Year: 2009

  • So Long, 2009.

    I’m really not quite sure where I’m headed with this post, and I need to keep it brief as we’re headed onto our traditional New Year’s Eve plans in a couple of hours. Lindsey’s currently in the kitchen making fruit salsa chips which are amazing, and I am here just buying some time until I…

  • I Thank My God Every Time I Remember You.

    I know, I know, I’m a little bit late to be talking about Thanksgiving and things that we can be thankful about.  I’m sure that we’ve all gotten our fill of turkey and pumpkin pie and have packed up the fall decorations and have trimmed the Christmas tree already.  But, I would like to go…

  • Trust and obey, for there’s no other way.

    Hello, this is Lindsey!  Scott has been sluggish in updating his blog, so I thought that I would give a whirl at it.  I wanted to post an update about where we are at the process of bringing home our child, along with how God is working through the whole process. We are currently going…

  • I will move ahead, bold and confident.

    As Fall has come, and the summer has passed there has been a lot of interesting changes in our daily Christian walk. Lindsey and I have been very busy with our jobs lately and for awhile it felt like we were getting nothing done for our adoption. The first important steps have been completed for…

  • Positive Thoughts Continued.

    Though I won’t share the entire context here on this blog, Lindsey did receive a reply back from 104.9 the River over the weekend in regards to this email she sent out. The reply didn’t come from David Emerson, but from Todd Stach, the program director of the station. In a nutshell, Todd explains that…

  • Here’s our River Positive Thought..

    On 104.9 The River you will hear “Positive Thoughts” daily which include quotes from listeners like “Share a fact and you touch a mind. Share a story and you touch a soul.” or “love is a verb, and so is forgiveness”. Some of which make little sense or have no practical Truth in them. Here’s…

  • And so the paperwork begins..

    The first big fee is paid, and we are now a client of Christian World Adoption. The reality of what Lindsey and I are undertaking is starting to hit us, though I think it will take a bit longer for it to fully sink in. Shortly after we announced we were adopting we filled out…

  • Put your shoes on and make yourself uncomfortable.

    I came to the realization the other day that my greatest sin of all is not the most obvious. It’s not so much what I do, but lack thereof. This is called sin of omission. I probably have felt more guilt, sorrow, and anger at myself at this type of sin than the more obvious…

  • Answering His Call. We have an Announcement..

    It is with much excitement tonight that Lindsey and I feel it is time to take an opportunity to share in detail what God has been doing in our lives this summer. To say we saw the changes coming would probably be a lie. Not even a month ago did I fully understand what He…

  • Rid me of myself, I belong to You.

    What a trying week this has been. But I promise that it hasn’t been all bad. A lot of good is happening in our lives right now. I probably got a little carried away when I twittered that I was at a breaking point. In fact, in all actuality, nothing but good is surfacing. It’s…
