I have a lot to tell you…. August 20, 2014. Some of you know by now that we had to pull out of our international adoption of our two boys, Beni and Yves… let me let that soak in for a minute. I was connected to a lady who had gone through practically the same thing 2 years before. So here’s the story:. We found out that our agency had lied to us about our boys. They weren’t abandoned without any know parents. They in fact. What were we supposed to do with that? In all of this we have learned a few things:.

This Crazy Life We Live. I have a lot to tell you… →. November 11, 2013. My dearest Bentley,. Do you know what today is? We have never met. We don’t know how it feels to hug each other. We don’t know how we will interact with each other. We don’t know how our hands feel wrapped around each other. I do, however, know the depth of emotions you carry in your dark brown eyes. I know that your hands are adorably squeezable and as cute as they come. And I know that in this past year you have grown so m...He ca...

I have a lot to tell you…. August 26, 2014. I haven’t had alone time for at least 3 weeks and even though Hazel was crying because her tummy hurt and Charlie was crying because I didn’t help tuck her in for bed, he sent me out to do whatever my heart desired. So here I am… at our coffeehouse. Okay, I know what you are thinking, I go out to be alone and I head to. So I am sitting here drinking my favorite coffee (Intelligentsia) and savoring this divine. How do I hear from God? How does God speak to me?

Who Are We? | giving love roots
https://givingloveroots.wordpress.com/about
Let me start by introducing my family…. Yep… that’s a workout selfie… no, I do not workout 24/7. But let’s face it, I don’t take many pictures of myself. Mom I like to dream about decorating my home. And honestly, I am just trying to get by on God’s good grace and mercy because let’s face it: I am not perfect and I never will be. Yes, Caleb is the one jumping off the ledge, on our wedding day, in the middle of a Montana winter wearing Chacos (hiking sandals). Most of all, Caleb is my best friend. You are...

Hush | giving love roots
https://givingloveroots.wordpress.com/2014/10/21/hush
How to Fail the “7” Experiment. October 21, 2014. Through all of this I have written about how God is sovereign. How He loves us – how He knows our heartache. And I know that I’ve told you of His great power and might in my weakest of moments. I have felt His love in ways that I cannot even explain to you – ways that make my heart race, palms sweat and the air to be sucked from my lungs. The more I heard God telling me to “hush” the louder my questions became: why do you want me to hush? 8220;Then I saw ...

All She Had | giving love roots

The truth. →. May 8, 2013. Can you imagine the Lord’s delight? Can you feel his heart soar at the image of that woman giving so little and it meaning so much? Is the one who gets it! I am so proud of her sacrifices! 8221; I can see the smile on His face and I can hear his heart racing, palms sweating, as He experienced what God had brought Him here to see in that very moment. I can see even our Lord and Savior’s heart being ministered to in that very moment. But can you imagine with me one more time?

November 11th →. This Crazy Life We Live. November 5, 2013. Sorry I haven’t written in a little bit. My last post was on letting go and resting in God’s peace and strength while going through this adoption – so I have been. And it hasn’t always been easy… BUT can I just say that when I actually do rest and let go, this process becomes even more beautiful and I am seeing more and more of God in each step! At 8am Charlie woke up – praise God! The whole day I was nauseous. When we got home that night Ch...

Let it go. →. September 26, 2013. You know the movie “What to Expect When You’re Expecting”? I mean, so beautiful that it makes you want to drop everything and adopt, right? Because it is so EASY! And you wonder why nobody has told you about the ease and beauty of traveling to another country to adopt your child/children…. 8230;…… cue the crickets……. So we did research: what is the easiest country to adopt from? The Democratic Republic of Congo. What country has the shortest wait time? The answer seemed ...

How to Fail the “7” Experiment. September 8, 2014. Yep You read that right… How to fail the “7” Experiment. As you read last week ( here. I decided to give the “7” experiment a go. So last week I spent many hours looking at healthy foods and which 7 foods I would only eat for a month that could give me all of my necessary nutrients. I was scared but I thought. Jen Hatmaker did it, so why can’t I? After all, it’s only for 1 month…. 1) Decide to do this after having a baby. Yes, I know we already cover...
