The Rambling Radfords: January 2014

http://ramblingradfords.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

These are the ramblings, roamings and ruminations of four Radfords serving in Guatemala. Tuesday, January 21, 2014. Life in the Crucible. Have you ever had a season of your life that felt like you were living in the crucible? What exactly is a crucible you ask? It can be a bowl for collecting metal that has been heated to extremely high temperatures, it can be an extreme testing or trial, or it can be a mortar bowl and pestle which are used for crushing herbs and spices. These are some of my foundational...

La Dolce Vita: "The Sweet Life": Undone (A Book Review)

http://radicchis.blogspot.com/2015/05/undone-book-review.html

Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Undone (A Book Review). I nodded my head in agreement again and again reading this book. It ranks among my favorite books read in quite some time. It was real, raw, relatable. When praising this work to a friend, I said it was "like she wrote my story with her details". Please read this book. If your life story includes twists and turns, hurts and stretches, read this book. It's a gift. This book is a call to dig in when life gets hard, purge your perfection habit and lean into God...

Kingdom adventures… and the fun along the way. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Home At Last…. August 1, 2012. I can’t believe that I’m back home already. After a couple of flight delays and terminal changes in DFW airport, I’m home. It is quite possible that my first meal back was bbq. Some of you will find this funny. I am constantly eating bbq at the restaurant where I work… but I missed it! I promise more will come! It’s just too good not to share. August 1, 2012. July 28, 2012.

http://ramblingradfords.blogspot.com/2014/02/i-have-dream.html

These are the ramblings, roamings and ruminations of four Radfords serving in Guatemala. Tuesday, February 4, 2014. I have a dream . . . These thoughts have been rambling around in my head the last few weeks. As we work with families who are making hard choices about education, it has inspired me to have my own dreams. I have a dream. I dream that parents don’t have to choose which one of theirs kids can go to school this year. I dream that one day, every boy and every girl. I have a dream. If you would ...

Kingdom adventures… and the fun along the way. Skip to primary content. July 28, 2012. Goodness. I’ve missed this view. How gorgeous God’s creation is. I wanted to update everyone just a little bit on what I’ve been doing since I’ve been back in Pana. I’ve been privileged enough to stay this last week with the Radford family. They moved to Guatemala a couple of years ago and ended up being called to start a ministry called Redeemer’s House. A little fun includes a fry daddy palooza. Basically, we fry...

These are the ramblings, roamings and ruminations of four Radfords serving in Guatemala. Saturday, October 27, 2012. Growing Community and Passing it on . . .

La Dolce Vita: "The Sweet Life": Beyond Ourselves: My Gotcha Day Reality

http://radicchis.blogspot.com/2015/08/beyond-ourselves-my-gotcha-day-reality.html

Saturday, August 01, 2015. Beyond Ourselves: My Gotcha Day Reality. It’s the pinnacle of the adoption journey. We build a beautiful image of what gotcha day will be, and hold hard to that as we wait. Much preparation goes into readiness for caring for the child we’ve seen only in pictures. We study bonding techniques and possible reactions, and pack and repack little backpacks. But as moms can do, we often fail to prepare our own hearts. Beautiful and honorable feelings? But in God’s sovereignty ov...

http://radicchis.blogspot.com/2014/09/22-big-family-facts.html

Saturday, September 06, 2014. 22 Big Family Facts. Parents are not obligated to use correct names.

Olympic events with pizza slices as medals for those who finish. Somebody needs a band-aid. 5 Nobody bathes alone, except momma. (Hear that lock turning? Ah, sharing.). 7 There is a toilet that needs to be flushed.

Tuesday, January 14, 2014. A Letter From Us. We've been home less than two months. Can you believe it? We know we brought a bit of crazy to your ordered, comfortable world. You and daddy seem tired.frazzled even. and sometimes grumpy. Maybe we turned your world upside down. Ours is upside down too. You guys are kind though. The hugs feel good and you take such good care of us. The best thing? Probably a real good idea. Can you keep showing us grace? Keep singing "Jesus Loves Me" into our ears. It jus...
