Why blog???

Over the years, I've learned that the best form of therapy is to share life's experiences with others! I'm a craft ADDICT, my Cricut is my newest crafting toy, teaching is a passion and I love sharing my knowledge with others, Focused Ed, is a huge blessing and is the business my bestie and I started when we left the public school classroom in August of 2013, take more pictures than I can scrapbook, and most importantly....Bryan and I became parents to our sweet miracle baby, Cooper Kenneth, June 25th, 2014! Our journey for adoption was simply a God-story and we hope it gives you a glimpse into the power of prayer and real life miracles!!! As life after adoption has progressed I find myself steeped in our church, small groups, and living life for the Lord and having fun while doing it. I'm real, honest and am an open book, I believe there is power in sharing the good, the bad and the ugly, in celebrating victories and mourning loss and struggle.

I used to blog recipes, but...well, I have a 3 year old and much more important things to do than take time for new recipes, but the ones on my other blog are yummy - In all that is Good!

Prayer Warriors

We are fully aware of the power of prayer when it comes to our sweet boy, Cooper.  So, today I come to you asking you to join me again in prayer, not for us, but for a dear friend and her family.  S & C are fighting to gain custody of their young son, who is currently living with his mother in central Texas.  She has kept him from his father, step-mom, and 2 sisters for almost a year now.  She has lied and made terrible allegations to the courts about more things than I can begin to list in this blog.  She will not allow the boy to speak with his father.  She has not shown up to court mandated visits.  She has fired her legal counsel and has been ordered to appear in court on Monday to prove her accusations, which she can't do, because they are all bogus.  Please help us cover this sweet family in prayer.

Specific Prayers: That the judge's eyes are open to her lies and manipulation.  For the judge to order what is BEST for the son.  Calm, peace, & comfort as they prepare to appear in court on Monday.  For their son to not have believed the lies that have been told to him about his father and step-mom.  Safe travels.  And ultimately that YOUR WILL be done and for all to know that HE has a plan, good will come of this, whether it's now or later..it is HIS timing.

Thank you so much!  I know they appreciate it and will feel HIS peace as court gets closer!

All my love,
Jess
