Matt Giraud from American Idol reminds me so much of Brian McKnight! What do you think??
I have loved Brian McKnight for many many many years! He was a favorite of mine in high school, a friend sang this song for us on our wedding day, and now I can watch him every week on Celebrity Apprentice!
Today's Favorite Foto Friday theme is UNIQUE and I think that is actually a great word to use as I (finally) share some spiritual news with you. I'm warning you, this is a long one!
Last Wednesday night (a week ago), HomeAudio came home from StockAde (AWANAS) very upset and very eager to call his dad who was out of town. He just needed his daddy! He called him 3-4 times before Management was able to leave his meeting and return his call (literally about 5 minutes later but almost an eternity for a 9 year old). HomeAudio was very upset because the speaker that night spoke about being a cultural Christian vs. a true Christ-follower. He said that some people go to church their whole lives and still are separated from God for all eternity because they never accepted Him as their Savior. HomeAudio was afraid that he might be that person even though he has accepted Jesus as his Savior.
Management walked him through some Scripture and helped HomeAudio realize for himself that he had indeed made that decision and could be assured of his salvation through different truths in Scripture and through signs (fruits) of the Holy Spirit working in his life. Their discussion lasted for about 20 minutes. After HomeAudio hung up the phone he was still in tears. He said they were happy tears and sad tears: happy because he has a daddy that he can go to who, and I'm quoting, "won't just give him the easy answers" but will work with him to find answers. Also, happy tears because his daddy loves him enough to leave an important meeting and be there when he needed him; Sad tears because mommy and daddy won't always be there to help him and that is why mommy and daddy are walking him through Scripture and helping him figure it out on his own so he could learn how to find his answers in God and His Word.
It was a very sweet and tender night! I have no words to say how much I absolutely LOVE seeing the Holy Spirit working in and through my kids! I love to watch them grow closer and closer to God and to deepen their personal faith more and more. I also love our church and went and shared this immediately with the leaders and expressed my gratitude.
WeeklyAd was inspired by all of this and told me that she prayed and "asked Jesus to come into her heart and wash away her sins." She's prayed this before but for some reason the way she worded it and the sincerity in her voice, it made me cry. She is anxious to get baptized but we are still discussing it and praying about it.
Management, in the meantime, on his trip was also deepening his personal faith. Here are his words...
"Last week I spent several days in a retreat center in Chicago, meeting with the Lord with the help of spiritual advisers and others who have also been going through a two year spiritual formation cohort program through InterVarsity. This program has really impacted me in some profound ways. I have been very fortunate to be a part of this time of digging deep and becoming a more centered, free, and whole child of God. Typically, my prayer updates include a note on someone 'getting saved' and this one is not exception but before I share this, it is important for me to share how God continues to 'save' me along the road of discipleship. It is so exciting to know that when we come to Christ our sins are washed away once and for all and we become a part of God’s 'forever family' as I often preach. It is equally exciting to know that after this point, God continues to change us from the inside out, even during times of loss, despair, depression and hopelessness. These latter feelings and realities really do describe how I’ve felt and where I’ve been these last 2 years and while I continued to preach Christ, I also needed to be refreshed. I feel like I am being saved all over again and am thankful for the two years I’ve been led through the spiritual formation program. I’m particularly thankful that God doesn’t leave us where we are but is ALWAYS leading us to greater Christ-likeness. I have a new sense of joy and assurance of God’s presence and this is already having an impact on my ministry in terms of bearing fruit for God’s Kingdom."
And on top of it all, as soon as Management returned, I headed out to a conference titled "Intimate Issues." Yes, it was all about sex! It was a fantastic conference!! We laughed, We cried, We Grew, and I even won a gift set with some Date Night ideas. If you ever have an opportunity to attend this conference then you should! Run, don't walk, because it really was that good!
We each had a UNIQUE experience with the Lord this past week! He is a personal Savior that has a UNIQUE relationship with each of us and it has been delightful to grow in my love for Him and to watch my husband and children to grow in their love for him as well!
I still want to share the sweet, tender spiritual news but it will have to wait just another day or two. It's actually been a great week of deep spiritual growth for each of us, kids included, and we are still trying to process it all.
My neighbor is home and recovering. I'm ashamed to admit that I have yet to speak with her but I do know she is home. Thank you for praying for her!
HomeAudio's bedroom makeover is going well. Slowly, but well. Of course the kids love that it's moving along slowly because they are having sleepovers in the guest bedroom. Don't ask me why WeeklyAd gets to sleep in there too! I'm still not sure why daddy caved on that one.
Speaking of Management, usually when I start a project around the house, he hates it. He can't picture it finished and is forced to trust me in the meantime. After all is said and done, he usually loves the finished project. This afternoon he walked into HomeAudio's room I expected some "it's too dark, what have you gotten yourself into" comments and I begin my usual "trust me" speech (I have to admit that it looks pretty bad right now - sanded walls, 5 colors of paint on the walls) but before I got too far in my defense he said that he really liked it already. Hooray! Hopefully he'll love it when it's finished.
My new favorite song, Savior Please by Josh Wilson, is finally available for my play list. Hope you take some time to listen to it. I can't express the emotions it conjures up as I listen to it. Love it! I know nothing about music but I think it's the melody that I love so much.
Tonight is the annual Fun Fair at the kid's school. I'm not sure if Management will take the kids or not. They really want to go and I think he will take them but he just got back into town last night and has an all day meeting today so he might too wiped out. We'll see. I will be attending a conference tonight and tomorrow on Intimacy and am very much looking forward to it.
My neighbor is having a pretty significant 4 hour surgery today. I wasn't too worried until I called her last night to pray over her and she asked me if I knew anyone that's ever had this surgery? I responded No and asked her if she did and she replied, "not anyone that's lived to tell about it." Now I'm worried. But we had some good prayer time and I've been praying for her all day. If you think of it, please pray for her and for a safe and quick recovery. Her name is Kelly. Thanks!
MOPS was excellent this morning!! We had a Grammy Panel with 3 grandmothers (one was my own mom) and it was really really good. The questions were fantastic and the grammy's did a great job answering them and giving advice. Every mother enjoyed it and took a ton of notes!
Not much progress on HomeAudio's Bedroom Makeover. I did take some "before" pictures and have started the sanding process (he has stripes that need to be sanded before they can be painted over). I really hope to start painting Sunday night or Monday and can't wait for it to be done! The colors are blue (like Windex), Brown (like mud), and Green (like deep summer grass).
I have some sweet, tender spiritual news to share too but ran out of time. If I don't post it before next Tuesday, can someone remind me? Thanks!
Okay, go and listen to Savior Please if you haven't already heard it! Have a great weekend everyone!
I only have an hour here at home and I should be doing laundry, or reading my book, or watching American Idol, or vaccuming, or working on HomeAudio's bedroom makeover...but instead I'm going to post some pictures from the weekend.
You know my motto: When all else fails seems overwhelming, then just blog. Well that really isn't my motto but for today I'll claim it. I recently saw a t-shirt for kids that said "my whole life is being blogged." Love it!
Here is part of our life that will be blogged...
SLEEPOVER ~
WeeklyAd was so sweet and wanted to bake and serve cookies for her brother and his friends.
Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. When you're finished reading all of the things that I DID NOT DO, you can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
I did not take the directions from our Bible Study leaders literally when they said to dress up as Queen Esther in order to celebrate Purim. Of course I was not the only one (out of about 50 - 75 women) to wear a full bridesmaid's dress and go all out with a costume while others simply wore crowns with their everyday clothes.
I did not oversleep last Thursday and have to jump out of bed and run straight to the neighbor's to pick up LittleMiss before changing clothes, brushing hair or anything. I did not almost die when LittleMiss's dad answered the door and instead of saying hello, he said "interesting." Hello, I'm always up and ready to go wherever the day takes me and always have make-up on before 7:00am...and even if that weren't true, I look great without make-up and would never be categorized as "interesting." Not Me!
HomeAudio had three friends over for a sleepover Friday night and I did not threaten him at all beforehand. I did not tell him that if he said even one time that I was embarrassing him then I would pull out his Elmo Blankie and show his friends. I'm a very cool mom and want my son to have good and lasting friendships, I would never threaten him or use Elmo to jeopardize his reputation.
I also did not let the boys stay up until 11:00 just because HomeAudio said that if I made them go to bed at 8:00 (his usual bedtime) then he would forever be known as "the dork of the century." - his words not mine!
After weeks and weeks of going back and forth, I did not finally decide on the colors for HomeAudio's bedroom makeover. I did not decide to paint his room Royal Peacock, Burley Wood, and Moss Landing Green only to then spend another week or so trying to decide which design I wanted to use that incorporates all three colors. Who is that indecisive?? Not Me!!
Of course I had several ideas jumping around in this head of mine but since my anniversary is this weekend, I decided to do a sort of THEN and NOW of my wedding...which definitely includes FRIENDS (as I mentioned yesterday).
In the last 12 Years... ~Our maid of honor and our best man fell in love and married each other. ~5 more of my bridesmaids got married. ~2 others got divorced. ~Our matron of honor is still happily married and has had another baby. ~Our 2 flower girls are now in college. ~Most of our groomsmen were already married but now have children. ~Our ring bearer is in high school. ~Both of my grandpa's passed away. ~My parents have gained 8 grand kids and another on the way. ~Managements mother has gained 7 grand kids. ~I have graduated from college. ~We moved from a great house in the city to a great house in the suburbs. ~And so much more....
But most importantly,
~Management was THEN and is NOW my absolute BEST FRIEND! Through ups and downs, ins and outs, good, bad, and ugly, he has been there...THEN and NOW!
He has my heart!
~And we have had two precious children! I can't even begin to picture my life without them. They mean everything to us! And to each other! They truly are best friends too!
So without further ado...Here we are...
THEN ~ NOW ~ (actually this was last summer but I couldn't find a recent picture of the two of us. Guess we better get on that!)
I have plans to post a Favorite Foto Friday but they will have to wait until tonight. I hate posting it late but I guess later is better than never. Right!?
Yesterday I kept thinking about my wonderful friend Rekiya. She is a dear, sweet friend of mine that experienced much of life with me back when WeeklyAd was first born. She has a son and a daughter as well and was an incredible gift to me during those first few years as a mother of two. Not only was I a new mother of two but I was also a mother who just found out that those two children would be her only biological children...ever. It was a very hard time for me but Rekiya was a gracious and encouraging friend and listened well as I processed and cried and learned and grew. We experienced life with our little ones together and I will never ever forget her and how much she means to me!!
Unfortunately life happens and we both have been extremely busy and not so good at keeping in touch. We play phone tag a lot and connect little.
Last night I decided that I was going to surprise her today and show up on her doorstep. I had it all planned out and was so excited!! This morning I woke up and remembered that the kids only have half a day today and my plans would have to be put on hold. Such a disappointment! I could have taken them with me but it's just not the same, especially since her kids would still be in school. Hopefully I can surprise her on Monday.
Instead of visiting with my long lost friend, I'm typing this out, listening to HomeAudio destroy the kitchen with yet another Science experiment, and gearing myself up for a sleepover that we are hosting for some of HomeAudio's friends.
Friends have always been so important to me and I'm so thankful that my kids cherish their friends as well.
Check back later for my Favorite Foto Friday that will be around this very theme...Friends...
Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. When you're finished reading all of the things that I DID NOT DO, you can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
I did not read so many Amish books (not one, not two, but in fact three of them) during our vacation that when I found out my friend's mother passed away, my first thought was to bake her some apple crisp.
I did not actually believe that I could make the above mentioned apple crisp from scratch. After all, I am the World's Worst Cook - nominated truly by anyone who has ever put a morsel of my cooking into their mouths! I did not ignore the little voice in my head that said, "just send flowers" and did not bake a delicious apple crisp that turned out beautifully. I did not pull it from the oven and say to myself Goodbye World's Worst Cook, Hello Most Improved.
I did not get totally addicted a little carried away with the Barbie Style N Snip Salon online. I simply had to help WeeklyAd set it all up, I wasn't really shooing her out of the office, taking over the computer, and making excuses as to why it took an hour to set up a simple little game every time she asked if was her turn yet.
I did not tell LittleMiss that we each get one chocolate chip every time she goes potty in the big potty. I never used chocolate for my older two or my niece or anyone else that I potty trained. And if I did decide to use chocolate then wouldn't it make sense that only LittleMiss would get one since she's the one that actually deserves the reward? I have never said "one chocolate for you, one chocolate for me." Not Me!
I did not come home last Friday and immediately put in to practice the lesson we heard at MOPS. I did not verbally praise and admire my husband, did not tell him all of the things I love about him, and did not almost punch him when after all of this he looked at me suspiciously and asked, "do you need money?"
I've been wanting to paint HomeAudio's bedroom ever since I finished my little bathroom surprise for Management. The problem is that I can't decide on colors. I really wanted to do a dark teal/brown combo but I'm being vetoed by head of the room and the head of the house. I thought of an orange/brown combo but he had an orange room before and I wanted something different. Hmmmm...I think I need to go and look at some fabrics in order to be inspired. Maybe tomorrow.
Rumor has it that Melissa (from The Bachelor) will be on DWTS. I've only watched that show once and it was when Jennie Garth was on it. I am definitely intrigued by Melissa being a contestant! I'll have to tune in once or twice I guess. Are any of you fans of DWTS?
It's Happy Minute as I sit here typing! 5:55...woohoo! I noticed that my blog is slowly creeping toward 5,555 hits too. That will be exciting!! The other day LittleMiss went potty at 5:55 and I didn't know whether to do the potty dance or the happy minute dance.
It's a gloomy Sunday evening here with lots of rain coming down. I have a new book to read (Savannah from Savannah - anyone out there read that one?) and some coconut creamer so I'm glad it's the perfect day for curling up with a good book and coffee. Of course what day isn't perfect for a good book and coffee???
My friend has declared on her blog that Thursdays are the day for recycling old blogs. After sharing our GreenLight news yesterday, I immediately thought about this post that I had written back in October of 2007. Today, which happens to be Thursday, another friend posted a video by Sara Groves and so with that, I think that means that I should post this....
From 2007~
"At the convention, I attended a seminar given by Sara Groves . She is a singer/songwriter with beautiful music, beautiful children, and a beautiful heart for the Lord. The seminar was titled 'Raising Fearless, Global Thinking Children.' Unbeknownst to me, the seminar was specifically about something near and dear to our family...a cause that we have been supporting for almost 10 years now. The cause: to end child-sex slavery and human trafficking.
Management and I have been supporting The International Justice Mission for as long as I can remember and for the last 5 years Management and a team of colleagues, through InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, have raised money and awareness regarding AIDS orphans, child-sex slavery, human trafficking, and more. They have put thousands and thousands of dollars into campaigns on many college campuses across the US to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. They show how these atrocities are the result of sin in our world and how they can not only turn to Jesus for hope, but also practically be involved in changing the world.
So all that to say that I could have taught this seminar myself. In fact, I was a tad disappointed when I heard the specific issues that we were addressing. What more could I learn? I know the atrocities, I know the statistics, I have several stories that I could share, I know how God has worked to deliver many and the work He is still doing, I know....
BUT of course, with God there is always more to learn; just as you can read the same verse 100 times and God can speak in 100 different ways. So, humbly, I listened as the Spirit convicted me with one of her opening questions:
'To what end have you been grooming your personal faith?'
Are you just grooming your own faith, and grooming our kids faith, and grooming our grandkids faith, and on and on with a legacy of groomed faith? To what end?
This particularly hit me as a mother. Yes, I am grooming my own faith, I am grooming my kid's faith, and desperately pray that I can groom my grandkids faith as well. But to what end? Is it enough? What is faith without works? How can we, as mothers, encourage our children to groom their faith but to take their eyes off of themselves, to be students of Christ, and to be world-changers in His Kingdom?
She shared this story.... (this was copied from her website)
'There is a scene in the movie Dances with Wolves where the Sioux are on a much anticipated buffalo hunt. As they come up over a hill, they are shocked to see a field full of buffalo carcasses. The tragedy of that moment is that where the Sioux use every piece of the buffalo—the bladder holds water, the bone makes a tool, the skin is a covering for a tent- whoever has done this has taken the best part of the buffalo for himself and has left everything else to waste. There is no way to make good use of all that is lying in this field.
I was so convicted when I went to Africa that I am not using all of my spiritual buffalo. I have developed this one side of my personal relationship with God. I go to church, I have incredible worship, and I listen to incredible speakers. I have money to buy devotionals, and leisure time to do those devotionals. I have spent a lifetime grooming a personal faith in Christ, but have I been taking the best piece of the buffalo for myself? There has been a joy in discovering the good use of my life. There is a reciprocal redemption that happens when we enter into stories of helping our neighbor—not just around the world, but in our own communities. When I came home from Africa, instead of feeling guilty for my life, I began to hear God in a very clear way say, ‘that thing carries water, that thing makes a tool, that is covering for a tent.’ There is a beauty to the good use of a life, and to the acknowledgment that everything you have and do has a Kingdom purpose.'
She asked us, 'Do you keep the best part of the buffalo for yourself or do you look at the entire buffalo and ask 'what is this for? How can this be used?'
Are we hoarding our buffalo? Are we taking just enough for ourselves, our families, our children? Are we stocking up for a lifetime? To what end?
To what end?"
Today 2009~
Honestly, I've been guilty of hoarding the best part of the buffalo before! But I want to change that! I want to find where our grooming and our preparing and our sheltering and our stocking up and our saving and our protecting ends.
When does our nice little bubble burst?
I want to make a difference. I desperately want my kids to make a difference and I think that it is my job to be an example of using the whole buffalo. I want them to know the Lord Jesus personally and to trust Him and to love Him wholeheartedly and to serve Him...to put their faith into action...to experience Him in amazing and miraculous ways...
To see what she saw...and to see the world, the lost and hurting world, through His eyes...and to help them, along with the lost and hurting world, see the One who brings hope and redemption...
"I have what I have and I'm giving it up I do what I do with deep conviction Something on the road, changed my world" ~Sara Groves
Well it didn't take long to get the green light from Management and now I can share the exciting news. We primarily want to share it in order to gather your prayers! You have all been so gracious and faithful in praying with us and honestly, though we have no idea where God is leading or what He has for us, we know that He is near and is at work.
Okay, so on with the news....though I'm sharing this publicly, try to keep this to yourselves for the moment as we don't know what will actually finally materialize.
Management received a call yesterday from LifeWay (most commonly known to me, and maybe many of you, as the publishers of Beth Moore's Bible Studies and so much more) and they are interested in flying him (and hopefully me too) down to Nashville to speak with him about book, speaking, and partnership opportunities. Isn't that so exciting!? I honestly thought he was joking at first. Not that he isn't talented and gifted enough to be a part of LifeWay's Ministries, it's just that LifeWay has meant so much to me and seems so larger than life that the news was beyond exciting.
Let me clarify that we are in no way leaving InterVarsity! We adore IV and truly believe God has called us into ministry with IV and to reaching the college campus. The opportunity with LifeWay would be complementary to our current ministry and would truly be a partnership in continuing the work that God has called us to and would open new doors and avenues for raising awareness about Social Justice Issues and Evangelistic Opportunities.
I'm jumping out my seat....but at the same time my heart is deeply saddened and burdened by the great work that needs to be done in this world. Let me share a staggering statistic from Outreach Magazine (page 33 March/April 2009):
"'600,000 to 800,000 The estimated number of people worldwide being trafficked across national borders each year. (The White House estimates that 14,500 to 17,500 are brought into the United States.)' - The U.S. State Department"
Emphasis was added by me but can you believe that it says each year?? I can't even fathom that and yet I know that is only the tip of the tremendous and awful iceberg. Friends we have got to get involved!!
We have to raise awareness about this atrocity. Ministries have to partner together to pray and to train and rescue children and preach Christ and call for deliverance and to raise Christian leaders who will fight not only the social evils of this world but also the very one who thrives on their existence. There is a battle going on and we have to join forces and fight it!
We need individual repentance and we need social repentance. Changed lives lead to changed societies and Christ is our only HOPE! He is in the business of changing lives and He CAN definitely change societies!
Oh boy could I go on....
I just really covet your prayers for this process and will let you know when we get more details. This is definitely in the very early preliminary stages but we are excited to see if it can grow into more.
In the meantime, I recommend getting your hands on the March/April issue of Outreach. There is a list of resources (page 33) for learning more about Human Trafficking and also different ministries that you can pray for and support. And please keep praying for InterVarsity. We use this quote a lot but it still gets me every time,
"...More potently than by any other means, change the university and you change the world." - Former President of the United Nations General Assembly, Charles Malik
We have a had a couple of days of some really exciting news. At the risk of bragging...and at the risk of being slapped for mentioning something when you can't tell the whole story (I know, I'm sorry! I hate it when people do this!) I want to share some of it with you.
First off, we got a letter from HomeAudio's school letting us know that he has been recommended for a special enrichment class that they are offering. I have no idea how many children were recommended but I am so excited that HomeAudio was one of them! He definitely will benefit from this opportunity and, according to the letter, will "expand his knowledge-base in the area of Math, Science, Logic and Latin." I'm thrilled for him! I'm not sure what this means for me though as I already have to rely heavily on Google when helping him with schoolwork. I guess Google can certainly help expand my knowledge-base of Math, Science, Logic and Latin as it has already helped with English, Marine Biology, and so much more. I love that part in Confessions of a Shopaholic (must see if you haven't already!!) when she says, "yes, I googled." That is so me!
Secondly, my dear husband may be heading to Nashville this month (or in May)! I can't tell you all of the story but I'll tell you that I'm trying my hardest to weasel myself onto that trip with him. He can take care of business and I can have lunch with Angie! I would be really excited if that could really happen! I would love to chat with her about some ministry related things. We'll see. Whether I can have lunch with her or not though, I'm still excited (and still can't tell you) about the business that Management will be doing in Nashville. I'll tell you about it as soon as he gives me the green light. I promise!
And just so I don't leave WeeklyAd out of all of this excitement...I am so proud of her and her creativity! I have lots of pictures to post about her and art projects and am so excited about her growth as an artist. I was telling her yesterday that I was proud of her and asked if she might want to focus on Art when she grows up and she responded, "last night I was thinking about this in bed and I thought to myself that I am really good at painting and because I'm so good at painting then maybe when I grow up I could be....a face painter." Not quite what I had in mind, but um, okay!
What in the world is there to say after that mess???
I actually cried. To quote the endearing Chris Harrison...it's a first in Bachelor History. I've never cried over this stupid show before! I cried for Melissa and with Melissa and all I could think after she left was blah blah blah blah blah.
I actually liked Molly but after all of Jason's shenanigans, I dislike him so much that she is an innocent victim of my dislikeness as well. I know that makes no sense at all but I've been banished up in a bedroom for 3 hours watching nonsense and to make matters worse it's way past my bedtime.
(Did I just admit that I'm a nerd who cries at The Bachelor and usually goes to bed around 9:30?)
I'm just so heartbroken for Melissa. Really. I felt her pain when she said that he took her once in a lifetime moment of getting engaged away from her. He did!
oooo, I dislike Jason so much!
Bottom Line: ~I hate that the rumors were true!! ~I don't know if I can watch tomorrow night. Of course I will but I don't want to. ~I truly hope Melissa is the next Bachelorette! ~Jason still walks like a dork in a suit and tie. ~I have 2 pages of notes from tonight but not sure they will make it into a Bachelor Babble. Maybe tomorrow?
It's not all about shopping. Though I enjoy shopping, Target has come to mean more to me than just a store. I know you think I'm kidding, but unfortunately, I'm not. Target holds many memories for me and has always been there when I needed it like the many times I just mindlessly wandered up and down the aisles in the quiet evening hours.
But there is so much more to me than just being a Targetshopper. I absolutely love the Lord and am so incredibly thankful for His love and His truth! I am involved in our local church, volunteer at the kid's school, and enjoy fellowshipping with friends whenever I can. I adore my husband and kids. Our kids are very imaginative, full of joy, creative, intelligent, and love to sleep. As a family we love to laugh, cuddle, read, travel, and watch movies. Every day is an adventure and we love to experience life together.
I have a great husband, otherwise known as Management. He spends most of his time traveling around the country but really does a great job managing his time, his job, and our home. He is very motivated, hardworking, and a fantastic dad. We have been married for 14 years.
Home Audio
HomeAudio is our very loud, very funny, and very tenderhearted son. He is an excellent big brother and a big dreamer when it comes to business. He is very ambitious and creative and a very hard-working boy.
WeeklyAd
WeeklyAd is our shining star. She is very entertaining and loves to dance and sing and play all day long. She is very compassionate, caring, and at times very sensitive. I'm not sure where she gets it, but she absolutely loves to clean. She is a very hard-worker just like her brother!
H & G
It's been a dream of mine for over 20 years to adopt but this little girl surpasses every dream I ever had. She is God's promise to our family and we couldn't love her any more. She adores her older siblings and has a very fun personality. She is a very sweet little girl and exceptionally smart and spirited.
