The Beautiful Journey: A Breakfast Visitor
http://onthebeautifuljourney.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-breakfast-visitor_9913.html
A Little About Us. Saturday, June 8, 2013. 8220;Who sleeps in this room? 8221; our little breakfast visitor asked with intense curiosity. 8220;That’s where Elliott and Raegan sleep,” I said, smiling at her sweet toothless grin. This was probably question number one hundred since she had come in less than thirty minutes prior. 8220;They both sleep in here? Just the two of them? 8221; She seemed puzzled. 8220;Yep,” I said, not sure where the confusion was coming in. 8220;Then why are there two. Farinha, a ...

The Beautiful Journey: The Ugly Side of Adoption
http://onthebeautifuljourney.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-ugly-side-of-adoption.html
A Little About Us. Saturday, November 8, 2014. The Ugly Side of Adoption. I found this entry the other day while randomly flipping through an old journal:. 8220;January 2, 2013. Today, sort of in passing and sort of without even realizing it, I prayed a prayer. 8216;Do something great through me… No matter what it takes.’. I meant it when I prayed it, but my next thought was: ‘Uh-oh.’”. Dear Ashley from almost two years ago: that next thought was very appropriate. I remember discussing the challenges we ...

The Beautiful Journey: Grace from His Fullness
http://onthebeautifuljourney.blogspot.com/2015/02/grace-from-his-fullness.html
A Little About Us. Friday, February 20, 2015. Grace from His Fullness. Sitting there in the corner of that little 500 square foot house, I looked around the room at the little faces of the kids that had gathered together that Saturday afternoon, almost thirty of them. It was hot and cramped and little two-year-old Francisco was not. Happy that his mom had brought him there. Then there is little Chico. I feel so much smaller. I know how weak I am. I know my own faults. How many days I just want to...I kno...

The Beautiful Journey: June 2015
http://onthebeautifuljourney.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
A Little About Us. Saturday, June 27, 2015. Life Off the Bandwagon. As I watch from a distance the United States becoming a huge mess, I have very conflicting emotions. On the one hand, I long for God to open eyes so that we remain the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. But on the other hand, I simply wait and pray. After all, it’s hard to see the Light when all seems day. But our hearts will grow softer. Our ears more in tuned to listen. Our eyes focused to see. It means we get hurt. We may nev...

The Beautiful Journey: Six Things Not to Say to an Adoptive Parent
http://onthebeautifuljourney.blogspot.com/2014/11/six-things-not-to-say-to-adoptive-parent.html
A Little About Us. Monday, November 17, 2014. Six Things Not to Say to an Adoptive Parent. I recently posted a blog. That I have been working on for some time. It took me a while to write it because I wanted to be sure it accurately conveyed my heart but was honest about something that it seems is lacking in the adoption community. I wrote it knowing that I was opening myself up for criticism, but I felt like God was prompting me to post it so I held my breath and hit “Post”. And I’m so glad I did. This ...
