live the life: Warmth
http://troyandkellyadopt.blogspot.com/2013/02/warmth.html
Thursday, February 14, 2013. I've been busy in a slow sort of way. Looking around me, I see evidence of planning for what is ahead. Projects in the making, works in progress, at every corner. I am finally getting to Clare's wall hanging. I love it and I cherish the thought that I will be able to to pass it to a granddaughter someday. We've had our share of water issues this past year but I am happy to say I think everything has been resolved today, including a blue problem. In fear of our skin turnin...

live the life: September 2012
http://troyandkellyadopt.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 12, 2012. I want the absolute best for my children. I want them to have a patient mother who takes things in stride. Thinks before she speaks. Listens intently. I want them to feel safe, to know whatever they do they will be loved in return. Why is it that while I feel so strongly about these things, I still get impatient? It's difficult to wrestle with the dichotomy of have/have not. It can't be tidied up and tucked away in a labeled box. It messes with my head. It kicks...This Satu...

live the life: January 2013
http://troyandkellyadopt.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 21, 2013. I dreamed a dream. Today is the day for remembering dreams. People’s dreams change the world. Their dreams become the realities that make us see things differently. Their dreams become the songs that inspire us, the buildings that impress us, the books that transform us. Their dreams are the fuel I have lived on for most of my adult life. But then you and I must ask ourselves, “ What are our dreams? Dare we speak them or harder still, share them? I wrote my dreams down once.

live the life: July 2012
http://troyandkellyadopt.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 30, 2012. SO, I’ll go ahead and tell you–if you plan to adopt…put that seatbelt on…. I have heard it before.things start to break when you have both feet going down the adoption route. A few months ago, our frig broke, then the well pump needed to be repaired, then the water softener went and the tractor broke. Then just recently, our neighbor's tree fell on the trampoline and left a huge mess for us to tend to. But I remind myself. Monday, July 16, 2012. Our vacations in Georgia keep gettin...

live the life: November 2012
http://troyandkellyadopt.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 12, 2012. I Walk the Line. The biggest hang-up for me (and sometimes still is) of joining a Protestant church is not having to pray through a priest and determining how I am comfortable worshiping. Three years ago when we tried our new church we felt odd. We felt like it wasn't reverant enough, too casual. Where were the robes, organ and holy water? Where were we supposed to kneel? We should have rules. Here people, and there certainly shouldn't be any hand clapping or hand raising.

live the life: Be Quiet
http://troyandkellyadopt.blogspot.com/2013/03/be-quiet.html
Saturday, March 2, 2013. I've been looking forward - for a very long time - to telling about adoption. I had planned on the introduction being full of lots of exclaimation points to all the wonderful words that adoption evoke for us: Love! If we spend our entire life waiting, so let it be. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). If given the choice of whether to give in to fear or to give in to hope…Give in to hope. You never know what you might give “birth” to. 8220;To hope is to gamble.

live the life: New Year, New Me
http://troyandkellyadopt.blogspot.com/2013/01/new-year-new-me.html
Thursday, January 3, 2013. New Year, New Me. And now with the luxury of looking back I can set some order to what it was. Perhaps it's this planning in reverse, as though the year were all intentional, that puts me at ease at the beginning of each new year. No medication, no pain. I am sleeping good and I feel like a new person. How unbelievable is that? May 2013 bring you all of your heart's desires, even in the smallest doses. I hope that you will be given all that you need to feel comfort in what ...
