A Dose of Positivity

I used to be a hopeless, negative wretch. I saw it in my own face on our 15-year-old wedding video. Even though I looked sooooo pretty, I didn’t have HOPE. Come see what it’s all about, along with a cool pic of Rob and me.

Loved Through It

My friend’s text message read, “I’m glad you loved through it!” That’s exactly what happened. I loved through it. Even if I thought it was going to kill me, I loved through it.

Jay’s Boys

Of course you knew I’d do it… I signed up for “Little Men” and “Jo’s Boys” on DailyLit.
Last night was our final Foster Parent Training Class. It was quite a dull  training, in all, but we’re glad to have gotten through it and we’re nearly done with paperwork. The only thing left to do is [...]

I’m Clean!

Rob has an amazing sense of humor. Sometimes I forget that he’s funny, and I’m annoyed at the little things he says and does- but I have prayed for and received a little dose of patience and also remembered why I love him so much!
Rob is a huge movie fan. He’ll remember little bits of [...]

Panacea

[From Little Women, after the ladies learned in a telegram that Father had taken ill and was in Hospital in Washington:]Poor Hannah was the first to recover, and with unconscious wisdom she set all the rest a good example, for with her, work was panacea for most afflictions.
I am truly hoping that I’ll be healthy enough [...]

Sewing and Birthdays

Birthdays
Rob’s is on Easter this year. My darling sweetheart hubby will be 38 in just a few days and he WILL NOT tell me what he wants for his special day. For my birthday, he spent a lot of money on getting a 16×20 canvas print of a photo I took of a barn near [...]

It Figures

In our Christmas Card from a dear friend, she wrote about a possible adoption and asked if Rob and I would be interested. We said YES. But the bio-mom was wanting to keep her baby. A few weeks ago, we found out that the bio-mom agreed to adopt out the baby. And last night we found out [...]

ABC’s of Jay’s Morning

Abandoned, blue, crushed, drear.
I felt it this morning when I woke up. First thing, the tears started.
Embarassed, foolish, gloomy, hopeless.
But it wouldn’t stay that way for too long. Something had to change.
Irresolute, jumpy, kicked, lonely.
We prayed and then I felt something different.
Mercies, new, openness, peace.
The peace which passes understanding, my friends.
Quiet, rest, smiles, thankful.
Full of thanks [...]
