Help Bring Lucas Home By Being A Part Of The Puzzle

We have been pre-approved less than a week and in that short time God has put us in touch with several other families who have adopted or are currently adopting a child from Maria's Big House of Hope.

Now that we have been pre-approved, we are going to start raising funds to bring our son home. We already received our first donation. The donation was from someone we just met through Facebook. God is good!

For our first fundraiser, we are asking you to become a piece of the puzzle that brings Lucas home.
We are having this picture of Lucas made into a 1000 piece puzzle.  We are asking for a $5 donation to sponsor a piece of the puzzle. When you sponsor a piece of the puzzle, we will write your name on the back of a puzzle piece. Once all the pieces have sponsors, we will put the puzzle together, frame it and hang it in Lucas' room so he can see it when he comes home. The puzzle picture will be a constant reminder of God's work and how He used so many people to help bring Lucas home.

If you'd like to sponsor a piece of the puzzle, please click here to be connected to our adoption blog. There will be a donation box on the right hand side of the blog. When you make a donation, please indicate the name you would like on the puzzle piece.

Thank you all for your support. We are truly grateful.

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...

A Mom Is A Mom

I've been struggling with something for a while now. My struggle has caused me to hide out in my house and not want to go out into the world. What is my struggle? Women treating other women in a negative matter. Women talking about other women in a negative matter. More to the point - I struggle with the way moms treat other moms. We moved down south from Michigan about 5 years ago. I was excited for the change. My excitement was quickly squashed with the negativity I received. Unfortunately, there are still some people down south who do not care for people from the north. This has been a struggle the entire time I have lived down here. I simply do not fit in. My feeling is that I don't care where you are from. If you are a woman, we have something in common and we should support each other and lift each other up. If you are a mom, we have even more in common and we should support each other and lift each other up. It doesn't matter if you are a working mom or a s...
