Livin' The ADOPTION Dream


This is the His Heart for Orphans Live the Dream booth crew. Cept' Megan, she was off eating when we took this picture. We are in the I Carry Hope tent outside the conference (see my last couple post for info about the tent) and we WERE selling scarves as well as T-shirts but the scarves are all gone!! 85 gone in like two hours! Praise God!! Cuz' all this money goes to start an adoption fund so we can provide grants for HPC families who want to adopt but feel that adoption expenses are just insurmountable.

Aimee, Stephanie, Dina, Natalie, Evangeline and Megan you are all the best people to work with!!


Me and Natalie Landry ( I know I got the double chin thing going but it's a good pic of Natalie and my shirt :-) She brought these scarves back from Ethiopia in September when she went to get her baby girl Olive. She used the same agency we did, adoptionguides.org.


E helping that ladies pick a scarf. It was CA-RA-ZY!!



Table of shirts..

OH yea, if you want to order a T-shirt and you aren't at the conference, you will have to e-mail His Heart For Orphans at ephesians1five@cox.net and tell them the size and color you want. We have white long sleeve and black, grey, and brown short sleeve. They are women cut, fitted T's. Like in the pictures above, I have on a large, so that can help you see how they fit. They sell for $20 plus shipping.

Will blog more later...

yeah I got this really pretty one for 25 dollars with my own money and it was this light bluey green color with this gold patter at each end and it was sooo pretty! I'm glad that I got something I really like that was helping a very good cause, since I want to adopt when I grow up.

Gay Adoption

This week our Louisiana state senate was presented legislation that would allow both partners in a homosexual relationship to be named as a parent in an adoption of a child . pro-family and political Christian organizations were at the capital "fighting for traditional families" And they won, the law expansion was not approved. I'm all for free speech, fighting for what you believe in, so they have a right to speak out if they feel so led. I don't know every person that was at the capital fighting against this law expansion, but I do know many of them, and of the ones I know, NONE of them have ever adopted. I would hope they had at least funded an adoption, are part of a mentoring program for children in foster care or something that helps orphans, but I don't know if that's the case either. I do believe from over 25 years of being a part of many pro-life, pro-family political action groups, that most of the people who are in these groups have no adopted

The Womb, Being a Woman and Baby Loss

Image
 Chrissy Teigen and John Legend lost their baby last week and the hateful, pro pre-born baby crowd came out in full anti-Christ form to attack a grieving family. The adrenaline rush from the hate filled comment section on their social media will be their reward, I won't give them any more attention. No, in this post I'm going to talk about womb issues, empathize with a grieving family and share my story. From the time I was twelve until I had a hysterectomy at age forty I dealt with excruciating pain at the beginning of my periods most months due to Endometriosis. It also caused me trouble getting pregnant and caused me to have a horrific pregnancy. My doctor said he was surprised I got pregnant at all. After we had Evangeline I wanted to have more kids so we tried mild fertility pills which made the Endometriosis worse. There was one point during the treatment when my period was late so I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. I was so excited. All the pain and fertility t

Holding the Snake by His Head

Image
I had a dream this morning, it started out with me standing in the front yard of my childhood home holding a rattlesnake's mouth shut with my thumbs on top, four fingers on bottom. He was glaring at me with eyes that said "let up your grip and I'll strike hard and fast" I was walking out of my house into the yard with him just'a twitching and flailing around furiously. There were other people around me but I couldn't make out their faces ( you know how dreams are) but I was holding it and trying to figure out how to kill a snake when you're squeezing his mouth shut with your hands. Should I hold him high above my head and throw him like I'm tossing a basketball back in play? No, I can't throw far, he'll probably fall on my head and bite my neck! Should I have someone cut his body off while I'm still holding his mouth shut? Should I get someone to stab him in the head, between my thumbs, risking my hands getting cut? Oh lord, what am I go
