Alive & Well


Thank you for all your kind words and concern! I know I dropped off the map without warning and I promise I'll be back in full swing in a couple of weeks. My head and heart feel knotted congestion, with no release on words. My absence does not equate to drama, I simply had to retreat and concentrate on the final push of getting through my Master's. I'll be done in a few weeks; I'm counting the days.

We have so much to catch up on....our trip with Rebekah was wonderful. She has become a sister to me and I miss her so much when we're apart! I've been named executive director of the foster adoption agency I spoke of several months ago. Our doors will open soon and Ben and I plan to be the first application processed. 

Tyrus turned two, we took our first family camping trip, and I was just presented an opportunity to teach my first business class, in the fall.

There is much in my heart to share...but I must continue to focus my energy on finishing my last MBA class and putting the final touches on my thesis, while helping build a much-needed agency that addresses concerns left in the wake of a broken foster care system.

I feel as though I'm climbing up out of a blender. My thoughts and plans for our future have been mashed and pulsed through God's prodding, but I know the pouring season is about to begin.
I love you and miss you and promise to be back soon. We'll dive into my heart together and talk about what God's been doing in my life.

I hope you're all enjoying your summers - I can't wait to reconnect!

  17. Hi Beuatiful mama!!!
    I come here often to see how you are doing...living and loving and dreaming and wishing...and trusting....

    i wanted to share with you...because i know how much you love God, and how He is blessing each one of us...

    we put an application in to adopt another child and the social worker phoned us last night asking if we can be in South Africa next week to get our baby! (we are currently living in Malaysia) .

    It is little 3 month old baby girl and her name is Bella. We are flying out to South Africa this Tuesday evening, arriving there at around 7am and will then go pick up our little baby girl. We have never had a baby...when we got kellen he was 18months old...

    we (again!) have nothing for a little baby...except love! i went to the shops today and got soooo overwhelmed. i forgot for a moment that we can really buy the clothes because we are becoming a mama and papa... i even bought the clothes in the wrong sizes! :-)

    i just wanted to share this with you. i know how cllose your heart is to God and that we trust in the same God.

    I hope you, your husband and your little boy is doing great and that your studies are nearly done!

    Think of you often,

    Lin xx
