The River

It's plain sad

when fear dictates.

Someday he'll not let fear get the best of him.

Claiming II Timothy 1:7 for Buster.

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

After having a tantrum and it not doing any good she finally went with her sisters slowly into the water. After she conquered her fear she had a great time. You are doing a great job!

Acceptance With Joy

I am mother to 5 plus. My husband and I are blessed with three lovely teenage daughters and we adopted 6 year old twins through the domestic adoption process. We are also licensed foster parents and have been privileged to have a part in reuniting a family and we continue to be there in support of this family. It has been a blessed experience. Occasionally we do respite but mostly, this blog is about the journey of raising children adopted domestically and conquering the hurdles that make life difficult for them. The twins are almost 12 now. It's been a tough road. One that we need God to give us strength and wisdom to travel.

“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?

Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—
when you see the naked, to clothe him,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?

Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly appear;
then your righteousness will go before you,
and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

~Isa. 58:3-8
