ONE This photo represents such a sweet and peaceful morning after a long, crazy and worry filled week. On this particular morning, I sat with my Bible open and let God's truth sink deep into my heart. There is so much uncertainty in our life right now; but there's One who I'm always certain of. I felt His peace sitting on my front porch step. I wasn't worried about the decisions, diagnosis or the days ahead. Jackson took my hand, drug me out to the driveway and shouted, "mom, mom, Continue Reading
FRIDAY FAVORITES
I'm trying something new this week. I love reading Mix and Match Mama's weekly list of favorite things. She links up with a few friends each Friday to share some fun stuff. I want to have a little more fun on my blog. Sure, I'll still write about faith, motherhood, adoption and Apraxia. Those topics are near and dear to my heart, but I don't want to be so serious all the time. I want to share fun things that make me happy. So here's my first FRIDAY FAVORITES post...

Five Reasons Fall’s My Favorite
That Feeling I wish I had words to adequately describe the feeling I get every year. It's my favorite feeling in the world - the promise of Fall as the last moments of summer fade away.

When You’re Weary
Life with Apraxia is a marathon (not a sprint). Jackson's been in speech therapy since he was 18-months-old (he will be four in December) and it wasn't until August that we really started seeing big strides in his speech. God promises that our lives will produce fruit when we entrust our stories to Him. But the process can be messy. Jackson's speech has improved tremendously, but this is reality: we're on a difficult road and there's not an end in sight. October was a hard month for Continue Reading
