Oh. how I agree with this: "That he welcomes me into his family, despite such flaws, should give hope to us all."
Thanks for sharing this glimpse into your life, and welcome to High Calling Blogs. I will be looking forward to reading about your unusual life and what you glean from it spiritually…
Oh, and don't worry too much about little ones sucking their thumbs. I think we try to make kids grow up too fast sometimes.

I'm so glad you've joined High Calling Blogs! The chronicle of your journey will be a real blessing to our members. You have some beautiful boys and such a neat testimony! Thanks for being open about the ups and downs of the path your family has chosen. God bless you!
"Lots of food for thought here.
Jessica, we at THC are so glad you've joined the network. We love engaging in conversations about life, culture, work and family--and I know that we'll be blessed by the work you're doing, as in this very well-written post.
Welcome! "
"What a great post! :)I know what you mean about the tension between giving and providing for a family/kids/retirement. God keeps reminding me lately that He's my provider--not my employer, my husband, or other entities. I'm really glad you've joined our network at The High Calling. I hope you'll find it encouraging, challenging, and warm. Welcome aboard! "
I love your sense of humor and your obvious gift for words! I'm really glad you've joined THC and hope to get to know you better as you get involved in the network (you will get involved, won't you? Please?)...have a great day! You have a beautiful family, by the way.
"Wow. Thanks for challenging me today. I had never thought about getting to know him better in this way.
I am so excited that you've joined THC. I look forward to gleaning more from you-you have such a heart for adoption, for your family, and especially for JESUS. I can't wait to get to know you better!"
I love this! Thanks for sharing it. Our family has a mission statement and it's been so helpful. Welcome to THC! We look forward to getting to know you better.
I'm so glad you're sharing the ways God is working in the midst of your storm. My family and I have been through many trials over the past years, but God has been faithful. As another blogger wrote lately, we've been the grateful recipients of His absurd grace. :) Welcome to the High Calling blogs network--we're really grateful that you chose to join us.
Wow. I love this post. You have a real talent for capturing Truth through your words. I am thrilled that you've decided to join The High Calling community, and was touched by your post on "ordinary." Welcome to our HC family-I hope we can be an encouragement to you as you share His love through your blog. (I love the name, by the way!) Blessings!
