This book is a peek into my journey through fostering and adopting children. It's also the story of how I became so passionate about "the lost children" in our society, both in the USA and abroad. While fostering children was not a choice for me, I never thought I could emotionally handle it, it became an eye-opener to the number of abused and neglected children that live just around the corner. From the first two children that came for the weekend, to the ones that came after we were officially foster parents, I never regretted a minute. ...

None of us start off life saying, “I want to be a failure,” or “I want to grow up and get divorced someday,” or “Someday I hope I’ll become a drug addict, or a widow, or sleep around with lots of people, or fail at business, or go bankrupt.” Our childlike faith convinces us we’ll do better, that we’ll defy the odds somehow. But life has a way of showing up and kicking the tar out of that simple, childlike faith, doesn’t it? Whether it’s from our own choices and decisions, or from the choices and decisions of others, ultimately...

A note from your mom in your lunchbox because she knew you’d be having an especially hard day at school. A text from a fellow baseball mom just to say you were on her mind. A lipstick heart that your daughter drew on your bathroom mirror. An unexpected card from a childhood friend. There is something especially powerful and permanent about the written word of encouragement. And it doesn’t take much—just a small reminder that someone is thinking of you, that you’re not alone, that someone sees you, that we are in this together. Sister in Christ, I Need You is a collection...

WHISPERS OF GRACE is a fresh, new year long, daily devotional for those who need to hear a word from their Father God.

Then she would listen and record the impressions He placed on her heart. This is a compilation of those impressions. Each daily entry is written as if God is speaking directly and lovingly to the heart of the reader as His beloved child...personal, tender, and comforting. These excerpts are based...
