Wednesday’s Child: Toni & Leitrai

February 13, 2019

Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .

A gift and a challenge || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from December 2008.

December 21, 2018

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from December 2008. I woke up to a gift in my email inbox this morning - some amazing new photos of Keanan. My blogger-friend Jamie Ivey and her hubby are in Haiti visiting their own kids who are waiting to come home, and they took some amazing shots of our little boy. It is such a treat to see pictures of him and hear reports of how happy he is. It makes the waiting so much easier. Thank you, Jamie!! Jamie's husband Aaron wrote some . . .

Fear, Faith, and Motherhood || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from December 2008.

December 13, 2018

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from December 2008. I was directed to a blog post this morning at girl talk and it really spoke to me. The author was asked if she could parent her daughters all over again, what she would do differently. Her response: "While I am aware of numerous ways I would want to be a better mom, one thing stands out far ahead of the rest.  I wish I had trusted God more. For every fearful peek into the future, I wish I had looked to Christ . . .

The Asthmatics || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from November 2008.

November 29, 2018

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from November 2008. No, this isn't the name of a new emo band. Jafta and I are, unfortunately, the asthmatics. Asthma is a weird thing. For us, it's something I totally forget about all spring and summer. Every year I think, wow, Jafta's asthma is totally gone! And then fall hits, and we are back to negotiating with the nebulizer. (Jafta watching Baby Einstein with his nebulizer at 7 months old) Having grown up with asthma, I know how . . .
