Today is our oldest daughter's birthday. She is now 18, and has lived with us since she was 13. What a bumpy, winding, and adventurous road we have been down with her. I couldn't help but think as she was blowing out her candles today, where would she be if she had not come here? The outcome thus far, may not be quite up to our expectations morally, but she may have even become a mother had she not come to live with us. She has achieved a lot in her little life since she has lived here, and for that we are proud. She has held down jobs, school, extracuricular activities, and even managed save money for a car. Happy Birthday sweet girl and may God continue to change and transform your life!!
I am headed off to Women of Faith for a weekend of rest and learning. Pray for Jonathan here at home with everyone else.

About Me
- Mom of Eleven
- GA
- I am a mom of 12 children. (Currently 10 at home) They range in ages 3-21. I love being a mom, but I also love learning about women everywhere and how they learn and grow as moms also. My husband and I are houseparents with a private christian organization in which we have permanent custody of children and raise them as our children. I hope to be of help to other moms while also learning about how other moms make it out there. God is so good to us and has blessed us with a full, busy, wonderful life. To Him be all glory and praise for literally getting us through each and every day.

Have an awesome weekend. I can't wait to hear all about it!
Happy Birthday, sweet M. So glad she is where she is today. Her journey will be her story one day too. Just think of all the lives she can touch because a few people are giving her a chance.
