Satisfaction Through Christ

Remembering Mandy Kelly from Worshipful Living

Tuesday, March 21, started like any other day around our house. I got the kids off to school and came home to do some work. Around 9:30 a member of our Facebook Mastermind Group (a group of about 10 Christian women bloggers that support one another through blogging and life) posted that she'd seen some chatter on Mandy's Facebook profile and wanted to see how we could pray for her. It wasn't 20 minutes later that we all realized what was going on... Mandy, her husband Scott, and their … {Read More}

Part 7 – The FBI

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 As we settled in for the night, we shared of the Lord's goodness with Papa Charlie and Grandma Karen.

Lord, I'm still … {Read More}

Fundraising Idea

A few of the schools around the area have participated in Apple*bee's Flapjack Fundraiser in order to raise money for band and choral competitions.

Rough Day

I got in the car this morning around 6:30am, heading to the hospital to be with my family as my Dad had a surgical procedure today (keep him in your prayers), I turned on the local Christian radio station. Their topic this morning was, "How are you expecting to experience God in 2011?" I immediately felt a need to call and share our adoption story and where we are in the process. I fought the Lord … {Read More}
