We’re a family of 12, loved by Jesus, built through adoption and birth. Taking life’s challenges as they come, now in beautiful Maine. ❤️

Little baby Ethan is almost 7 months along in the cooking process and doing great!

Our entire family is already smitten with this little boy and his fiery personality.

It’s crazy how much you can tell about them before they’re born…

Based on what I’ve seen (and felt) this little one will have no issues holding his own as the youngest of 10 😂😂😂.

To say I didn’t see 2024 coming would be an understatement on every level.

I went into the year expecting to focus on growth and instead the Lord led us through deep, deep valleys and a path that required us to tear down most of what we’d built.

We saw health issues unlike we’ve ever seen.

Several kids hit mental health challenges that seemed impossible in the moment… but God.

We experienced safety issues from outside forces.

We watched as the Lord led us on a winding, sometimes treacherous journey. The end destination is still not completely clear but we’re beginning to see a way.

More than any of the physical challenges though we faced spiritual challenges that left us forever changed. Idols we’d long held on to became too heavy to continue carrying on this path.

It’s a humbling thing to look at your home and realize how much of the chaos you’ve contributed to.

This year I learned my words do not matter as much as my actions. If I want to be effective in loving my family well I need to focus less on being heard and more on being a representation of love in their life.

Sometimes love is the snuggles and giggles early in the morning. Sometimes love is holding the line when a loved one has lost themself to the lies.

In all these situations one theme has reigned above all…. If I’m trying to do it in my strength it will fail.

I need to wait in hope on the Lord, pray in faith and look for the blessings he has placed all around me.

I sit in the kitchen writing this still on that winding, treacherous path. We have many miles to go before we will see the end of this season. I know this in my soul but I also know no matter what comes the Lord is with us.

He brings what we need and who we need every time. His plan is to bless us and keep us close to him.

As you read this I’m praying blessings and peace reign in your spirit as you head into this new year.

I’ve learned though the only true peace is found in Jesus Christ and I am forever grateful he is Lord of my life.

Happy Thanksgiving friends!

I’ve been thinking a lot about this page and Facebook as a whole in my life right now.

I started this page to document our journey as a family. Over the last 5+ years so much has changed and it leaves me asking a lot of questions.

Mainly, I’m wondering if the space I’m taking up is intentionally making things better and providing encouragement or just creating more noise out into the void?

I don’t have a clear answer on that for myself or a clear purpose for this page right now and so I’m going to take a step back and unplug for a season.

We’re experiencing a lot of transitions in our life right now, some beautiful and some painful. I’ve noticed I’m using this online space as a way to hide from things happening and that isn’t helping my mental or physical health.

So I’m going to learn to fall in love with mundane, everyday tasks again.

I’m going to remember how I loved baking things.

I’m going to move more because it’s good for me.

I’m going to be quiet in cyber spaces so I can learn to take up physical spaces.

I’m going to remember what it is to live a life I truly love and cherish.

Once I’ve figured that out I’ll come back and share it with intention, Lord willing.

Wish me luck and prayers and all the focus of a person who’s not really sure of what they’re looking for.

Until next time.

May you remember that hard moments don’t make hard lives.

Exploring new places with them and feeling hopeful today ❤️.

Every time I get deep in my feelings and begin to believe everything is going to fall apart God sends a rainbow….

Every. Time.

In the last 9 months I’ve seen 10 or 11 of them 🥰.

Things feeling messy and confusing doesn’t mean he’s confused or even sees a mess.

His promises are true and he’s understanding enough of my wayward hard to keep sending reminders over and over.
