Dreams Really do Come True!: Sighs of Relief
http://mandmadopt.blogspot.com/2008/03/sighs-of-relief.html
Saturday, March 29, 2008. Well the home visit is complete and we can now move forward again! First I'd like to say a BIG "thank you" to everyone who’s been sending us good vibes and asking about our home visit. It went very well and (as people tried to tell me) my worrying and stress was all pretty unnecessary. Just one of those lessons that can only be learned through personal experience I suppose. I feel happy, if exhausted. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Welcome to my blog! April 30, 2009:. From ...

Dreams Really do Come True!: Ten Years...
http://mandmadopt.blogspot.com/2009/05/ten-years.html
Sunday, May 10, 2009. I have waited for this day, my very first mother's day for ten years! Our son had amazing timing in our lives, not the least of which was his arrival only 12 short days before mother's day. I feel so incredibly blessed. Say to any of you, and I know that. I guess I just want you to know, that's all. To know that I haven't forgotten.and I won't forget that part of my journey. You are all in my thoughts and prayers today, and I'm wishing you peace. May 10, 2009 at 11:59 PM. I love you...

Ebony & Ivory: October 2013
http://dagerhart.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 29, 2013. After leaving BranchCreek, Amy and I took a few months to explore some of the other churches in the area. When you're in ministry, you don't really get to see what your brothers and sisters in your community are up to on Sunday morning, and we relished the oportunity to visit. I was amazed at the number of church plants that we found! Because the church met in the chapel of Biblical Seminary, our staff meetings were held in coffeshops and Wi-Fi cafes around town. Our "offic...

Ebony & Ivory: Open Hand
http://dagerhart.blogspot.com/2012/11/open-hand.html
Sunday, November 4, 2012. We recently had a message at church. Where they played a clip from the movie "Titanic." I hadn't seen the movie in years, and while the film is based on a tragedy, it never really affected me. But things are different now. I have kids. Watching the images of the passengers' panic to find room in the lifeboats, I found myself gripped with terror. In that moment, I felt their helplessness and fear as I thought, "What would I do? How would I protect my kids? Good He is ultimately i...

Ebony & Ivory: November 2012
http://dagerhart.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 25, 2012. I have three kids. It's a fact that I take for granted sometimes, but tonight as they were in the bathtub together, laughing and playing, it hit me that I have three kids. How in the world did I get here? How did I become that guy? Without question, the last 5 years have been life-changing. Having two kids in 2008. Another in 2010. Each one unexpected. Amazing. Traumatic. Overwhelming. And utterly euphoric! It was so much better. Sunday, November 4, 2012. But things are differe...

Ebony & Ivory: September 2011
http://dagerhart.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 24, 2011. New "Lease" on Life. SO maybe you noticed that the photo badge of our house disappeared from the bar to the right on the olod blog. Well, that's because we signed a one year lease last week, officially ending the "two mortgage" blues. It really couldn't have worked out better, because our tenants are a really nice family with two small children, and the house is just perfect for them! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Ebony & Ivory: Greener Pastures (literally!)
http://dagerhart.blogspot.com/2013/11/greener-pastures-literally.html
Thursday, November 14, 2013. We realized that our house–while beautiful–was just "stuff" and God would provide what we needed. I went through the formal application process and met with the staff and the board of MBIC, and it just seemed like a perfect fit! A great facility, lots of young families, lots of adopted kids, a contemporary service and a great staff. Not too big; not too small. Well it may come as no surprise, but that's excatly what happened! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Many Faces...
