I'm a married mother of "3 1/2" ;) and the loves of my life are my faith and my family. I've grown in my faith over the last two years since my daughter's adoption, she is the reason why I started this blog in the first place, and I'm so looking forward to watching God move in my heart, and the hearts of others who follow along on our journey towards bringing home one of "the least of these". Special needs adoption is my mission field, whether I'm adopting a child myself, or helping other families get funded, or shouting for waiting children who need families to find them, and I hope you'll come along for the ride and watch what God can accomplish when we say yes to His command to care for the orphan, and go out into the world to be His hands and feet.

The Small Things

When you look at this picture, what do you see?

The picture on the left is the first picture I ever saw of my daughter. The picture on the right, is my daughter in my arms. Same dress, same uber blonde hair, but look at her face! In one pic she looks almost confused...why am I sitting here, what is that contraption that's causing light to flash in my eyes and making clicking sounds?! In the other pic, well let me assure you she was having a BLAST. She had just completely ripped down my pony tail, made my head look like a rats nest, then when that got boring she decided to bop her daddy in the head with an inflatable hammer. Girlfriend was on cloud nine, and that smile proves it!

The biggest, most important difference between these 2 pictures...on the left she was an orphan, on the right she had a mommy who is head over heels in LOVE with her!!

That fact is going to to change her life forever! 

We are only about $1800 away from being fully funded, and just a few weeks away from heading back to see our princess again, will you help?

If you follow THIS LINK you'll be taken to my friends blog where she is hosting a baby shower for Kenzi! Instead of bottles and diapers and clothes, you can purchase one of her meals, or a chunk of her airfare or hotel stay! 

Like any GOOD baby shower, there are party favors!! As boxes get crossed out, names will be drawn to receive cool party favors like gift cards, handbags and accessories, and more!

I hope you'll take a peek, and I hope you'll join us for Kenzi's baby shower!
