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...

I opened it right away and filled out as much as I could...waiting for Q's signature when he gets home!We have to re-do our background checks and get one sent from Alabama since Q hasn't been in NC for 5 years yet!Obviously, I'm excited about where God is leading our hearts on this one. I feel like a "flake", having gone from international, to domestic infant, … {Read More}
