No Greater Joy Mom

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. 3 John 1:4

BECAUSE SHE MATTERS!

Good morning, friends. This morning I am coming to you all with an EXTREMELY urgent situation and I am praying that many of you will help us to rally for this love. Our team at PURE AND FAULTLESS has become aware of an adoption situation in Uganda.

break our hearts for what breaks Yours!

More than thirty children have been added to this list. Each picture and story absolutely breaks my heart! These are human lives! Each precious one created in the image of a Father in heaven who adores them. Some have medical needs, others are on the verge of aging out of the adoption system in their country--never to know the love of a family. Devastating! Each life so desperately needing … [Read more...]

loss and hope

It’s been almost one month since we found out that our treasured embryo baby did not make it. So many friends have reached out to ask me how we’re dealing with the loss. Your love and support have touched my heart so deeply. It’s been an emotional time in our lives. I’d be lying if I said that it’s been easy. Loss of any kind is always hard.

For more than six years he waited on a list to be chosen. Sadly, Kael waited in one of the worst mental asylums in Bulgaria … [Read more...]

her redemption, my new life

I will never forget walking with Anthony on a remote beach on the Wild Coast of South Africa in 1997. It was our honeymoon and we were talking about all the things that we wanted for our marriage. A nice home. Financial security. Two perfectly healthy children. Just two. That was my limit. I was that person. I wanted the perfect life. The perfect children. The white picket … [Read more...]

my tiny miracle girl

A few months ago I switched my blog over to Wordpress. It has definitely taken some getting used to. Unfortunately we lost a lot of comments that didn't transfer over and I recently discovered that some of my posts are missing the photos too. Slowly I've been going way back and fixing things. While looking for photos today I found this old one of my Hailee. It was the very first one we ever … [Read more...]
