The story of our family through the joys and sorrows of adoption and fostering. Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Well bust my buttons! Well, bust my buttons! I thought I should continue in my Wizard of Oz blog analogies when describing the knock my sox off feeling of ending Adopted for Life, praying over today's virtue (courage) and beginning Beth Moore's 90 day study of the apostle Paul. And yes, Momma Smith, that's the "Have a Great Day" bean plant going strong! Posted by Amber Smith. Links to this post.

Fostering Hope: April 2011
http://cheaperbythedozenataleofyoursmineours.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
The story of our family through the joys and sorrows of adoption and fostering. Tuesday, April 26, 2011. If I lived what I believe, my life would look very different. If I walked confidently in the promises of God and His truth I would never be downcast, disappointed, discourage, label myself a failure or feel that in any way I do not have what it takes to accomplish His will for my life. If I truly lived what I believe my life would look drastically different. And because you belong to him, the power.

Fostering Hope: Weird Parenting: Craig's List
http://cheaperbythedozenataleofyoursmineours.blogspot.com/2011/05/weird-parenting-craigs-list.html
The story of our family through the joys and sorrows of adoption and fostering. Friday, May 6, 2011. Weird Parenting: Craig's List. We're called to be wonderfully weird parents: moms and dads who engage with their kids, fully in the present moments of each day. Parents who navigate with their kids through the currents of culture using the compass of God's Word. Parents who overcome their fear with love, which is my definition of courage. And also my definition of weird. 1 Train them to manage God's money.

http://cheaperbythedozenataleofyoursmineours.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
The story of our family through the joys and sorrows of adoption and fostering. Friday, December 7, 2012. I gave up on blogging for a l-o-n-g time. Too many important things campaigning for my time and I'm notoriously lazy. Here's where we are about a year since my last post:. We now have one foot in the promised land! We cna see the light at the end of the tunnel. As usual we ask that you continue to pray protection over the children that have left our home. Sweet Jojo's birthday is coming up and it...

The story of our family through the joys and sorrows of adoption and fostering. Friday, December 7, 2012. Girl Makes Me Wanna B to the L-O-G-Blog. I would like to knock the world off it's feet, sit on it's chest and read this book aloud against it's will. I secretly think most of the world would stop squirming and listen with tears in their eyes. Then I might as well read you Seven: The Experimental Mutiny Against Excess and Erasing Hell. I mean seriously, where do you think you're going? God accepts me,...

Fostering Hope: Fill in the blank, the pot calling the kettle black
http://cheaperbythedozenataleofyoursmineours.blogspot.com/2011/08/fill-in-blank-pot-calling-kettle-black.html
The story of our family through the joys and sorrows of adoption and fostering. Monday, August 22, 2011. Fill in the blank, the pot calling the kettle black. A while back Max Lucado stepped out of a book. And challenged me through 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. Supposed I take love out of the equation. Supposed I put my name in it's place for kicks. Jesus had a lot to say to the religious leaders of his time. He revealed their hypocrisy publicly. We have more in common with them than we think. Woe to you (Amber),...
