I am the wife to the greatest man I know. I am a mom to five awesome kids, three of whom are miracles from China. Follow along on this journey we call LIFE, as we try to figure out what the Lord's perfect plan is for each one of us.
We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life. But those who make their journey home across time and miles, growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them, are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us by God's very own hands.~Kristi Larson
Colossians 3:23-24
And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
