Author Archives: admin For most everyone (especially photographers), this is the busiest time of year. And for me–it’s very easy to become overwhelmed especially when I’ve already cut back the days I will work (Tues/Sat) in an attempt to focus more on my first jobs as a wife and mommy. I’ve let some extra things creep in (sessions and in the midst […] We’re back from a great weekend where we attended the Together for Adoption Conference. It was an amazing weekend!!! Read the highlights here: http://www.togetherforadoption.org We also got to stay in Columbia, TN (very close to Franklin where the conference was) with Richard’s family. Can’t wait to post the fun pictures from our weekend! Today is […] hey there … we were at the conference as well! We live about 30 miles from Franklin…it was amazing … and I saw you peaking into the rooms snapping pictures 🙂 We adopted our son through AGCI and got home June 19th … not sure if you snapped any pics of the nursery, but Silas was in there … blessings on your journey … believe me, it'll be more than you could ever dream of!  My typical girl… My typical boy… And my typical mess… Yes…that black thing in his hand turned out to be a WORM…a dried up, dead one…YUCK….and yes…it made it’s way into his mouth before I could stop him… Doesn’t taste good does it?! A little protein? No worries…a finger sweep and gagging mommy successfully removed […] THANKS! I should have known not to be eating when I opened this and read the earthworm gagging part :)) HA! Too precious! Ha! ha! Sorry to spoil yout lunch;) Hey, well…you know sometimes those things are considered delicacies in other countries?? Too cute of a pic though!!! Could squeeze that cuteness. Thanks for stopping by our blog. Great to virtually meet you. 🙂 So excited for your family. Looking forward to following your journey! -Rebecca Richard and I are packin’ up the van and heading to Franklin, TN to join 600 other conference attenders with a heart for adopton! I’m so excited to be among these people…and to even meet some precious friends I have met through adoption blogs also with our agency! YAY! I’m also helping during the conference […] Enjoy the conference! an earthworm? WOW! That is crazy! Boys are great! OK–it’s only 12:30pm…our big Wednesday only half over. So is my cup half full or half empty? (I’ll go ahead and apologize for the long post…it’s been one of those days!) Today was my day to get my adoption physical. We have a precious MD who had volunteered to give Rich and I our physicals […] That is crazy and encouraging–LOL fun! Sorry to laugh but I know it is all going to be worth the craziness! You are an encouragement to me! my favorite part: can't you clearly see I need more children;) Hilarious! AMEN for days like that- make you appreciate the slightly slower ones 🙂 Oh praise God that you have answered the call of a little one who needs you, of God who wants all of our hearts to be open to Him, and of your willing testimony. Yes…days like this you see it is the Lord carrying you through!!! It WILL all be worth it in the end! And you were still smiling at 6pm. Well done…. […] SO–today was ONE of those crazy days. Like…one of those I had about 2 years ago and I posted the comical run down here. […] |

wow, this really spoke to me! I need to do some major pruning in my life, and the whole thinking about it before just answering "yes" to a new responsibility. (My parents and friends tell me to start pracicing a gently "no thanks" a lot) I sure appreciate you sharing what you learned, gotta go make a tree… 🙂
WOW- love that!!! I need to do some pruning myself!!! Thank you for that powerful reminder.
Oh how this post and the images spot to me!
Thank you!

Bless you sweet friend for being vulnerable 🙂 God is teaching me to trust him for fulfillment and not my ways of doing good here and there…still on this journey of pruning but it is beyond freeing! I'm learning to see the beauty of resting in HIM!! Right now I am basking in staying a passionate wife to Ken, and being a voice for Sophie and Cole while serving others. xoxo
I found your blog through Shawnda’s post of your video and wow, I love it! This tree exercise is ingenious. I’ll be doing it soon!
