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...

God’s Word…Real and Active

I'll update on our meeting today...tomorrow!For now, I had to bring you this passage...God's Provision - Philippians 4: 10-20I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me.

Big Day!!!

Today is a big day!First, I want to thank those that gave insight about adoption letters. All of the feedback was great and I used it to help make our decision (along with prayer).So, with that said....we mailed out our first 60 letters this morning. Oh gosh, my stomach is in knots! But, we prayed over them last night, asking that God would soften the hearts of his people, that they would … {Read More}
