Let’s do some Math on this #5forFriday. •2,000 followers/friends x$5= $10,000 funds raised in one Friday •$10,000 x 32 (amount of Friday’s left) = $320,000$320,000 will fully fund the cost of materials to build TEN tiny homes!!! And it only takes $5 a week to make it happen! Can’t give, it’s ok! But sharing and asking others to join us is FREE and takes one minute. Join US in the making of HOLLAND, a tiny home community designed in support of independent living among the disabled community. The #5forFriday campaign is a commitment of giving only $5 each week. Together, we can accomplish BIG things, a little at a time.

Our Mother’s, Those who are seasoned, new, expe Our Mother’s, Those who are seasoned, new, expecting, birth, adoptive, step, bereaved, & dreaming for the day: We see you. We appreciate you. We love & adore you. Remember to take a break from doing ALL the things (which you’re AHHmazing at) and make a memory today! Drop some photos of you and Momma, you and the babies & let us celebrate you!!
The Saturday before Mother’s Day is recognized a The Saturday before Mother’s Day is recognized as Birth Mother’s Day. In my community of fellow adoptive mother’s I’ve noticed there is a love/hate relationship with today, and as I’ve grown further into the journey of being a Mother, I’ve come to be somewhere in the middle too. On one hand I am angry. Angry at the women who gave birth to them? Decided they couldn’t care for them? Didn’t want them? Didn’t want them because they are disabled? No. Their reasonings could be one of those, a mix of them or none of them. I don’t know their reasons behind deciding to walk away from them, and I’ll never know. I am angry at a society who told those women they couldn’t care for them; who shouldn’t care for them. It is not a secret that a harsh society in the place of their birth, told their people that children born with disabilities are a burden and a curse. It really isn’t so different here in the states either. I know differently than that. And, in the same sense I am grateful to the women who carried them in their wombs. Who gave life to them. Who chose life for them even though they wouldn’t know what that looked like. The women who nourished those tiny babies before choosing to hand them over and pray for a better life then they could provide. It’s heavy on my heart and mind, everyday and I think it always will be but, because those women chose life, I am privileged to call them my own.
What a remarkable morning for me (Hope) and our mi What a remarkable morning for me (Hope) and our ministry of OCB. Today, I stood with many women of God to listen to the testimonies of “Motherhood” and how it looks, feels, and is achieved in different ways. How it leads to work to greater the Kingdom of God and the work he calls us to. The main speaker was Andrea Krazeise, the Founder of @thepregnancycenters and she shared her own Mother’s amazing testimony of support during her teenage pregnancy from two women who worked with her in a factory. 💜 What an awesome and humbling privilege to have an opportunity to share our adoption story, to share of the ministry that followed and how we can support this community! @lifeway_church_family and the #WANTED conference is making an impact on expecting women who are frightened, feeling alone and hopeless in a time that should be rejoiced. If you are one of those women, no matter where you are in life, please know that there is HOPE, and people who will care for you.
