Shine Like Stars

Shine like stars in the universe as we hold out the Word of life (Phil. 2:15)
We're not trying to be rock stars but just shed some light on a sad and lonely world. Stay tuned for how God works through weak and tired, sometimes really cranky vessels.

Hey mom, addie loves u!


When I walked into the house tonight (after going to a late movie with the girls), this message was left for me right in the doorway. Hey Mom addie loves u.
I was struck, not by what he wrote but, that my baby boy is writting me notes. Caleb is starting Kindergarten next week and I'm so excited for him because I think he'll love it, but I'm also so sad that he's getting to be so old.
I have a feeling this note tells me a lot about their bedtime routine without me. It sounds like Addie never recovered from my departure. Her attachment to me makes me a little concerned about leaving her when we go to Ethiopia. Hopefully she'll do better then!
Everyone's asleep now so it's all good and I have a cute note from my boy:)

  2. Frame it and put it in your room! Love it...makes me so sentimental. Our daughter one time while away colored a pic of a princess and a prince- stuck them on our bedroom door with Mom & Dad at the top. I haven't been able to take them down. I love when your children are just sooo sweet!
