Wednesday, April 27, 2011. We got an email last night with the official approval! Now we wait again to be contacted by the Ethiopia Program Director, who will guide us through the next steps! We are also cleared to begin the home study process, so we will be calling our social worker today to set up our first meeting. The home study segment of the process is approximately $1650, so we will also be working our butts off to scrimp, save and fundraise! Tuesday, April 26, 2011. Money Money Money Money. M: Do...

April 27, 2012. 8220;All joy…emphasizes our pilgrim status; always reminds, beckons, awakens desire. Our best havings are wantings.”. Perhaps it sounds like in my wanting,. I’m not enjoying the having. But that’s just not true. In fact, it’s BECAUSE of the having. That the sweet, stabbing pain in my heart of wanting. Is so poignant and strong. It is because I know, even in the most wonderful moments of living, something more awaits. Something that haunts me, reminding me that I was made for more. YouR...

If I Hear Momma One More Time…. January 14, 2013. I remember the first time I heard Isaac say, “Momma.” I was changing his diaper and he looked at me, smiled his big, sweet, goofy smile and whispered it. I was certain I had turned into a puddle of mush right then and there. I will carry that moment with me, God willing, for the rest of my life. So, why is it that now, when he tugs on pants, crying, saying, “Up, Momma! When I hurt, I cry, “Papa! 8221; When I’m lost and lonely, I cry, “Papa! When I’m...

February 23, 2010. It’s taken me a while to gather my thoughts about how to write this blog post. I’ve had to ponder what I’m comfortable with sharing, for all the world to see, and pare down the uncomfortabilities. I’m hoping, for the most part, to get a dialogue started. So, here goes:. I struggle with depression. And I’m not talking about the every day blues. I’m talking about blackness. I’m bringing this to light for 3 reasons:. Now, I want you to know a few things. First, I used to take medicati...

The Story of Isaac Christopher: Part 3 June 1, 2012. When we last left off, what was next was telling our parents. Because we found out I was preggers so close to Mother’s Day, we thought, “Well, hell! We can keep out mouths shut until then! 8221; But crap-it was hard! Since I talk to my mom pretty regularly, I essentially stopped calling her and when she called me, I said about 3 words. I’m sure she thought I was being a turd but whatevs! How We Did It: Telling My Mom and Grams. Well, we had them over f...

Books to Read in 2010 [Dana’s Edition]. January 25, 2010. I have a running list of books in my head that I want to make my way through over an unannounced span of time; however, I tend to forget which ones made my list (which is rather bothersome) or get distracted by the latest, soft cover that’s inched its way into my hands. To refresh my love for it). Hell, anything by Ray Bradbury is brilliant but I find this book particularly prophetic.). One of the most thought-provoking fictional books I’ve ...
