"Once our eyes are opened, we cannot pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act." Proverbs 24:12
"Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They are easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they're not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes."~ David Platt

About Me
Welcome to my blog! Grab a cup of coffee and make yourself at home, while I tell you a little bit about myself.
I was raised a city girl, who is now living in the country, I have the best job in the world; being the Mama of 6 wonderful kids, 3 conceived in my womb, and 3 conceived in my heart. I am an advocate for the unborn, who believes in protecting the sanctity of life and although I am a sinner and often fail, I am saved by Grace. I try daily to live according to my Creator's Word.
I am also a firm believer in traditional marriages, the way God intended us to be. I'm married to my best friend, whom I happen to be madly in love with. I love sharing about our amazing God. He has changed my life and rocked my world. I lived many years without Him, and would never want to go back to that life!
I couldn't ask for a better life filled with lots of kids, an adoring husband, chaos, laughter and more love than you can imagine! That's my life....and I love it!

Ohilda, girl that put me too tears. I added it to my fb page. Thanks so much for sharing that.
hugs,
Sherri
That was very good.
Many of our friends have adopted children who were destined for the streets and prostitution, from various countries, including this one.
One girl was adopted in the nick of time when she was fifteen, the following year she would have been turned out of the orphanage and made to make her own way with no one in her life and no help to start an "adult" life. I am very thankful for those who adopt and we love to help and support them in many ways.
WOW! You have NO idea how much I needed to see that today. I am amazed at how God speaks to us and gives us signs that we are on the right path.
I cannot share everything just yet, but I just wanted to say thank you for posting this today of all days.
Mandi
thank you SO much for sharing that!
May need to add that to my blog. I have missed ya sista!!!
Wow...powerful...got my good cry in for the day.
Madeleine standing here and asks, "Mom, why DON'T more people adopt? They talk about it but why don't they just DO it?"
Hmmmmmmmmmm.
What an amazing truth!!!!
It literally put me to my knees in prayer for these children who need and have a inherent right to a family!!
