Chef Jailyn!
Not one of my other kids ever wanted to help in the kitchen like Jailyn does! We really need a stool for Jailyn to be able to reach the counter, but for now we use the high chair! Jailyn and Mom are making a new dish with some of our left over turkey!
This is where we go to church in McKinney Tx. We first visited FBC Easter Sunday 2006, and have felt that is where God wanted us to be from that first visit!
If you live near by and would like to visit - we would love to have you. We meet at The Zone on Custer Road.
To raise funds for our adoption of Jorja I am making custom dresses! $25 for dress $30 for dress and pants. Email me and we can get your order started. soccermom@tx.rr.com
Dress with coordinating pants $30
Isn't Jailyn too cute!
Forever Family Bracelet
My dear friend of www.ellarosejewelry.com has designed this beautiful sterling silver bracelet to help raise funds to bring Jorja home. Let me know if you are interested in purchasing one, or two. $25 each.
Soilder and baby!
This little girl was made an orphan by the insurgents in Iraq. Seems she will only rest on this soilders chest! What a difference he is making in her life! Thank you!
One night, I had a wondrous dream; One set of footprints there was seen. The footprints of my precious Lord, But mine were not along the shore. But then some stranger prints appeared, And I asked the Lord, "What have we here?" "Those prints are large and round and neat, But, Lord, they are too big for feet." "My child," He said in somber tones. "For miles I carried you alone. I challenged you to walk in faith, But you refused and made me wait. You disobeyed, you would not grow, The walk of faith you would not know. So I got tired and fed up, And there I dropped you on your butt, Because in life, there comes a time, When one must fight and one must climb, When one must rise and take a stand, Or leave some butt prints in the sand."
