WONDERFUL Sermon At James River Yesterday!!!


Pastor John did a super sermon yesterday and I wish I could have heard it in person! Please take time to listen to it at some point. He is going through James now (he picks a book and goes through it verse by verse and it takes about four years with every book--amazing). He hit on just the first part of James 1:27 today and it was super. Everyone should hear it. . .adoptive parents and everyone!

We were looking into a Rwanda adoption and are totally new to this. I am looking for ideas for fundraising and any advice. We live in a town of 5,000 in WI and my husband is the police chief here. We attend a small local church. Thanks and God Bless!

Hey Jamie! The last time I tried to officially congratulate you on your new son my internet connection was bad, so I've been keeping up with the news, but am just now commenting. CONGRATULATIONS on Jean De Dieu!!!!! I'm so excited for you and for this blessed little guy who is now part of your family!! I'm praying for you, for the details, and for his adjustment. God has big things in store! I can't wait to see them play out!

What a great sermon! We love JRA and listening to Pastor Lindell. We attend Park Crest Assembly here in Springfield and are in the beginning stages of the research and gathering information on adoption. I'm just now finding your blog via a few others I've been following, but I'm anxious to read about your family and how God brought everyone together. Have a blessed week!

The Grief of a Stepmom

The grief of a stepmom.  This post has had so many titles:  The Invisible Grief of a Stepmom, The Silent Grief of a Stepmom, The Lonely Grief of a Stepmom. . . the grief of a stepmom is like no other grief because it feels so homeless. My stepson died a few weeks ago.   Marc and I have only been married eight months and Mackay, my stepson, lived in NYC and we rarely got to see him (he didn't get to come to the wedding or Cabo and didn't stay with us when he came to town), so I didn't have much of a relationship with him.  So there is a weird layer of loosing someone I hardly knew and I feel like that is the layer that makes the most sense to everyone.   While the family was mourning, I was the one organizing all of the meals coming in from our wonderful friends and neighbors, I was cleaning up one meal and setting up for the next.  I was keeping the house in order and making sure Marc was able to surround himself with the friends and family he needed to make it through the

Should've Said No. . . ?

Andy proposed during a curtain call of Me and My Girl , a musical in which he played an old man who went most of his life without telling the woman he loved that he loved her... Twenty-three years ago today Andy asked me to marry him. . . .  he was my best friend and I thought he was the love of my life.  Should I have said no? I don't know how many times I have now been asked a version of that question in the past couple of years and I cannot count the number of times I have asked myself that question over the past decade, but it is a dumb question with no great answer. If I would have said no 23 years ago, I would have saved myself from so many tears and so much pain, but I would have missed so much laughter and so many exciting firsts and I would be such a different person. . . . Because of this day, 23 years ago, I am who I am and I have so much to be thankful for. Because of this day, 23 years ago, I have five of the best kids on the planet.  They are t

Mother's Day Thoughts

I've been feeling so many Mother's Day feels this weekend.  For starters, my big kids came home to surprise me and that was the most wonderful thing!  I remember Mother's Day 2017 when I cried because Hays was a Senior in high school and heading to Texas A&M and I thought it would be my last Mother's Day with my five all together. . . . and yesterday proved those tears unnecessary!  And then, as if that wasn't more than I could ever wish for, Marc spoiled me like I have never been spoiled before.  I am consistently blown away and humbled by how much he appreciates me and shows me his appreciation with words, gifts, acts of service and more.  I am so grateful for this husband of mine and the way he loves me and shows our kids what selfless love is supposed to look like! But even before yesterday, I've been thinking a lot about all of the different dimensions of motherhood I now experience and it is shaping me into a new and stronger and more compassionate and
