It’s Time to Make a Difference.

Well, this is it, friends.
Several months ago, we (I feel like we’ve been on this journey together) began reading and weeping over the plight of orphans in the world.
Then we started praying.
Then planning.
Then blogging.
Slowly and steadily, we’ve found structure and focus for our dream of a project that will reach out beyond our borders and [...]

Tuesday’s Child – Volume 7

Though I’ve never met this young lady, she’s become dear to my heart over the past few months.  Her name is Judy and she is one of “God’s Dear Somebody’s” at Kings Kids Village in Nairobi.  Judy came to KKV two years ago and she has quite a story.  Her mama died while giving birth [...]

I Dare You.

Please note this important statistic: a girl with an education will invest 90% of her income back into her family (a man invests 35% in the family) and yet 99.4% of international aid dollars will NOT go to her.
It’s time to get involved,

Tuesday’s Child – Vol. 6

This week, I have a Tuesday’s Child gift for you and it’s not a puppy (sorry).  It’s the gift of passion.  I can hear you already, “Oh no…not more passion!”  I know how you feel.  But trust me, this is really good!
So, ever since I saw this video,  I have wanted this book:

It was released [...]

Tuesday’s Child – Volume 5

Hey – here’s a question:  what – in your opinion – was the most sinful city in the Bible?  Time’s up!  Did you say Sodom?  Cuz if you did, you win.  Chances are, even if you said something other than Sodom (like Babylon or Las Vegas) it still would have been in your top 5, [...]

Tuesday’s Child – Volume 4

Well, rats! Technical issues are giving me trouble.
T-R-O-U-B-L-E.
And that trouble is preventing me from telling you what I SO DEARLY want to tell you. However, my wonderful friend and long suffering mentoree, Elisa, sent me this amazing video this week and I thought it was perfect for Tuesday’s Child. While it shines [...]

Tuesday’s Child, Volume 3

Oh, goodness…let me first start with an apology. Because of my focus this week on MY child (and my emotional instability upon losing her to the world outside our city), I didn’t get the post ready that I intended – the one that would introduce you to a truly beautiful and heroic young woman [...]

Tuesday’s Child, Vol. 2

I love this photo – my brother-in-law, Jon, posted it several months ago on his blog and it moved me deeply then. I love Kings Kids Village! It’s spacious and beautiful and situated on several lush, green acres that are perfect for running and playing and kicking a soccer ball. The building [...]

Tuesday’s Child

I just read that weird little poem yesterday – Monday’s child is fair of face, Tuesday’s child is full of grace. Today I find myself hoping for so much grace for so many children who are on my heart. My five kids, yes…but also OUR 143 million kids. They belong to all [...]

Somebody

There are 143 million orphans in the world today.
It would take thousands of words and blog posts to explain all that has been happening in my heart this year with regard to that one sentence. I have felt like an observer at my own operation: watching God-the-surgeon peel back layers of my heart and [...]
