First of all, I want to make sure to mention the upcoming Jacksonville Fundraiser. I know that the event is tomorrow (at 7:00pm at Christ’s Church Mandarin) but there is still time to sign up and come. This is a very important event in the life of All Things New, so if you live in […]
I’m sitting in the Miami airport, by myself again. I think this is the 6th time I have come to Haiti since Sophie was born, so writing this type of blog is getting old. I do have some really good news though…After a few months in the adoption finalization process and then getting other paperwork […]
Since we finished our chronological reading of the Bible a couple of weeks ago, I have picked up my personal study of the book of Acts. I just finished Acts 4 last night so I wanted to share some thoughts about the 2 chapters and how I hope they change and shape my life. In […]
If you have been keeping up with us lately, you have probably heard the term “business sponsorships.” I want to go into a little more detail about why we are doing this and what it will look like long-term. I also want to give credit to the person who came up with this idea, Jennifer […]
I want to start this post off by giving a disclaimer about the title…I do not necessarily think you have to choose between buildings and people. Sometimes you do, but that is not the point of the blog. I simply want to talk about how GOD has changed the direction of All Things New over […]
I am sitting in the Miami airport waiting for my Dad’s flight to arrive so we can have lunch together and then fly down to Haiti. I have not been back to Haiti since moving the kids in back at the end of February (read about that story here), and I have a few different […]
As Jess and I finished up reading through the Bible in a year chronologically, 1 John 2:6 was one of those verses that just kind of startled me. I was up reading it pretty late one night, and it was one of those “wake you up and make you pay attention” type moments that you […]
If you remember from our previous post, Friday was such a long day that we had to break it up into 2 parts! If you missed “Moving In Day 2 (Part 1)” please click on the link to read it or this blog will not make any sense! I will pick up right where I […]
Hopefully you read the blog “Moving In Day 1” and got a sense of how Thursday was as we moved our kids into their new homes. It was really one of the craziest days I can remember ever having, and I was looking forward to Friday and being able to do some troubleshooting with Gina […]
Yesterday (This was actually Thursday, but to go along with everything else, my internet stopped working Thursday morning!) was move-in day! It was a very crazy day, but the kids are in their new home and we are one step closer to having our rental house ready for when Jess and Sophie come down. I […]
Since Part 1 ended where we were last Tuesday with 4 rental options, I thought I would list them here and then tell you why they either would or would not work well. If you missed part 1, this probably does not make sense so click here to read it and get caught up. Anyway, […]
As you probably know, this past week was a busy week of making final decisions about where we would move our kids. It looks like we will be moving them on Wednesday or Thursday of this week and we are all very excited about it! There are some difficult things that we will have to […]
