A Single Mom's Journey: February 2010
http://conceivedinprayer.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
A Single Mom's Journey. Conceived in prayer, born of my heart. Thursday, February 25, 2010. Apparently Tiger Woods broke his marriage vows. Repeatedly. And the world is fascinated by this news, which initially perplexed me a little. It's not as if Tiger is the first celebrity, sports hero, or famous person to cheat. Far from it. The list is long but includes names familiar to all of us. So why is everyone so fixated on Tiger's cheating ways? I have a theory. For my part, instead of engaging in the all-te...

A Single Mom's Journey: March 2010
http://conceivedinprayer.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
A Single Mom's Journey. Conceived in prayer, born of my heart. Friday, March 26, 2010. And then there was . . . . Last night, at bedtime, Seth proclaimed, "No Work." It's coming! Pray on, warriors! Thursday, March 25, 2010. He speaks - a little :). Don't come to me without solutions! YOU are the therapists! I was frustrated after the meeting and felt like it didn't go well. A three word sentence! And man, it's not easy to go to work after. So my take away? Wednesday, March 24, 2010. For as long as I can ...

A Single Mom's Journey: July 2010
http://conceivedinprayer.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
A Single Mom's Journey. Conceived in prayer, born of my heart. Friday, July 23, 2010. Cutest blog on the block is apparently discontinuing all of their blog designs (strange) so I got notice on both of my blogs that the background would "disappear" on Friday. While I wasn't planning to launch for a few weeks yet, I figured this was a good time to kick off our new blog: http:/ chosen-1s.blogspot.com/. Chosen Ones. I hope you'll enjoy seeing us over there. I won't be posting here any more. Have mercy, Lord!

A Single Mom's Journey: October 2009
http://conceivedinprayer.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
A Single Mom's Journey. Conceived in prayer, born of my heart. Wednesday, October 21, 2009. Have you ever noticed how easy it is to praise the Lord when we get our way? Or when prayers are answered with "yes"? The real test of our faith is whether we can (and do) praise Him when it doesn't go our way or results in pain or suffering rather than celebration. I've been praying with fervor about Seth and his surgeries and his issues. And God is systematically answering all of my prayers (and yours too! I wil...

A Single Mom's Journey: Why adopt?
http://conceivedinprayer.blogspot.com/2010/07/why-adopt.html
A Single Mom's Journey. Conceived in prayer, born of my heart. Wednesday, July 14, 2010. I was recently reading a blog (imagine that) and one particular statement stuck out to me. The author said something along the lines of the following:. Saving" or "rescuing" an orphan happens in an instant; parenting an orphan. I love that. It. And what fun that adventure can be! It's these faces that make it all worth it. I love this post its so true just get out there and do something for the orphan! For wholeness ...

A Single Mom's Journey: January 2010
http://conceivedinprayer.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
A Single Mom's Journey. Conceived in prayer, born of my heart. Wednesday, January 27, 2010. Word of God Speak. After that call from Noreen, I found myself talking to God a lot about what this next baby "should" be like. That didn't include any special needs. I also thought to myself that I would decline any babies that might have needs and wait for the "normal" child. Hmmm. Why isn't Seth enough? That God wanted to smite the Israelites for their so-called rubber necks, more specifically what I would call...

A Single Mom's Journey: June 2010
http://conceivedinprayer.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
A Single Mom's Journey. Conceived in prayer, born of my heart. Tuesday, June 29, 2010. I was inspired reading No Greater Mom's story about their daughter who does not speak. (See her blog on the right margin.) No, Seth was never in an orphanage. No, he was not abused nor hurt in anyway. I was blessed to have him straight from the delivery nurse's arms. But nevertheless, as I've written, he has some little issues. I got a note from his Occupational Therapist yesterday that read as follows:. I have had som...

A Single Mom's Journey: It's time
http://conceivedinprayer.blogspot.com/2010/07/its-time.html
A Single Mom's Journey. Conceived in prayer, born of my heart. Monday, July 19, 2010. I'm itchy. It's time for Betty (or possibly, Leah Grace Elizabeth) to be home. Home, already. Cocktail, not just any cocktail. I'm itchy because Seth wants to know where Betty is and "Uganda" doesn't really explain it to him. I'm itchy because it's summer and oh what fun we would have if she were here! I'm itchy because I'm not even fingerprinted or USCIS approved yet. I'm itchy! Have mercy, Lord! Betty is SO precious!

A Single Mom's Journey: HIV Facts
http://conceivedinprayer.blogspot.com/2010/07/hiv-facts.html
A Single Mom's Journey. Conceived in prayer, born of my heart. Saturday, July 10, 2010. As I've continued to research, I have come across the following facts or quotes which are my new favorites:. Children living with HIV in parts of the world with easy access to good health care, and HIV medications (AKA Antiretroviral medications, ARVs, and HAART or Highly Active Antiretoviral Therapy) have an excellent prognosis. Since HAART. 93 deaths every DAY in car accidents1 - 4 every HOUR. 15 deaths from lighten...

A Single Mom's Journey: December 2009
http://conceivedinprayer.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
A Single Mom's Journey. Conceived in prayer, born of my heart. Thursday, December 31, 2009. There is a phrase in the adoption community, "Born of my heart," which is intended to capture the miracle of adoption. Pretty good, right? Yep, you guessed it. New blog; new and improved family! I'm so excited I can't stop the tears even as I write this. YAY! This time, Noreen will have my profile by the second week of January 2010. And then she said a prayer for me right there. The very next day, another friend s...
