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...

Homemaking Through Servanthood

Usually, when I think of the word “homemaking,” I think of Better Homes and Gardens. You know, having a spotless showplace with the most beautiful designer furniture, a lovely table set with fresh flowers, fine china, and cloth napkins, cuisine containing ingredients you have to special order at a froo froo food market. Oh, and candles. Lots of candles. Listen, if you’re gifted in making … {Read More}

Adoption: An Urgent Call {Operation 10:10:1}

On January 31, 2013 our family stepped out in faith. We stepped out believing that Kharis was our daughter and that the Lord would provide every bit of what we needed to bring her home.  He did just that.He provided over $36,000 in just 53 days.He's good like that.One of our biggest fundraising efforts was our 10:10:1 campaign.  We knew that $36,000 was beyond comprehension.  We … {Read More}
