Do not neglect
There was a time over twelve years ago that I cried out to God for just one baby. That crying out lasted four long years, (in other words, infertility is horrible!)

The Messy, The Awkward and The Beautiful of Foster Care

Don't we tend to do this?..... something goes very wrong, your life isn't what you expected it to be, or… Continue reading A Reason For Your Journey
Dad….. On the journey
Please enjoy this great post by my husband! He will be popping on here regularly every month, so stay tuned! Do men who love kids go around talking about how much they love kids? ... Probably not. That’s probably creepy. Not like that time I sported a bad moustache, aviator sun glasses and a t-shirt… Continue reading Dad….. On the journey
