We are SO VERY GRATEFUL to all of you who have been so generous to purchase t-shirts, coffee, and puzzle pieces.  You will never know what impact this has had on our family. God has certainly shown up and shown out through all of you :))

  1. How fascinating to see it all written like this. Seems like it's been FOREVER & it's AMAZING that it's been a year almost to the date that God spoke to yal. A true testament that we NEVER know what God has in store for us IF we are obedient. Makes me wonder just how many blessings I've missed along the way. I can't wait to meet Naomi & see her running around with all these boys in the neighborhood! God is Good!
