“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26
As I sit here, I cry.
I cry almost everyday.
My husband is not home now so I can let the tears flow. He kinda makes fun of me.
He always says to me, "Are you going to cry again..." (lol)
My heart right now is so hopeful and so happy for them.
I have very special friends (and yes she really is my friend).
I follow this blog daily and I cry over almost every post.
This woman,
this man,
this family.
They give me hope.
They are perfect examples of people who deny themselves and follow Jesus.
That is all I want to do.
I want to follow Jesus.
Lord use us.
Use me.
Use my children to display your goodness.
Your love.
Your heart for these children.
Something happened to me on the inside and I am not the same person.
Patience! We need to hear His will for our lives.
It is not easy. The Lord is teaching me so much right now.
This is all very good. Good. Good.
We serve an awesome God.
I am hopeful!
We have an ALL-knowing, ALL- powerful, mountain moving, ocean separating, turning water into wine, healer of all diseases, King of Kings and Lord of Lords Father on our side!
"God Is Moving"
"God Is Moving"
"But they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."
Isaiah 40:31
Today our family is on a mission. However, our story began back in 2003. We were married, blessed with 3 beautiful children and the world’s best loving little Shiz-Tu of a man-dog! (We really love him. Probably too much. But that is not what this blog is about!)
My husbands name is Chris but my kids and I call him ‘Papa’! We have been married for over 8 years. We have seen some amazing mountain tops in our marriage and we have also swam in the depths of the oceans floor. We know that God is alive, working and ALL POWERFUL. We are living proof!
Our children are amazing. They REALLY do make us laugh. So many times we just look at each other and shake our heads because they are so cute and unpredictable. They force us to learn humility, mercy and grace constantly and we fail daily. It’s actually very sobering.
We are completely broken people. Sinners in need of grace, forgiveness and mercy like you need air and water. We give our brokenness to Jesus. We turn in all our failures and sinful ways in hopes that Jesus will use these vessels (our lives, our bodies) for His ultimate and complete Glory and unto His Kingdom.
What is this blog about? It’s about Jesus and Orphans!
As you will read, we are now on a mission. To love the orphan! To serve HIS children and help provide for any urgent needs we encounter.
We originally were praying about adoption. However, we are now praying that the Lord would just SEND US, if that is His plan.
We have started a ministry called, "Bread For Life" and we bake and sell bread to help raise money for children in need. It began in December of 2011, we have raised almost $20,000! This little ministry is being turned into a non-profit and we are seeking the Lord for what He has in store for us next.
If you can get past all the misspelled words, run on sentences and confusing grammar than sit back and be encouraged! God is on the move in our hearts and we are thrilled! We invite you to laugh, cry, pray, rejoice and hope that Christ be glorified through our lives.
There is a war to fight and we are headed to battle!
This is our mission, Our Story.
