Encouraging and equipping moms to parent with God's grace and confidence.

Pretty in Pink


As I look at my beautiful little girl that is getting so big, I’m overwhelmed with thankfulness that she is ours. Today I was captured by her pretty-in-pink cuteness, her contagious joy and her sweet smile. WOW! The difference we see in her from the day we met her at the orphanage is remarkable.

Watching the devastation in Haiti and knowing thousands of children are without a home, without a mommy or daddy, without food, without anything – is breaking my heart. Tonight we heard on the news that there is a proposal being considered to allow children orphaned in Haiti to come to the US and be cared for while they wait to find their family or be adopted by another.

This touches a raw spot in our hearts, and we can’t stop talking about how thankful we are that Aster is home, safe with us.

There are so many wonderful families who would love to give a home and their hearts to these children who are orphans. I was covered in goose bumps from head to toe as we listened to the story, and the possibility of hope for their future. At one point JJ asked if we should consider adopting one of them. My mom started breathing deeply, so we dropped the subject. For now, we’ll do what we can…send money and pray for these children. We know you join us in that. And again, we thank you so much for all of your beautiful prayers for our little one too!!!

  2. 300 children were/are suppose to come to Indiana through Safe Families and for sure be adopted. Maybe those are ones that they know the parents didn't make it.

  7. Renee,

    Thank you so much for your speedy reply. I appreciate it. I, too, will study "reward" in the Bible as we seek what to do. We have a 3.5 year old and a 15 month old and want to start off right with character!

    Thanks again,
    Jen
