I want to kick myself for not posting what’s going on with us or asking for prayer sooner. Because once again, I asked for prayer, you all did just that, and God responded in a big way! Monday afternoon our 800A approval was in the mailbox!! Jeremy immediately called our SW to let her … Continue reading »
Back to the Adoption
Since my last two posts were about infertility, I thought I should get back to the adoption for a bit and let you all know where we stand right now. I’m sure you’ll all be shocked to know that we are waiting on some paperwork to be processed. As I’ve stated many times before, I … Continue reading »
What Not To Say
Based on the comments and messages I’ve received over the past few days, my previous post obviously touched on subject matter that while quite sensitive, deserves much more attention and awareness. Therefore, I decided it was time to write a post with a few things that should never be said to married couples. These are … Continue reading »
Mother’s Day When You’re Not A Mother
Last year, I celebrated my first Mother’s Day. Even though we had just started the adoption process, in my heart I was a mama. But for several years prior to that, Mother’s Day was another brutal reminder that the thing I longed for more than any other was uncontrollably out of my reach. For as long … Continue reading »
Happy, Happy, Happy!
In case you didn’t hear, we got our LOA on Friday morning!!! Poor Jeremy is up to his eyeballs in more paperwork, but that is ok with us. I’ll share more about that later. Then on Sunday morning we got two new pictures (I’ll post those later too) and updated size info on EB. Thank … Continue reading »
And still we wait…
In my last post I told you all we were waiting on our LOA. Well here we are almost a month later and we’re still waiting for it to come. I have never been a patient person and the smidgen I have conjured up for this process is wearing very thin right now. This specific … Continue reading »
Waiting On The Next Acronym
The last adoption update I gave you all was when we received PA. We are now waiting on our LOA. Adoption is all about waiting and you would think I’d be good at it by now. But alas, I am not. Our SW Mallory told us that the time between PA and LOA is the … Continue reading »
First Christmas and Now Easter
Well, since I’ve started posting Easter songs on Facebook I decided it was time to write about the holiday. For the past year or so, I have felt convicted about the way we celebrate the two holidays of the Christian faith. If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you most likely read my posts on Christmas. … Continue reading »
You Are Invited
Tomorrow night, the Watoto Children’s Choir from Africa will be at First Baptist Church Dothan. I have been beyond excited about this event ever since I learned they were coming. We welcome you to join us for a night you’ll not soon forget. And did I mention it’s absolutely free? But you will have the … Continue reading »
