One Sought Me Walk 2014

One Sought Me Walk Event is back!  Last year friends of ours rallied around us to help raise funds for our adoption through Ethiopia.  We have been blessed, amazed, and so very grateful for the generosity of others in helping us in prayer and financial support!  The OSM Walk last year was a beautiful day with friends, family, new friends, and just people who had hearts and time to share with us that day.  We celebrated our adoption into God's family together as we walked, listened to the gospel message through guest speakers, ate together, listened to a talented live band, and the kids had a blast at the kids tent area too!  Still a treasured memory for us.  Visit here for a 'walk' down memory lane 2013: http://onesoughtme.blogspot.com/2013/07/one-sought-me-walk-photo-gallery.html

This year Todd and I, along with our friends, have rallied together again to support another local family in their adoption process to adopt from China!  We feel it is our blessing to be involved in helping to bring children to their forever families and the One Sought Me Walk is one way that we can join together to do that.  

A friend of mine, Tina, is an amazing and passionate woman who loves the Lord, her family, and will listen to whatever God asks of her.  So when Tina heard the whisper from God to adopt from China, she followed His heart and sought after two precious little boys.  Tina is home study ready, paperwork approved, and ready to get on a plane!  One child at a time she will bring the boys home.  The match has already been made and she already knows their little faces.  The One Sought Me Walk Team is joining hearts with Tina to help her on this mission of building her family, God style - through a huge step of faith.  Visit Tina's story at: - http://reecesrainbow.org/76678/sponsorstickley-3                      
and consider donating to help build this family. 

Please JOIN US for the OSM Walk Event on Saturday, September 27, 2014, at 3:30 p.m. to enjoy this day with us and show support for children having families.  Visit the walk's web site at: www.onesoughtmewalk.org to learn more and to register!  T-shirt orders must be in by the 15th to ensure they are ready for the day of the walk! Lift this event up in your prayers, please, as we want God to be honored and His truths of Love to be heard through what we say and do.  Thank you!

Airplane Tray Table Cover for Travel!

In my part of the world, the popular sport of choice for this season is sewing.  Sewing?  Yes, well, it's a winter sport for me with its challenges, obstacles, and skills to be improved upon!  Not to mention that it hasn't been above 10 degrees Fahrenheit for near a month and with wind chills at -25 to -40 tonight, one just has to stay inside in the comfy cozy walls of home! Out comes the sewing machine and projects left behind from seasons past.  This time, I decided to tackle a new project that will be put to good use in the future: an Airplane Tray Table Cover for future traveling!  Thinking of sunny Ethiopia just brightens the mood from the winter blues too! After searching the web, and viewing images of other "airplane tray table covers" (search it, you'll find them), I decided to create my own.  This is pic is of my first attempt.  Overall, it turned out fine and I am happy with the end result.  To give you an idea, this would slip over the airplane tra

Details, Details, and What Can We Do?

It's a girl!  Thank you for the excitement and prayers of joy for us as we announced our next adoption! We have kept our finger on the pulse in the adoption world since bringing home our son, and all I can contribute finding out about this adoption is by the direction of God the Father.  He "places the lonely in families!" - Psalm 68:6  I know that everyone is anxious to know more details, trust me, I know it's part of the excitement to hear the scoop! What I can say is that she is 7 years old and very petite.  She has brown eyes, brown curly hair, and beautiful brown skin.  Her smile is contagious and her eyes show that she is spunky inside of that tiny frame.  She loves to laugh and eat pie! What I can't say is all of her story.  It's very complicated, emotionally complex, broken. And at her age of understanding all that is going on around her, well, it's her story and we want to respect that privacy for her.  While this is a time of joy and cele

Miserly Moms Recipes

After posting some ideas about tips for the family budget, I had many positive responses and am encouraged that many of you will be putting forth an effort to set a food budget and stay within that budget.  Take a visit here to view the previous post. Miserly Moms by Jonni McCoy is an excellent resource for money saving tips, menus, recipes, and family organization.  After looking it up on Amazon, apparently my copy is the "collectable" edition...oh geez, that makes me feel old.  There is a newer edition that Jonni has available in a Kindle version for $7.99 .  Note: Kindles weren't invented yet when I was starting out as a SAHM (Stay At Home Mom)  Ha.ha.laugh.   Here are some highlights from the book (the one made of paper) :   1. Don't Confuse Frugality with Depriving Yourself  2. Remove Little Wasters of Your Money 3. Don't Buy Everything at the Same Store 4. Make Your Own Whenever Possible 5. Eliminate Convenience Foods 6. Cut Back on Meats
