Random Reflections: Celebration
http://randomreflectionsfromme.blogspot.com/2015/06/celebration.html
Monday, June 15, 2015. They walked into our life three days shy of Aly's thirteenth birthday. Almost five years later, we will celebrate the fact that they are ours forever. Adoption is a reality. Aly is now closing in on eighteen. She has never been a teen without these littles. Now her steps down the aisle, Pomp and Circumstance playing, remind me that our time with her is short. Graduation sends her proudly to the next step. College begins in August - nine hours from home. It almost does not seem fair...

Random Reflections: Adoption Reality
http://randomreflectionsfromme.blogspot.com/2015/06/adoption-reality.html
Tuesday, June 16, 2015. The mom and dad waited for weeks. Then the phone rang. Two more little ones, a blond haired little 19 month old boy and his sister, a 9 month old, blue eyed little girl needed a home. They entered the mom and dad's home and hearts on August 23, 2010. Each day together was another step in forever, though there was no certainty that forever for these little ones would mean life in this new home. Many visits, court appearances, and red tape turned into months and years. Over the next...

Musings of a Creative Spirit: About Me
http://stephaniekehr.blogspot.com/p/about.html
I'm afraid my body won't be able to keep up with my ambitions.". Hi, I'm Stephanie. I'm a twenty-something writer, journalist, and author of the book Reaching Home. The most important thing I've learned from this blog is that I am ever changing and ever growing. These pages are an outlet for my growing up and even though they sometimes might look a little a little crayon-scribbled and coffee stained, God will always. Been here in these words working through me. And that's changed me too. You are beautifu...

Random Reflections: Moments of Sanity
http://randomreflectionsfromme.blogspot.com/2015/06/moments-of-sanity.html
Friday, June 26, 2015. There are moments that God strategically places in my day that remind me that I have not completely lost it. You know those times when you say to yourself, "I just might make it through this day." I call these moments of sanity. Being able to pour AND drink a second cup of coffee ranks pretty high on that list. We pulled out a stack of books earlier, sat on the floor, and enjoyed some sing-songy picture books - the kind that make you sway and giggle. I love to read to kids. She is ...

Random Reflections: God, please give me a changed heart.
http://randomreflectionsfromme.blogspot.com/2015/08/god-please-give-me-changed-heart.html
Wednesday, August 5, 2015. God, please give me a changed heart. God, please create in me a new heart and renew a right spirit within me. David knew what he was talking about when he poured his soul. My heart hurts many days as others' words are thrown toward me. My head tends to spin as the many demands push me faster and faster. My expecations, which I felt were clear, lay unheaded, smack in my face, they almost sting. Oh, I fail at that miserably. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). He is a hard workin...

Random Reflections: Maddie's Poem - "Mice"
http://randomreflectionsfromme.blogspot.com/2015/06/maddies-poem-mice_16.html
Tuesday, June 16, 2015. Maddie's Poem - "Mice". Words are a gift. Today, I was gifted with this sweetness from Maddie. She sat in our kitchen, green marker writing on a simple, lined paper. Her words would not change the world, but they certainly made me smile. They did not take long to write, and they express a simplicity of ideas. Please enjoy this step back to childhood. Savor the words. I was walking through the house. When at once I saw a mouse. He ran across the floor. I looked, and there was more.
