Random Sunday Fun!

Remember this post... Perhaps Amelia is more like me than I originally thought!

I caught Stella with no clothes on just sitting in front of the mirror which happened to be propped up against the wall in the dining room... ok, not really, but I thought the idea was a lovely little impromptu photo! Now I need to get Amelia's done too!

My sweet little girls! Love love love spending time with them today! And do you know who I super love? Alan! Yesterday, he watched the girls while I went out for 3 hours by myself! I shopped for fun Dominican trinkets to send to South Hills for their mission wall, bought some real cheap but super fun earrings, had a macadamia nut cappuccino... it was lovely! Today, he let me sleep for 2 hours while playing with the girls. I woke up to them crawling all over their papi and laughing at each other!

Here's the verse I am holding tightly to today "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

Happy Sunday

Be. Inspired. Celebrating Sophi and Raena

Meet sweet Sophi and Raena. They are identical twins and this picture of them with me and my sweet baby girls was taken on their birthday here in the Dominican Republic.

5 years ago S & R entered the world 2 & 1/2 months before their due date... amongst many complications they were born profoundly deaf. They underwent surgery and received cochlear implants and today both speak and sign. 

Since before they entered the world these little girls were fighters. survivors. They were destined to be inspire-ers :) & Jesus lovers! It constantly amazes me at their faith and how they live out their love for Christ and for others. In 5 years they have overcome more obstacles and celebrated more glorious victories than many adults I know. They truly are lovely little ladies that will melt your heart.

We have been praying for these girls- Just this week they made the transition from a special needs school to public school, which I was clued into just what a big deal this is. There is no doubt in my mind that these girls will conquer this with the same grace and love with which they conquer most things in their lives, which is in no small part due to their amazing parents, Jeff & Vicki Rogers.

Jeff, Vicki, Sophi and Raena- such a joy and an honor to do life with you guys. I am constantly amazed at how your family lives for Christ. I pray my little girls will one day have the faith and courage to live their lives so beautifully honoring Christ as your (not so little anymore) babies do!

Blessing to you today!!

** Each week I post a little something to inspire readers. Mostly, it is whatever has inspired me throughout the week! Hope you enjoy!!
