Happy Mother's Day to those of you who don't follow along on Facebook. Sorry, my blog has been quiet. I have been an awful blogger over the last few years. It's been a season of being intentional, being still, drawing nearer to the heart of my God and quietly listening to His still, small voice that leads us onward. He has been good to my family. Dependable. Faithful and true--even when His hand … [Read more...]
making forever work
One of things people ask us a lot is, "How do you make your marriage work with many kids, special needs and very little help?" It's a fair question. Marriage can be hard even when there are just two children at home. I think our most challenging years of marriage were the first two. Yikes! Anthony was almost 39 when we got married--a confirmed, life-long bachelor. I was an emotional mess. … [Read more...]

bandaids and abiding

Not only will Kael and Hasya be joining our family (prayerfully before the end of the year!), but we also have some other big … [Read more...]
recently I’ve been…
~~~ Making a list and checking it fifty times! SO much to do before I leave for Bulgaria in just 7 days! Praying that God will multiply my time.~~~ Ordering school books galore. It is totally outrageous what homeschool books cost! ~~~ Thrilled that my big kids are home after their little trip. They had a fabulous time in VA. I missed them terribly but … [Read more...]
the blessing of time alone
Getting away alone together is one of the most challenging things for Anthony and me. We don't have any family around to leave our children with. And most of our friends also have large families.When my Dad and Beth (who are here visiting us from South Africa) insisted on watching our kids for one night so that we could get away, we jumped at the opportunity.Time really has flown … [Read more...]

I can hardly wait to see updates on what God is about to do in their lives. I will absolutely keep you all posted. Please continue to pray for these sweet children--pray that … [Read more...]
looking back, looking forward
I woke up yesterday morning with my darling seven-year-old son's face literally in my face. He simply could not wait one more minute for me to wake up."So, Mom, are you happy about being forty today?" he asked."Yes, honey, I am. Why do you ask?""Well, because I really like it that you are old now!" He said in all his sweet innocence.Old? I had to laugh.And just like that, … [Read more...]
