A story about the limitless grace of God as we journey through life as an adoptive family. Tuesday, December 6, 2011. I believe that the timing of these lessons has everything to do with our adoption. I have had people tell me, "Well, you've got 4 kids already.what's one more? I get it so much better now. Redemption is costly; it is messy; the weeks and even months and sometimes years. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Current time in Ethiopia. Our family.complete with our Ethiopian beauty!

The Journey Home: Oh, but for grace
http://travisadoption.blogspot.com/2012/01/oh-but-for-grace.html
A story about the limitless grace of God as we journey through life as an adoptive family. Saturday, January 21, 2012. Oh, but for grace. I think I may be getting sick! I made a big mistake and today feels hard. When I backed into Mom's car, I received something I clearly did not deserve: grace. This grace freely and lovingly given? Isn't this what I've done for the past 20 years of my walk with Christ? Myself. Surely He must be using this as an object lesson for me. Accept grace. Breathe it ...And I rem...

A story about the limitless grace of God as we journey through life as an adoptive family. Monday, August 13, 2012. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. One of the greatest blessings in my life is when the living, breathing, Word of God speaks to me. I have had the privilege of walking with the Lord Jesus for 20 years now, and I will. I was working through my Bible study this morning and this is what it said concerning this verse:. My husband and I are in a new seaso...

A story about the limitless grace of God as we journey through life as an adoptive family. Thursday, May 17, 2012. Learning to Live in the Truth. This mama can sometimes wonder if her life is amounting to much of anything. What difference can I be making as I wash, hang, and fold 11 loads of laundry this week? Or fight my way through 400 strawberries to make jam for the year? Or tend a garden? Or cook 3 meals a day every day? Or school my children? Or love my husband? The Lord has taught me something ove...

A story about the limitless grace of God as we journey through life as an adoptive family. Friday, December 7, 2012. It has been a looonnngggg time since I've taken the time to sit and write down my thoughts in this blog. Oh, it's not that I haven't thought about it often, it's just that actually finding the time to sit down at this computer is nearly impossible. This morning, though, I was gently guided by His loving hand to a truth in Scripture that I just HAD to record. The old has gone, the new has c...

A story about the limitless grace of God as we journey through life as an adoptive family. Wednesday, May 9, 2012. Sweet Biruk Abigail,. You have been here for 8 months and I really can't believe it!

A story about the limitless grace of God as we journey through life as an adoptive family. Friday, October 26, 2012. Learning in the midst of living. The art of life is learning how to turn and see a certain way. I knit brows over kids yelling, and when did I start thinking serenity was something that I owned, that peace was something I had property rights to — and that I’d been straight out robbed if I lost a bit of peace and quiet? And I touch the edge of things. —. When I do this? But reading this on ...

Explain to her that we were coming back in just a couple of hours, but she was having none of it. I had to leave her behind, crying in her room. I had NO appetite for lunch; I just wanted to stay with her! The first day with her has been awesome. I have to get off this computer.sorry for the length of the blog but I wanted to at least fill you in a little bit! Tuesday, August 16, 2011.
