Building Castles: It's Been a While
http://buildingcastles-adoptionjourney.blogspot.com/2012/10/its-been-while.html
And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me. Matthew 18:5. Monday, October 15, 2012. It's Been a While. It has been a while since I last posted and for that I apologize. Before you continue reading, please know that is not going to be "spiritually correct" or uplifting or anything else - today's post will truly be my heart speaking as I write. So I am sure your first question is "how is the adoption going and where are you in the process? To say this came to us as a low ...

And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me. Matthew 18:5. Friday, November 1, 2013. It’s November which means it is National Adoption/Orphan Awareness Month. It also means that three years ago we began a journey that should have taken 6-9 months. 36 months later and the journey has not ended and I don’t think it is even close to being over. In the last 36 months, jobs have changed, we’ve aged, our daughter is older, friendships have grown. Am I being selfish and pridefu...

Building Castles: A Day of Thinking......
http://buildingcastles-adoptionjourney.blogspot.com/2014/07/a-day-of-thinking.html
And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me. Matthew 18:5. Tuesday, July 22, 2014. A Day of Thinking. All day I've been thinking about what to write - what could I say that could sum up my thoughts on this "anniversary" date of our official wait. At times my thoughts are just my thoughts. I wonder if we are all alone on this journey. Do people even remember we are adopting? Do they even care? So many thoughts on this anniversary day. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Building Castles: February 2012
http://buildingcastles-adoptionjourney.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me. Matthew 18:5. Tuesday, February 21, 2012. One of the greatest strains in life is the strain of waiting on God" Oswald Chambers. I guess it is better late than never huh? I can't believe we are already into the middle of February. I hope this year so far has been kind to each one of you. 1) Remind yourself that your not alone. 2) Realize that the wait is active. 3) Let waiting strengthen your faith. 4) Count your blessings.
