Video From Shepard's Field

This one of my favorite video's from Shepard's Field! I love how it tells sort of the "whole story" of how it started and what they are doing now. And the clips of the kids are so precious! 

I love seeing what God is doing through Tim and Pam Baker for these amazing kids in China! I cannot wait to see what He does through them in the future! God has awesome plans for everyone of these children! 

I'm still hoping to visit this incredible place someday! 

(Look for Luke about at about minute: 5:30.)

I miss...

AFRICA!!

Of course, who wouldn't!

2012 To Do List

So, my friend, Hayley Catt, had a really great idea to create a To Do List for 2012. It's a list of things you hope to get done this year. I really liked the idea so I'm posting mine own here. 

In 2012 I hope to: 

1. Draw closer to my Creator than ever before.

2. Love others more. 

3. Make more time for crafts.

4. Read more books.

5. Spend less. Give more. 

6. Take a road trip. 

7. Meet (and love on) a child in another country.

8. Play more board games with my family.

9. Take more pictures. 

10. Get a new pair of TOMS.

11. More sister dates with my only sister. 

12. Serve others more.

13. Spend more time with my friends. 

14. At least one long walk on the beach. 

15. Watch more sunrises.

So, now it's your turn? What is your 2012 To Do List?

Luke's Christmas

Even though Luke doesn't have his own family this Christmas he is living in China with an amazing group of people. Luke is very fortunate to be at Shepherd's Field Children's Village where the family style homes create a loving and caring environment for their 80+ children. 


This week Shepherd's Field has been celebrating Christmas with the children. Fun! 

Smiling for the camera while decorating the houses for Christmas.

Cute smile Luke!

(Aren't they cute!?)

(He was recently moved to another house on the compound 

to make room for new babies with heart problems).

So excited to get a toy car!

(Showing off their presents, new stuffed puppies and cars!) 

I absolutely love seeing the joy on Luke's face this Christmas! I am so happy that he is able to experience that joy and be with his precious friends in a warm loving home! 

However he still needs a family of his own! What child doesn't deserve the priceless love of a mother and father and siblings? 

I'm prying that next Christmas Luke will have a family!

Will you join me in prayer for Luke? 

This wouldn't be possible without the support of the child sponsors! Please consider sponsoring a child (or more than one) this Christmas! What a blessing they will be in your life! Please go here to sponsor a beautiful child at Shepherd's Field in China. There are at least 50 children who still need sponsors!
