Learning Curve..

November 21, 2013 By Sherry Leave a Comment

Still hard to believe Lilly has been home for just about 6 months now. Where does the time go?

This month on Instagram there is a series called #knittogetherbyadoption and each day has a new prompt, today’s prompt is Learning Curve.

I can honestly say when I thought about what most would call starting over..it kinda scared me..I mean, I’m not 20ish nor 30sih..I’m 40ish. YIKES!!!

I’ve mothered, I’ve grand-mothered, (yes, I am a grandma to 3, and yes I was a teen mom…that’s another post for another day) so this should be a cake walk.

My Girls and grand-babies.

I will admit..there is something about being a mom before to littles, that the instincts kick in.

BUT!!!!! There are days when I am sitting here, I’m like WHAT DO I DO!!!! Someone help me.

I second guess things daily, from what I should instill in her..when should I incorporate educational things, should she eat

eggs this early…peanut butter…oh my gosh what about peanut butter..are they suppose to have peanut butter. If I give it to her and she breaks out in a rash

then what do I do..YES, those kinds of things run through my mind alot.

stock-footage-frustrated-woman-holding-her-head-between-hands-on-grey-background-in-slow-motion

Pretend this is me.

But in those thoughts, I am a bit more calmer in my thinking, then say, when I was a first time mommy to my grown girls.

The great thing now is, we have internet, cell phones etc..so I am just one click away from texting a friend, googling it (yes.. I google things).

But most of the time I go on mommy instinct. I really try not to beat myself up to much about anything. I don’t have time for that these days.

I will say the biggest thing for me to really get use to is not having that free time I had before..there are just some things I hate doing with a child in arm.

Like the Bank

Post Office (evil place)

Grocery store for a big grocery day

and those days where you have a gazillion errands and you feel like you are taking child in and out of car so much you could possible blow a disc in your lower back

and because you haven’t had little’s for so long, you have a really small car so you hit your head a hundred times a day getting child out of car. Yea, I don’t like those days.

So, yes there has been some learning in this process…

Oh and now I am going to be a mommy of a 3yr old BOY…boys scare me (not really, but they do kinda)..

I have a 12yr step son I still can’t figure out at times (most times).

I will have some major learning to do..but am beyond excited for a little dude to call me mommy..I guess I better start liking dirt, lizzards, trucks, boogers

and big amounts of energy.

Through all of this the one constant I have to go to is The Lord, He is the one that gets me through the days when I can’t seem to get it together.

When I question my abilities..He always reassures me, that I am doing exactly what He has called me to do and I am doing just fine.

Emotions All Around..

October 30, 2013 By Sherry Leave a Comment

This last weekend was the weekend we celebrated sweet girlies birthday.

Let me just say, I was a bit emotional. I can’t believe she is a year old.

It seems like we just were in Africa meeting her for the first time.

She has been with us 6 months now..it has been an amazing 6 months..I would not change a thing.

She has been an unbelievable blessing in our life.

These last few days I have been preparing to bring her brother home.

Packing, repacking, making list, making new list, writing out to do list for Lilly etc.

I am a nervous wreck thinking of being away from our baby for so long.

But her daddy will be with her so I know she will be well taken care of.

My heart aches for our son a gazillion miles away.

My heart aches for the little hard life he has already endured.

I pray daily for his heart, that God would prepare it for his new family.

That God would wipe out every negative hurtful experience he has had.

That he will feel the love of his mommy, daddy, brother, sisters and grandparents.

That he NEVER feels alone again.

I pray that God would get us there quickly and swiftly.

The emotions I have are all over the place…

I pray they will calm down as I near my time to go.

We still have alot to raise to make this happen (travel cost, remainder to attorney, lodging, food, all the fees in country) with a total of about $8,000 still needed.I hate putting all of our stuff out there, but it”s reality.

I get emotional thinking about it, but I do know that God has it under control.

He provided before, He will again.

I’ve been listing items on eBay like a mad women. Selling jewelry..doing what I can to help bring in the money.

I still have my 150 Cuff Campaign going on. (I have sold about 15 cuffs so far)

Now is a great time to start thinking of all those gift for Christmas.

What better way then to buy handmade and help bring home an orphan.

The Big “1″ Thank you Jesus!!

October 18, 2013 By Sherry 4 Comments

I have been thinking these last few days about this post.

About how can I possible express what these last 5 months have been like.

Today our sweet gift from The Lord turns 1. I have tears writing this.

Our girl has only been with us for 5 months.

I think about the time she wasn’t with us and I almost can’t breathe.

It makes me so sad, sad that she never knew her birth mother, sad that she was sick and alone.

Sad, that I didn’t get to be with her when she was so sick.

That I didn’t get to comfort her when she was scared.

That I didn’t get to see her first smile or hear her first coo.

But blessed beyond measure that I have had so many first with her in these 5 months that God saved just for us.

This almost two years have not been easy. If God would of shown me what we were going to go through before the beautiful

day we met our daughter….we would of said there is NO way we can’t do this.

There was a time and I am sure there still is, that people thought we were nuts…heck I thought we were.

But, I wasn’t going to sit at the end of my life and look into the eyes of Christ and when He asked me, “so why when I asked you

to help one of my children you said NO”…..ummmm..well you see Lord..my family isn’t comfortable with it, I was to old..

we had plans, dreams..I mean I’ve already raised 3 daughters…etc..etc.etc.

There was NO way I was going to do that. God chose us, He didn’t chose my neighbor or anyone else for our precious girl, He chose us

and by gosh, we were not going to say no.

We met loss deeply two times before bringing Lilly home..loss I wouldn’t wish on anyone. The loss of a referral of a boy that we met and fell in love with.

The loss of our daughter Grace the day she went to be with Jesus.

I am so glad He didn’t show us these losses upfront…I would of ran the other way. The hurt was real..very real.

But He had us in His hands, He was going to see us through.

Every single day I look into my daughters eyes I see the eyes of Jesus.

She is the little joy of my heart…I can’t even express the love and joy she brings to our life.

I NEVER in a million years (not sure why) thought adoption would be so wonderful.

There are still those days that I see she started her little life in a orphanage…but overall our gift is settling in wonderful.

I have learned a lot from Lilly in these few short months…

Uber amounts of joy and love…how one little soul can change 100′s of people by her testimony.

Most of all, I have seen the faithfulness of God, I have seen Him show up time and time again for her and us.

That He loves Lilly way more then we ever could.

That He can bring beauty from ashes.

Everyday I look into those amazing eyes of hers, touch her mocha skin, hug her tight. I thank The Lord above for asking us

to be HER FAMILY FOREVER.

Thank you Lord for trusting us with your precious gem, for allowing us to be her parents.

I would NOT change it for anything in this world.

To my baby girl…mommy loves you so much it leaves me completely breathless.

You bring me so much happiness.

I love….

The way your smile goes from the top of your head to your little bitty toes.

The way your eyes sparkle every minute of every day.

The way you raise your sweet little hands when we are worshiping God at church.

The way you make your little frog noise when you get tired.

The way your little body moves when you get so excited.

The way you kiss my lips when you want to get close.

The way you sing in the back of the car and dance to the music.

They way you wave sideways telling us you want to go night-night..be still my heart.

You feel my heart so full.

I can’t keep the tears back, every time I think of what would of happen if we would of said no..I just can’t fathom that.

If God is calling you to something, that you just don’t think you can do.

Rethink it..He will carry you every step of the way.

He never promised following Him would be easy, but He does promise to be there, to help through the hard times.

You might not feel equipped, but He doesn’t call the equipped.

He equips the called. (trust me on this)

This isn’t about what makes me comfortable, it’s about bringing Him the glory.

None of this story is about us, it’s about His unfailing love for His children.

THANK YOU LORD…THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING US.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to our sweet Lilly.

Your family loves you so much.

150 Cuffs and Counting!!!!

September 27, 2013 By Sherry Leave a Comment

It’s been awhile since I have posted. Things are a bit crazy around here.

Trying to get things in order, as we never know when we will get that email to GO!!!

One thing I have been working on is our 150 Cuffs in 6wk Campaign to raise the needed funds to get our little guy home.

That’s right 150 cuffs (people that’s alot…my little hands will be hand stamping like crazy each and everyone and trying to take care of my sweetie and family).

We still have a HUGE amount of money to raise to be able to get our little “E” home.

This is one of the ways in which I can do this. If you go to my Etsy site HERE, you can customize your own cuff. Christmas is right around the corner (don’t shoot the messenger). This is a great time to start thinking about gifts.

Different examples of what I can do.

Example of wording, but you can choose your own.

Below is some new items as well, if you would prefer a necklace.

I also will be working on some other items as well.

Please help spread the word. Everything that I sell through my shop will help us bring “E” home.

IF you would prefer to make a tax deductible donation you can go HERE.

Project Hopeful has joined in helping us reach our goal.

Everything helps…a $1.00 helps..$100.00 helps. It all adds up.

The expenses this time are alot more, due to not being able to stay with the family we stayed with before (they are moving back to states)..so this time we have to pay for drivers, and rooming. We will be flying to Louisiana as well to drop off our special princes,s so my friends can watch her. Which added about 2000.00 to the bill. Our needs are HUGE, but we serve a HUGE God…knowing HE will provide it all…

Please keep us in your prayers. Thank you so much for your continued support.

Normal!! What’s that??

September 18, 2013 By Sherry Leave a Comment

Boy it’s been awhile since I have posted. Alot has been going on over here in our little world.

There are normal days and then the not so normal days. Those not so normal days, I rely on Jesus to see me through. I’m still adjusting to my new life as a mom of a baby again. I wouldn’t trade a minute of this life for anything.

I use to do alot more of this..not so much anymore.

Lilly has been an unbelievable blessing in my/our life.

She truly brings more joy then I could ever express.

Seriously..nothing better.

Each day is something new and fun with her. A new like, noise, look, motion, emotion and amazing amounts of happiness and joy radiates through this little girl.

Here are just a few pics that help explain it all.

She loves her Jesus and Music.

My little pickle lover.

Sweet Sisters.

I can’t get enough.

I’m still in completer awe, that God chose us to be her family. BLESSED!!!

Starting over at our age was something that truly freaked me out at times, if I thought about it to much. But let me tell you..it has been amazing.

I am a different mom this time around…I am not super stressed about what people think of my mom skills (or lack there of)..I’m not trying to keep up with that mom or this mom..I am just trying to get through each day with the grace the good Lord gives me..and to bring Him and my family glory.

Now let me say, I have my days…oh do I. But I am not looking over my shoulder wondering who approves and who doesn’t.

I am alot more easy going with Lilly, then when my older girls where younger. I worried all the time…

Walked around like a hover mom..watching out for their every move..not that I don’t worry about Lilly, well because I do..but I don’t hover, I let her do what she has to do (of course without putting her in any sort of danger)..and this time around I know she will be ok.

This week we are going to start something new..I am going to let her explore her creative side..I’m going to let her be free with some paint, paper and let her crawl and play in it all…crazy as it sounds it’s going to be fun. I will post pics later..

God has shown me so much grace and mercy since we got off that plane. I truly don’t understand how people can do it without God.

As I love on our daughter..I still lay awake at night thinking of our son on the other side of the world, just waiting to come home. It truly keeps me up at night.

I can’t wait for the day we can bring him home. so he can be part of this wonderful thing we got going over here called family. We might be a bit crazy, dramatic and quirky but we are family and he deserves one too.

Those moments when I am not busy with Little Lady I am freaking out in my mind on ways to fundraise to get him home…God has shown me much grace in this area too…I will post more on that later..

Please be in prayer with us as we try to raise all the funds needed and how God wants us to fundraise..because what we have been doing isn’t working..He has told me once again let ME do it…just be still. Not easy…but again more on this later..

Today marks Lilly’s 11th month here on earth..5 months with us..so we are going to celebrate her. Today while daddy is working, we are going to Whole Foods and getting ourselves a healthy version of a cupcake…we will go all out for her birthday, don’t you worry.

I adore you sweet baby girl..Happy 11th month birthday!!! Mama LOVES you to the moon and back!!!!!

Love my girl.

My Mission Field

August 13, 2013 By Sherry Leave a Comment

It has been a couple of rough days for me.

Since the beginning of our journey to adoption, God has really been working on me. I have been working on faith, trust and obedience.

I have had some real heart to hearts with God. I have grown closer to Him this last year and a half. He has shown himself HUGE these last several months.

He has shown me, He loves our children way more then I could ever…which I find hard to wrap my mind around sometimes..because I can’t imagine anyone loving them more.

Once we got our referral’s I have made that my mission..it is MY mission to get them home. It is MY ministry…I have to do it. I will not stop until they are home.

I have not stopped thinking of our son..a bazillion miles away..I can’t stop until he is in our arms.

This little boy needs a family and he needs it NOW. His little story would rip you apart. Horrific!!!!!!!

But this morning when I broke down crying, trying to find new ways to fundraise….trying to figure out how I am going to make all these cuffs..because I will need to roughly make 620 of them to get to our goal. UMMM..YOU SAY WHAT!!! I’m tired thinking about it. (don’t judge me.. yes I think about these things)

I was reminded that this is God’s mission His alone. He is just using us to do it.

That God is in control of how we will fund-raise…how, He will provide..

God has given us ways to fund-raise..Now I just have to let HIM do the rest of that. (I ‘m a work in progress)

I truly have to let go and let God!!!!

God provided for Lilly He will provide for Little “E’ too.

I need the strength to move forward for what God has called us to do..I pray for endurance, strength, wisdom, discernment and courage.

God has given me the gift of skill, so I will continue to create jewelry,

We too will be having a FB on-line auction (will post about that Saturday).

God connected me with Project Hopeful to set up a link to our families story so that people can make a tax deductible donation to our adoption.

So God is moving in our adoption, He will bring him home. I just need to do what God has shown me to do. Not what I feel I SHOULD do.

I am still working on getting better about freaking out, stressing out..I am a mom in training..clinging to God for strength.

I just want that boy in his family..he has lived a very hard life..it’s time he get’s the love he deserves.

We have some HUGE urgent financial needs in the next week for our adoption.

Please keep our son and family in your prayers.

If you feel led to help and would like to please click on our PayPal donate button at top of this blog page…or you can click on the Logo below and donate that way as well.

Thank you for your continued support to help bring our children home.

To God be the Glory!!!

Why are we adopting again…you ask!

August 2, 2013 By Sherry Leave a Comment

People have asked this very question…why so soon after just getting home, you ask.

Some people have assumed that we aim to rescue children from disease, hunger or poverty (yes these are very important). That’s not it either. If our main concern was about the above things, then more systemic helps would be more effective on a larger population scale than a single adoption.

Because there is a child thousands of miles across this country that deserves to be loved and adored to have HIS own family. I can not fathom my children or any child for that matter that should not wake up to the loving arms and cuddles of a mommy and daddy, but then losing them to AIDS or some other issue that kids don’t understand (like complete abandonment)?

THIS IS NOT OK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not actual orphanage our son is in..but close to it.

Picture your childs room…does it look like this…not mattress, but sleeping bars and just having a little sheet to keep them warm. Probable not…

How will we manage four kids at home… with God’s love and strength. There are alot of people with more kids..four is nothing.

We are not adopting to be adding children to our family. We are adopting because families need to be added to children who don’t have one. Because EVERY child deserves one.

Imagine a child you love. Try to imagine no one answering his or her cries, no one snuggling with them when they are sick, no one fighting for the best medical care for them, no one reading them Bible stories and bedtime books, and no one kissing their owies.

It’s not a fun pleasurable thing to imagine, is it?

We adopt – in cases in which other families have said no and adoption chances are looking slim to none – because we would want the same for our kids if they were those kids.

kids matter..

there are millions of other orphans who are waiting, passed over because they are too old or sick or disabled… they matter too.

That is why we adopt.

Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.

Proverbs 3:27

~+~

He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6:8

~+~

…if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.
Isaiah 58:10

~+~

Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.
Isaiah 1:17

~+~

The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.

Matt 25:40

One Month Home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

July 31, 2013 By Sherry Leave a Comment

WOW!!!! Where does the time go really??

We have been home a month now and there has been so much going on over here in our little world of Lilly.

I can not even begin to express..how in love I am with this little precious soul.

God has blessed our family beyond measure.

They say adoption is not for the faint at heart…and I will agree 100% with this statement. From all the paperwork before you even start, to fundraising (which sent me over the edge more times then not), traveling a gazillion miles, going into a third world country and navigating their govermental system. NOT EASY!!!!!!!

BUT…I would do it again tomorrow….(oh that’s right we are doing this again..you can read about that here). I would walk through fire to get my girl and I will walk through fire again to get our son.

I hear all the time that SHE is so blessed to have us…well…let me tell you..WE are the blessed ones. I see the eyes of Jesus every time I look into her sweet little eyes. I see redemption everyday.

I understand more fully now how God fought for us by giving His son for us..Because I would give my life for this girl…for all my children.

What the adoption of our sweet Lilly has done for me is..set me ablaze to bring our son home. NO child I mean, NO child, should have to sit in an orphanage waiting…waiting to be reunited with family, waiting for a foster family, waiting for their forever family. WAITING TO BE LOVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I won’t stop until he is home..FOREVER!!!!!!

Here is just a glimps into our sweet little life of Lilly.

Our mornings start with tea for mom and reading for Little Lady.

My sweet sister Mya.

My Big Sister Lydia.

My friend Noah..we were reunited again..

Oh How I love my DADA!

People have asked if she is always smiling and this happy..I get to say YES she is. She does have her moments and she is learning her voice…but all in all she is just a happy sweet little girl that loves BIG!!!

Oh sweet Lilly, how your family adores you sweet Little Lady…you captured us at your first smile and you have us forever.

May people see the Glory of God in your eyes and your story…because you will most definatly have a story. We love you Lilly more then we could ever express.

To God be The Glory!!!!!!!

Our Story Continures…….

July 23, 2013 By Sherry 1 Comment

As I posted yesterday..(you can read it here), I stated there was more to our story. Well… are you ready??

“We learned that orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They are easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they’re not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes.” – Radical by David Platt.

This quote pretty much sums up exactly how it is for our family. We have witnessed, we have seen, we have held, everything has changed..we are NOT done!

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You might be saying!

Alot of you know our story by now. We had a referral back in Nov, lost it..super long story we can’t share here, but you can ask me and I will tell you.

Well at the time of that lost referral we got put on a weight list..kinda not thinking much would really happen soon regarding that.

But about a week before we left to get our sweet Lilly…I turned to the hubster and said wouldn’t it just be like God to give a referral right as we are leaving. I mean how perfect then we could meet the child face to face etc and take our dossier (the gazillion papers you to need for the court), but no that wouldn’t happen…I mean that would take a miracle.

UMMMMMM……well two days before we left we got the email…YOU HAVE A REFERRAL!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT!!!!!

THE MIRACLE!!!!

I started to shake…I couldn’t catch my breath literally.

This is pretty much what I looked like..

REALLY GOD right now!!

We did what we knew best, we prayed like crazy.

WE both came to that conclution..YES!! This is from God and this little guy whom we will call “Little E” was meant to be in our family. From the beginning of this all we have known God was calling us to two children, but didn’t know what that looked like.

After being in UG for a week we went to meet out Little E…he stole our hearts.

His story is so tragic, it won’t be something I am sharing, but know he needs to come home to his FOREVER FAMILY SOON!!!

Meet our little guy (we can’t show his face right now).

He is almost 3yrs old…and fits perfect into our family. We got to spend a couple of days getting to know him..what a sweetie.

You may ask why, well the answer is simple…because this is what we have been called to do…we have the love in our family to give to a child that does not have the love of a family. Our hearts our wide open to God’s call on our family. Little E is part of that call.

Until I had sweet Lilly in my arms, did I know the love I had in me to love a child that another mother birthed.

We have been given a gift that could never be replaced.

We are excited to bring this little guy in to our home, to have the brother and sisters that he has never had.

How are we going to do this, we don’t know, but God does.

This last adoption wiped us out financially, mentally and physically..(remember I broke my foot and toe), but God took care of us before, He will do it again.

Will we fundraise??? Yes we have to…what will those fundraisers look like?

We don’t know.

But one thing we do know is, he is OUR son. That God loves him more then we ever could and He will bring home. He has to, we don’t have the means to do it…but He did it before He will do it again..for His little son..

I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. John 14:18

I will continue to raise money with my little Etsy shop.

We will have other fundraisers, but we wait on the Lord to tell us where to spend out time and energy in it. Because frankly, I am burned out from fundraising, I have been going at it for over a yr and a half.

But there is no giving up now…there is a little boy a bazillion mile away relying on his family and God to get him home forever.

We have an immediate need of 2000.00.

I am not good at this at all..I mean not at all..so bare with me…but we need your help. First and foremost….

Please be in prayer with us through this adoption, spread the word about out story…and if you feel led…you can click on link below and make a donation to getting our little guy home.

We are beyond blessed and grateful God has chosen our family.

As always…to GOD BE THE GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BIG Hallalujah!!!

July 21, 2013 By Sherry 2 Comments

It has been some time since I have posted. But now I get to post the happiest news ever..it is that we are finally HOME!!!!!

Daddy greeted us home.

We have been home now 3wks now, the time sure does go by so fast.

As I sit here and look at our beautiful daughter, it is all so surreal. I really takes my breath way at times. I can’t believe that a yr and half ago, The Lord planted a seed and now that seed has grown.

I am in complete awe in His love for our family. It has not been an easy road at all with al the things we have gone through during this time..but I have seen beauty in it all…even death.

God is GOOD ALL THE TIME!!!!!!

I will not go into our daughters life leading up to us, because well that’s her story to tell.

But I will say this..our God was there ever step of the way leading to us. He showed up time and time again while in Uganda.

As most of you know I broke my left foot, then a few days later broke my right baby toe. Such a long story…I just couldn’t believe that only after three days with our daughter this was happening and my husband was leaving in just a few short days…What was I to do????

Well God is that good..He has planned months before the meeting of new friends, whom I was able to stay with while in UG…Praise God!!!! I could not of done this with out Shawn and Sarah and little Jethro.

My total time in UG was 4wks start to finish…unheard of. When most people had to wait hours at at govermental appts, I waited an hour or under. When people had to wait weeks for documents, we waited few short days. When they said you don’t want this judge or that judge…He gave us the perfect one for us..whom said YES!!!!

My little faith doubted, feared and struggled. But God’s faithfulness NEVER left.

ONLY GOD! You can’t look at our story and NOT see God!!

He took a broken, messed up women..planted a seed of HOPE, FAITH and REDEPTION. He started and saw it to the end. PRAISE GOD!!

We are so in love with this little princess that I can’t get enough of her. She is a pure joy and is adjusting well for the most part.

I see things daily that remind me she was in an orphanage…but those things will fade soon. They are not big things but things that do matter. But through that, she smiles all the time…she is happy, like I haven’t seen a child.

From our family to yours we want to thank each and every person one of you that have Prayed, financially suppoted us, bought something from my little Etsy shop or paticipated in a fundraiser. We could not of done it without you.

You had a HUGE part in bringing our beauty home. Forever we will be in gradituted. My heart sweels thinking about it.
