how can I register so I can see your independent adoption page? I am interested in adopting from Zambia and I was curious as to how long the whole process took you and what all happened.

Comment on Ciabatta sandwich buns by åslaug

Hello, the buns look lovely, I’d like to try the recipe one day! I found your blog through your comment on Jess at Making Home’s post on abortion, and I was thinking about writing you an email. Well, it’s a comment for now. I’ve looked around your blog and I’ve enjoyed my time here, I really have.

Well, reason that I came. Your statement, quoting:

But pain is a reality of life on earth, and the amount of resulting pain is not an indicator of the rightness or wrongness of the choice.

is so so true. We often tend to have a misunderstanding about that right=good. Well, of course right is good. But it doesn’t necessarily feels good, sounds good, or is experienced as good. That you have a peace in your heart about something doesn’t mean that your life or circumstances are at peace. Often rather on the contrary.

I am just so thankful to finally hear someone speak it out.
Thank you,
and Thank You, God!
Blessings in Christ Jesus,
åslaug

I was going to write you a mail, but for now it’s a comment. I found your blog through your comment on Jess at Making Home’s abortion post. it’s the reason that I’m here. But I also want to say that I’ve read a little around your blog and I have enjoyed it very much =)

Reason that I came:
I’ve quoted you on this. It’s the best statement I’ve heard in a very, very long time. And its truth challenges me deeply:

“But pain is a reality of life on earth, and the amount of resulting pain is not an indicator of the rightness or wrongness of the choice.”

It is so true. We often have this misunderstanding about that right =good. Of course right is good. But not necessarily feeling good, or sounding good or be experienced as good. We often say that we “feel a peace” about something when we’ve been praying to know God’s will in a certain matter. Yes, we do feel peace. But peace is a matter on the inside, not always on the outside.

Anyway. Doing what I know God wants me to do (even if I do not know why it is good, I have to trust Him that He knows best), even if it’s “killing me” it is good.

Comment on Adoption: Joy and sorrow by Amy

I completely understand. We are in the process of adopting a child from foster care, and although I wholeheartedly wish for a child, there is a side of me that knows that means a mother will have to give up her child. It is a sobering feeling that many will never experience or know.

Comment on Preferential adopters by Amy

That’s fantastic! My husband and I are ‘preferential adopters’ as well. The term is quite weird. And it is terribly annoying that people always assume you are infertile and then when you correct them they look at you like you are crazy for adopting.

God Bless your family!

Comment on Crochet and babies! by Jacquie

I don’t use a serger on mine. I just turn the edge twice and baste it by hand and then when I am done with the crochet I pull the basting out.

Comment on Creative Endeavors: Hand embroidered onesies by Denise

Hi! I stumbled across your blog when I was looking for “How To” information on embroidering cotton onesies. I absoluteley love the “Cutie Pie” onesie and would love to make one for a friend. Can you tell me how you did the work on a stretch knit? Do you put something inside the onesie to stabilize the stitches and keep them from stretching with the onesie fabric? Any advice you have would be SO helpful and much appreciated! Also, are those your own designs or did you find the darling pie pattern somewhere?
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing from you…I’m certain the recipients of your gifts will be in awe of your work!

Oh, those are such a beautiful sight! We used to have a schlotzkys in town and it went bust; I almost cried I loved their sandwiches so much! I’ll have to get my daughter, the resident bread-baker, onto this recipe. TFS!
