May I share something with you all?
Many wonder, "What has gottin into that girl?"
or maybe you have just disregarded me as
"Someone I can not relate to."
Either one, its still me:
little Miss. Robin Minder
or Mrs. Robin Maiocca.
I am no one special or claim to have a road to fame.
However, I am someone who sees my life as a vapor.
What does that mean?
Well, we are here today and gone tomorrow.
Does that not ring true?
We know it does.
We have all lost loved ones;
here today and GONE tomorrow.
So in the late night of my quiet sittings,
I have asked many, MANY questions.
What is this life for?
Why am I here?
I believe in GOD.
I absolutely believe in a Divine Creator
and a Savior of man. (Jesus)
Friend,
this world did not, could not, happen by “chance”.
Look at the beauty of creation!
There IS A CREATOR!
If you die now, today, what would happen to you?
Think about it.
What if I am right?
What if you stand before a Holy God...
then what?
Anyways, in the depths of my soul I know there is more to this life.
I know it.
I believe it and now I will live it.
I want to share with you a blog post from
a now dear-friend that the Lord used to set my soul on fire.
Made me "WAKE-UP" to the world around me
and stop living for myself.
I pray you read it and see where this “crazy girl” is coming from.
(and going)
Maybe, you too, can catch fire and we can be
crazy, freaky, lost-our-minds, looney-toons for Christ together.
I tell you what, I would not change it for
ANYTHING
this world has to offer.
(I have tasted much of what is there and I tell you what, it is not satisfying. You are ALWAYS searching for more! Always!)
I know, I’ve become coo-coo for Jesus and I LOVE IT!
One of the best things I have ever read
(apart from the Holy Word of God!)
...
"Did you get the memo?"
I didn't.

Thank you Linny (A Place Called Simplicity) for your boldness and love in writing this post!
It has officially rocked my world!
"You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free.
But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love."
Galatians 5:13


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!
