May is National foster care month!! *** dancing! *** Honestly, I feel tremendously honoured that we can call ourselves foster parents, and that we are in this new world called foster care. I also know that there are many foster and adoptive families out there who feel the same way. I'm dancing because even though… Continue reading Did You Know It’s National Foster Care Month?

~  It was just a pot of lentil soup. A pot of soup brought to us at a time when a new little human had just entered our home, and we were to busy and too tired to even think about putting together some dinner. ~ It was just a small bag of hand me… Continue reading All About Community

Yes! Jesus Loves You

March 12, 2018 thejourneycablogLeave a comment

The clock says 2:59 am, and I lay awake in the still, dark hours of the early morning and stare at this restless little human who needs more from a bottle. My eyes hurt, they are not focused, but I manage to feed him. He's being nourished, he's being cuddled and I'm so blessed to… Continue reading Yes! Jesus Loves You

The Call

It was just a regular day - finishing up school, cleaning up and then starting to bake cookies with the kids.

Patience in the Waiting

November 23, 2017 thejourneycablogLeave a comment

This past week has got me thinking. In our minds, we calculated that we would have had our foster baby by now (2 weeks ago to be exact). But we are still waiting, feeling more and more nervous and excited each day. Another form to be signed, another meeting to be held and just one… Continue reading Patience in the Waiting

Through The Training

November 7, 2017 thejourneycablog1 Comment

There were no stretch marks this time around, but definitely a few paper cuts! Normally, expecting a baby at this stage in the game, I would be 30 lbs heavier, not able to reach my feet and hurting every time I moved!  But this time around, there isn't any body changes going on other than,… Continue reading Through The Training

The Here And Now

October 24, 2017 thejourneycablogLeave a comment

I'm always amazed at how a messy and difficult situation or time can be turned into good. How brokenness can be turned into a beautiful thing. This isn't always the case though, I get that. I've walked both roads. But I believe the intention, God's intention, is to turn situations into something that is Grace… Continue reading The Here And Now
