You Can Help - Give $1 Save 1 Child

Our friends, Kevin and Debbie, are in the process of adopting from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. You can follow their adoption journey at Forever By Grace.

They have been accepted to be the featured family this week (Feb 26-Mar 3) with an organization called Give1 Save1. Basically, people donate $1 towards their adoption fund and if 1000 people give $1 then that’s $1000 that goes to bringing home their baby! What a great organization and a great way for us all to work together to support adoption.

I ask that you please consider helping our friends bring their baby home. Also, please fell free to share this post so that others may also help.

Please consider helping support their adoption and give $1 to the Weldon's this week! Click here.

Thank you!!!

Romania... are you sure?

A few weeks back I received a call from one of our church members telling me that God put my name on his heart during his prayer time that morning and he wanted me to pray about going to Romania. WHAT??? I can't go to Romania, I have 4 children, I can't leave them for a week! I, of course, did not say this to him, I instead said that I would pray about it. Immediately I sent my husband an email telling him about the phone call. He instantly sent me a message back asking what we had to do to make it happen. Wait a minute....he does realize the kids aren't going with me, doesn't he? That evening we were sitting with our children looking at the globe. We showed them where they were born and where they live now. Suddenly, my youngest daughter spins the globe, points her little finger and says "where is that". Of all places, she pointed to Romania. I have often told friends that I need a postcard of clarity from God. I think that was definitely a postcard in the fo...

Trying to be more of a planner

In December I started making a monthly meal plan. I was excited, but a little nervous about how it would all turn out. I must say I was pleasantly surprised at the outcome. It didn't take as much time as I thought it would. I made the meal calendar for the month and then wrote down all the ingredients I would need. That part was a little overwhelming at first. I separated the lists into perishables and non-perishables/freezable. Now I do a once a month shopping trip for the non-perishables/freezables and then a bi-weekly shopping trip for perishables. I don't stick to the menu every day, but I know that I will have enough meals for a whole month. When making out the menu I tried to put similar meals back to back. Like one night we will have meatloaf and the next night we have shepherd pie. I use the same ingredients 2 days in a row. It saves time and money. My once a month shopping trip consists of bulk buying...

When the days are long ...

Good morning, Moms! I am sitting here with my four children, enjoying my second cup of coffee after completing my morning bible study. I am a little tired because a couple of my children kept me up a bit past my bedtime. If I am completely honest here, it was way past my bedtime. The older I get the earlier I am ready for bed. One of my daughter's came in my room three different times to tell me about the book she was reading. She has been reading a series that has, a few times, brought her to me with tears streaming down her cheeks. Last night, however, the story was ending and there was some happy moments. She simply could not wait til morning to tell me. This is the same girl who, a couple years ago, refused to read. She wanted nothing to do with reading at all. Now she gets so in to the stories that she is emotionally connected. It is great to witness this transformation in her. After my daughter went back to bed, for the fourth time, I started to drift off to sleep .......
