The Wait

Posted on June 1, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

God doesn’t operate on our time clock. Today is my 2-year anniversary. We downloaded our adoption application to Three Angel’s Children’s Relief orphanage in Haiti exactly two years ago. At the time, we were told to expect our adoption to take approximately 18 months. Well, eighteen months has come and gone, with some days barely… Continue reading

What are You Waiting For?

Posted on April 25, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

My daughter picked up her phone and noticed this ridiculous message, “iphone is disabled. Try again in 23,117,684 minutes.” That translates into 385,295 hours or 16,053 days. Better said, it translates to nearly 44 years. That’s a long time to wait for her iphone to work again! During this thing we do called LIFE, there are times when… Continue reading

So you think you can dance?

Posted on March 29, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

Oh yah! That’s my boy—the one with all the dance moves! It’s official…this super white family just moved up a notch on the coolness factor. (Seriously, we are so white that even with spray tans we end up white, white and whiter). Our boy Comerson was given our last name this week. Yep, he is… Continue reading

Rockstar Sandy

Posted on March 21, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

This is Sandy. She is a rock star, at least in my eyes. She became a missionary full-time two years ago. After her husband passed away, she decided to move to Haiti to work at my son’s orphanage, Three Angels Children’s Relief. She realized if she still has breath in her lungs, then God is… Continue reading

Mama’s First Kiss

Posted on February 27, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

There’s nothing quite like a Mama’s First Kiss! We started our adoption journey nearly 2 years ago. The first time we met our son face-to-face was last June. To be honest, he was scared to death of my husband, my kids and me. As much as his nanny would try to persuade him to come to… Continue reading
