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}

Wherever God Leads

While running around today, with list in hand, every now and then I would think, where is God leading us? I'm still trying to grasp buying outlet covers, cabinet locks, etc. for a child we don't even know about yet.

Thank You!

We Are THAT Family is doing something really cool today. It's what they call an Adoption Carnival. Kristen, like me, believes that God has called us all to take care of widows and orphans. I firmly believe that, as a Christian, if you aren't called to adopt, you are called to pray for, give to, support, love, etc. those who are adopting.So, she asked all of us raising money for our adoptions to … {Read More}

Letter!

I'm driving all of you crazy already, I know!!But, we received a letter from CHS in the mail today giving us our social workers name and phone number, saying that she would be in contact with us as soon as possible.I did have some contact with this same social worker when we were trying to figure out who to go through to get licensed to do foster care. She was on top of things and returned calls … {Read More}
