Meet me here: In the Midst of the War
http://stutzmaniacs.blogspot.com/2014/01/in-midst-of-war.html
Tuesday, January 28, 2014. In the Midst of the War. I am two very different people. And they are at war with each other every day. One of them operates without the Spirit (flesh), while one is walking in the Spirit (Spirit-led). They bring me to drastically different responses to a variety of situations. The spirit ushers me to Jesus where I get more of Him. The flesh creates responses that cause separation from Him. The flesh seems a much easier and more readily available response. I have that look in m...

Saturday, October 27, 2012. DISCLAIMER: I am in no way saying that all should adopt and in no way am. I saying that having children by birth is wrong. This is simply a cry for the orphan and a voice that is often unheard. I have heard them, I have seen them, and I will remember. However, each time I hear someone talking about having baby fever, or hear such words from my own lips, my heart hurts a little bit. I hear Christ say, "what about the orphans? I remember when He first gave me 'orphan fever' and ...

Tuesday, May 29, 2012. I NEVER WANTED TO BE ADOPTED! She shouts at me with all the anger she could. I NEVER WANTED TO BE ADOPTED! Now back up three weeks. As she is yelling this at me as loud as she can, my response is:. I know baby, I know.". I said "come here", and she did. I hug her and ask her to go upstairs with me ask her if she wants to yell a bit and beat her pillow. I show her how. She then proceeds to beat her pillow weeping and saying "I never wanted to be adopted! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Meet me here: A New Place
http://stutzmaniacs.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-new-place.html
Saturday, January 18, 2014. We are getting close to four years since we first brought our 3 children home from Ethiopia. The memories of where we've been are still clear, but these years have been so hard and so crazy that it seems like a compilation of hard places. BUT GOD is not leaving me there. Is it because we said 'yes' to three children who are deeply wounded, or is it because I am expecting God to lead me from afar while he is asking me to walk closer to Him? Why am I afraid of my loving Father?

Monday, November 28, 2011. I have been thinking so much lately on the adoption of older children. What is so hard about it? Why is it so hard? Why do so many run from it? So many questions so many thoughts. So many statements people have said to me that break my heart. Here are some of my thoughts. Questions and statements I have thought on and want to write about. Is it easy to bond with an older child? Have you bonded with your new children? Will you guys ever adopt again? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monday, March 19, 2012. Thoughts after 2 yrs. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.". What precious, healing, beautiful, comforting words of Jesus). Two years. WHAT THE HECK, SERIOUSLY? We made it two years. God is so great, so faithful, so true. HE IS LOVE. I love this time of year because it triggers so many memories. First day with the children in Ethiopia:. And I love her! Two years ago God placed her in my lap as my daughter. I am so blessed! Back to our first days in Ethiopia:. Altho...
