Brody’s 1st Birthday- A Baseball Party

by gidget adoption

Well, since Brody’s first birthday happened to fall during MLB’s Opening Week, we thought it was only appropriate (especially for our family) to do an Opening Day baseball theme. My brother cooked up a sweet logo from the official MLB one, and the rest is history. {I added a thank-you line to it to use [...]

Gratitude….

by gidget gratitude

Little (and not-so-little) things I’m so thankful for right now… Our brand new stove that was delivered yesterday, replacing the 30+ year old version we had. The 5 minutes that the sun peeked out yesterday. My Friday morning Women’s Discipleship group and Friday night Jazz in the Park. All the bloggy encouragement I’ve received this [...]

His Word in My Heart: June 2010

by gidget faith

I picked this verse because it’s such a good reminder of how to find contentment everyday. Brody’s early morning schedule is giving me some great time with the Lord these days, and I’m trying to really be more aware of my prayer life (more on that coming soon!) and making it a priority. I was [...]

His Word in My Heart: April 2010

by gidget adoption

My friend Heidi and her husband are in Africa right now, picking up their new son Ezekiel from Rwanda. This was a verse {Habakkuk 2:3} she posted on her blog recently and it really spoke to me. God truly has given us a vision of adoption. Our hearts have been forever changed through being on [...]

His Kingdom vs. The World

Wow. I just came across an amazing post I had to share. I think I found it via someone on Twitter, but I’m not even sure now. Please go read it, and then I’d love to hear your thoughts on it. I absolutely love how she makes a distinction between happiness and contentment, because I [...]

Encyclopedia of Me: A

by gidget adoption

A is for Adoption Right now, the only word that comes to mind for the letter A has to be adoption. It’s a pretty consuming topic around these parts. We think often about our baby that will someday join our family, and try to wait patiently for the Lord’s timing. I feel like everywhere we [...]

All I Want For My Birthday is Our Baby

by gidget adoption

I’ve been updating and adding to my wish list lately. Because soon, I’ll be 29 (A couple of months ago, I honestly had to stop and think whether I was turning 30 this year or not. It took a minute to remember I wasn’t. One more year in my 20s!). I think having a winter [...]
