Adopting

It was around Thanksgiving weekend, 2012 that a nine month old baby entered our home.  We have enjoyed watching him grow, progress and become an active toddler.  A few months ago, parental right were signed off/terminated.  We then began the process to adopt him.  Over the past couple weeks, I have felt such a greater emotional connected (yup, the attachment word) and it has been amazing.  It is  crazy how much he looks like Sam and Sydney.  He has the same skin tone as Sydney and similar hair to Sam.  Needless to say, Sam and Sydney are crazy in love with him.  We are so blessed to love him.  I pray that he has a strong identity as a child of God and will have a heart that seeks him early.  He loves his Bible story book I read to him every day.  He often goes into his room and starts looking for it. Actually, he calls most books Bibles because we read his Bible the most.  Prayers are already being answered. Praise God.

Below is a design I created for His room.

I just love philippians 4.  The verses have really spoken to me lately as some things in my life are out of my control and I am not liking the outcome.  But I will rejoice and pray and think about true things and guess what, I get peace!   I hope these verses will bless you and your home as much as they bless me.

Christmas Prayer Printable

We are all familiar with the song, 12 Days of Christmas. I decided to act on that song and have 12 Prayers of Christmas. This is so great to have in your home over the holidays. Spend a few minutes in prayer as you walk by this print. You can order your own printable at my Etsy shop

Advent Printable

I saw this great blog post the other day for an advent reading scheduled that followed the Jesus Story Book Bible. So I went to work and design a cute printable for each day that has the bible story as well as the bible verses. I am excited to do this with my family and look forward to the added visual for the kids as we read the story. Find these and other Christmas printables at my etsy shop
