Merry Christmas Friends! Sorry this is a day late but we have been enjoying some much needed family time. This was probably the best Christmas yet. God really put things in to perspective this year. We did not have much to give but we have great friends who are like a family to us and…

I wonder if you figured out by the title what you are already figuring out by looking at our support-o-meter. That’s right, WE HAVE OFFICIALLY REACHED 100% of OUR MONTHLY SUPPORT RAISED!

Who would have thought that a thin plastic tube with a hole in it would one day mean a small amount of freedom for me? For a couple of months I have struggled to get Evangeline to drink out of a sippy cup. She never really got the hang of it. I’d have to sit…

Now, we are faced with yet another move, and this time, we are REALLY getting rid of things. Every piece of furniture is going except for the crib, any excess clothes are being consigned. And my…

Just to let you know, we are doing very well. We have not updated our meter, but it looks like we are right around 76-77%. We’ll do the math later. It is our goal to be at 80% by Monday. We still have several days to accomplish this. However, we have no idea where it…

I’m writing this post to give glory to God. This past month has been difficult. Oh I wish that I could tell you that I had ULTIMATE, EXTREME, MOUNTAIN MOVING Faith, and it was because of that faith that you see that support-o-meter up to 74%, but I can’t. I have faith, but not enough…
