The Fatherless




*Susanna and her new blessing- Katerina.




Please please please continue to pray for Susanna and her trip-- as well as ALL the children she has come in contact with this week.... I have been so anxiously waiting for all her updates...


And truth be told 2 nights ago I found myself looking BRIEFLY, heartbrokenly at Reece's Rainbow. ** Do not click on that unless you want your heart to be MOVED. Susanna's words sum it up perfectly....





"Reece’s Rainbow is not a catalog. The reason the children’s pictures are on that site is not because they need someone to coo over their pictures, or go browsing for the cutest one. Children’s pictures make it on to Reece’s Rainbow because they need life.

Just the fact that they are there is proof that God has intercepted Satan for their lives.

Now they are waiting for parents who will say “Yes,” to God, no matter what. They are waiting for life.

I am here, I am seeing the children, they are real people.

I held them in my own arms, kissed them, wept over them, tried
the best I could to pour love into them, could hardly give them back up, and
walk away. "



(I have no idea how I got there, truthfully).... but oh my did my heart ache when I was on there.... When Jason came down for work, I told him briefly of all the children on there and how precious they were...and how terrible their conditions are (living conditions)....and said "but I know we have our hands VERY full right now...." to which he agreed....but then I said-- but you know even as busy as our home is and FULL-- we could truely provide a child with a MUCH better life than they have now..... it is one of those things-- I think-- we think our hands our full (and they are) but God can make a way if it IS his WAY!?!


Woke up this morning with this blog post on my reader-- Give Them a Heart for the Fatherless.




Whatever the outcome-- I want to commit to pray for these dear children and families I know that are pursing adoption. (it seems there are quite a few right now on my Large Family board).

Laine's Letters

3 Years, it has been 3 years since I have updated this blog. Hoping to continue to journal our happenings. First I wanted to leave a link for Laine's Letters. Oh my these letters have been SOOOOO  encouraging to me like NOTHING else. She inspired me to spend my morning with the Lord, waiting on Him, listening to Him. She inspired me to love my husband and put him right after the Lord She inspired me to raise and love and train my children in many areas And lastly she even touched on keeping my home, to bring honor to the Lord. I want to come back (SOON) and print these off and put them in a binder for each of my daughters.   Hoping that one day these letters will inspired them as well. Laine's Letters archives

Immigrant 1880-1914 food budget

So we went on a mini field trip this weekend to the Johnstown Flood Museum and then to the Heritage Center -- "Through Immigrant Eyes, tells a national story in a local context. It captures the imaginations of visitors through its innovative use of interactive media. Rather than simply looking at artifacts, you'll actually experience the sights, sounds and even the smells of immigrants' daily lives, and come away with a more complete understanding of the sacrifices and achievements of these Americans in the making. As you enter, you'll choose a card with a photo of one of eight immigrant characters, who are fictional composites based on historical facts. You then experience the daily life of that character as you tour the museum. " Well the "foodie" in me-- found a few sights VERY interesting.... the entire center was very interesting.... but-- in 1880-1914 these were some signs we saw.... "It was terribly hard work, and we lived poorly, But we ate ...

Day Book

The best way to get back in (for me) is a Day Book. I'm not sure if they even still have a "Simple Woman's Day Book" or not, but I always enjoyed them. Daybook for the week of June 12, 2016 Picture for the week........                                                The birthday boy -  He turned 12 on Saturday-- ( this picture is from Thanksgiving though, I haven't down loaded my phone pictures yet though.  ) Outside my window..... Things are green, and showers today have made my garden very happy I am thinking..... About starting in with some school for the kids next week. About dipping our feet in with some potty training. About the how very deep the spiritual side of adoption is, and how constant. I am thankful for..... ...
