From God to Ghana: God's redeeming love
http://fromgodtoghana.blogspot.com/2012/09/gods-redeeming-love.html
Friday, September 21, 2012. A little over two years ago, I stepped off an airplane for the very first time onto Ghanaian soil. From day one it just felt "right". It felt normal and I felt at place. And I was broken for little ones that needed love, that needed hugs, that needed me to just be. Of course, with each of our adopted children, but also with our biological ones. We will always have struggles, but they will never be bigger than our God. He is greater than all of them. ALL OF THEM....My name i...

From God to Ghana: December 2011
http://fromgodtoghana.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 6, 2011. Remind Me Who I Am - Jason Gray. We were given free tickets to Andrew Peterson's BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD concert last night. What an amazing blessing! So Sydney, Keenan and I went while Dad kept the three little kids at home. The first half of the concert was everyone playing two of their own songs. As the 2nd guy stood up and started playing, I recognized one of my favorite songs. (I am horrible at remembering who plays what and the names of songs.). Monday, December 5, 2011.

From God to Ghana: January 2012
http://fromgodtoghana.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 22, 2012. Wow, what a week! Bless' malaria became quickly better with many thanks to each of you for praying for our little guy. Then, on Friday we read the words we had been waiting for: Your petition for Bless and Joseph has been approved! We have I600 approval for our sweet sons. Now we wait for a visa packet pick up appointment. This can only be done on Wednesdays so our prayer is we can do that this week. Another HUGE step closer to our boys and bringing them home! Seriously, though,...

From God to Ghana
http://fromgodtoghana.blogspot.com/2012/04/yesterday-it-hit-me.html
Wednesday, April 25, 2012. Yesterday it hit me. The reality of stepping out in faith. The reality of 7 children and a husband who just followed Jesus out of the corporate world to care for the fatherless of the world. Trust Complete trust. That's where we stand. Obedience. Complete obedience. That's where we want to be. Yes, that is what we are called. We brought four beautiful children home from Africa in 15 months and people think we are crazy. My perspective? Words of reassurance. Words of peace&#...

From God to Ghana: "I am forever changed"
http://fromgodtoghana.blogspot.com/2012/04/i-am-forever-changed.html
Saturday, April 28, 2012. I am forever changed". Two years ago today, our oldest daughter, Sydney, refused to eat pizza. And we were forever changed. She asked for just bread and water and God changed our whole family. She had a goal of raising $500 and God raised much, much more than that. God took the vision of a 10 year old girl and used it for His glory and developed a non-profit ministry. How thankful I am! Then, help FEEDING THE ORPHANS. To make a difference in the life of ONE. November 10, 2011 - ...

From God to Ghana: March 2012
http://fromgodtoghana.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 8, 2012. And we are home! A little over a year ago, God spoke that two little boys in Ghana were to be my sons. They would be forever mine, BUT it would come with a fight. He specifically told me we would fight for our boys and their story would be for HIS GLORY! In steps this young couple asking if they could help us carry our bags. Um, yes, you can! As the man watched us try to get Joseph to stand unsuccessfully he asked if he could just carry him. Um, yes, that would be great! After ge...

From God to Ghana: May 2012
http://fromgodtoghana.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 20, 2012. As I woke, I realized it was my Mother's Day as a mama to 7 beautiful, wonderful treasures. My heart was full and I knew it would be an amazing day. We loaded into the car set for a new church that morning and I had no idea the blessing I would receive that day! Every adult child, every adoptive parent, anyone involved in adoption could go forward, take a red rose provided and lay it on the stage in honor of the birth mother who sacrificed so much.

From God to Ghana: A Dream
http://fromgodtoghana.blogspot.com/2011/03/dream.html
Thursday, March 17, 2011. Little did I know, God was writing a story so remarkable, so incredible that I couldn't even begin to imagine it. That precious baby would be ours and He would use my friend to lead me to him! March 18, 2011 at 9:58 AM. This has touched my heart! Please pray for us, we are searching. Praying for clarity on what Father would have regarding the potential of us adopting from Ghana. June 6, 2011 at 5:47 PM. Praying for you as He leads you to your child(ren)! June 15, 2011 at 12:37 PM.
