As my friend Denise would say, “OH MY WORD!” the Oklahoma weather has been crazy good lately. All the windows open, walk to the farmers market, outdoor thrift shopping, picnic table dinner good…so, so good! If there was one thing I would really love to do in this weather it would be to take a…
So I recently did my first ever “corporate” sponsorship at a golf tournament. Funny thing is usually sponsors do it for the advertising or tax write-off – I did it for neither. My hubby and an incredible team of others put on the first ever adopt[ed] golf tournament. They did a fantastic job. Along with…

Thanks for the comments on my hair! I cut 8 inches – it was wonderful to see it all on the salon floor. It’s usually wavy not straight…too much time to straighten it!
I LOVE YOUR HAIR!!!!!

LOVE that answer : )
I always seem to be given great opportunities to talk about adoption and today was one of those great moments. Got to pour my heart out about my kiddos and the beauty of God’s heart in adoption.
I am glad the golf tour went so well. I am proud of TCABC’s adoption ministry.
I also rejoice with the Woods over their son. I would have liked to seen the cardboard take you all did…
Have a beautiful weekend.

I was reading a friend’s blog and he challenged his readers to share how an orphan has changed your life. I love that idea for many reasons, but one of the biggest for me is to get to share about a little girl who never had a mom or dad go on and on about…

Oh my goodness…I started to cry just reading this. I often think of the lost, lonely children of the world and my heart breaks for them. But, seeing the original date of this post…Aug 2009…I realized that little Sabina is the same age as my own daughter, Sabrina. Lord, please protect Sabina!!
Just read this and am in tears. Praying for Sabrina today.
Thank you for sharing!
What an amazing story. Thank you for sharing it with us. I also pray that she has found a forever family and she is sure of their love and that they embrace her strong spirit. She is beautiful.
I will pray for Sabina!
Praying for Sabina — and hoping that one day you would meet again.
Praying with you for her!

Yes, I have tears in my eyes. What a beautiful girl, and I pray that God saved her from that hard road. I also pray that somehow you might get to find out where she is. I have 4 beautiful “used to be orphans” in my home that have totally changed my life! It makes me overwhelmed to think of where they could have been and where they can be now…….thanks for sharing!
Ashley,
Okay…so you said Kazakhstan and I had to comment. What a beautiful story and a beautiful little girl. Those Kazakh kids are all knockouts. Do you remember what city you were in?
And…we adopted a baby girl, Lyla Dawn, when she was only 2 days old. We haven’t updated the blog yet, but will soon. She is beautiful and has totally got me (Aaron) wrapped around her finger at only 6 weeks. Your little girl is beautiful! God is good.
