Category Archives: grateful  22 years ago, I was 3 years old and began to pray for a sister. Every day, with great expectation, I asked this new God-Who-Is-My-Friend for the desire of my heart – a sister. And one of the most vivid memories of my childhood is being woken up by my Daddy on the morning of…  Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him. Isaiah 30:18 Details and more pictures will come soon, but for now I wanted you all to know that…  Friends, I can’t watch this movie without crying. This little girl is an absolute miracle. There are details of the story so beautiful, so intimate, that I could never express them in words, but just know that these videos don’t even tell the half. Please enjoy this clip from the Swinger family’s recent vacation: (and…  On March 6th, one year ago today, unbeknownst to me, one of the most important people in my life was born. She was born just minutes from where I was peacefully sleeping, but her entrance to the world was anything but peaceful. Ali Rose’s mom, in giving life to her daughter, gave up her own….  the day is finally here Ali Rose and I are in Europe (with her daddy!) soon to be in New York and then walking off the plane in Nashville to meet her brothers and sister for the first time and be scooped up in her mommy’s arms again! (for those of you who didn’t hear,… 
So happy to see you with the red cup! Hope the next leg of the trip is smooth. 
Hey, what’s with the ring on your left hand? Are you engaged? 
Haha! No Bill. I think I just switched them over to get rid of the tan line.  There seems to be very little to celebrate right now. Our time at the clinic is coming to an end and we are both anticipating the sadness of losing our sweet friends there. Our sweet nanny is such a wonderful person, but is an endless source of frustration from 8am-5pm every day as our cross-cultural… 
I am grateful for you today and this post!!

What an amazing transformation love and prayers make!!! Good job, Mommas!!  I stumbled across a blog recently where the author posts “thank you” notes to people, events, places, and even things. I’ve started the same habit and have been pleasantly surprised to find what an attitude adjustment has occurred in me as I choose to look for things to be thankful for. Some of the notes…
Mandie, Great to see you on here and great to read your notes. Is that your real handwriting. We are doing well out here in Colorado. The boys are growing really fast and Liam starts school in the Fall. Time flies by. I remember being on the mission field and wishing that I had more people letting me know they were reading our updates. It is good to know that there are people out here who care and are praying for you. In Christ, Bill
