"There is one who scatters, and yet increases all the more,
and there is one who withholds what is justly due,
and yet it results only in want.
The generous man will be prosperous, and he who waters will himself be watered."
Proverbs 11:24-25
Question:
What could your morning devotion time need more
than a nice warm piece of Homemade Pumpkin Bread from "Bread FOR Life" ;-)
and your Bible opened to your favorite Scripture passage?
No clue.
Well I'll tell ya!
A nice warm cup of joe called
"Sanyu Coffee Blend"
That's right!
A medium blend of 3 different African coffees-
ALL donated by my sweet Ugandan-Sanyu-OrphanLover-Volunteer Teresa
(compliments of Petaluma Coffee Company)
who's heart also breaks for the orphan!
Woo-Hoo- Jesus!
You are inspiring the hearts of your people!
Set them all on F.I.R.E!
Teresa has created this yummy pound of coffee specifically
with the faces of Sanyu babies on her heart!

"Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
when it is in your power to do it."
Proverbs 3:27
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.
(To start at the beginning of our blog, 
Adoption Timeline: May 23, 2011 Passports * June 6, 2011 Fingerprinting * Getting paperwork completed for homestudy * Woe, hold up... Lord are you calling us... are we to "GO!" and adopt/serve/teach/love/feed? ... Hold on. This calling just got a lot more exciting! Stay tuned!
