March Madness.
So we’re just coming through that time of year for all us basketball fans right? Born and raised in Kentucky and a graduate of the University of Kentucky myself, this time of year is always full of both excitement and disappointment as a fan of the game. However, this year, the term “March Madness” […]
Precious in His eyes
You matter. You belong. You are valuable. You are loved. You are wanted. How often do we want to hear those words? How often do we crave even the smallest encouragement that tells us we matter? I think everyone at some point can relate to that in some way, that wanting to be seen and […]
Resurrection At Work
Meet Adam. That’s not really his name, but for the sake of this blog and his privacy, it is today. I met Adam about 10 months ago when he first arrived at the children’s home Senderos de Amor. Adam was attempting to cross the U.S. – Mexico border for the 2nd time in his life […]
Grow.
“As a result, we are no longer to be children, … we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ” Ephesians 4:14-15 (NASB) Praise God, there’s a lot of growing going on around here! The children in our house and in the Weeks’ house just keep getting bigger. […]
Remain in God, our Source of life.
The school year just began for us, and many young people and children have moved from the Bordos, because of the danger that surrounds them. I cannot deny it, it is painful to see them leave because that child, or young man or adult represents a brother or a sister whom we have shared so […]
New Seasons Bring New Ideas
“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:13 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 “You are my friends if you do what I […]
God Uses Bad Things for Good Things
I know this has been said a lot lately by Sparrow staffers, but wow! We really had an amazing year! Chris and I were just thinking back on last January. We started last year with an empty house. Our home officially opened on January 1st, and we were so anxious for the little ones that […]
Working Together
It is amazing to think that we just completed our first full calendar year (2016) in operation at the Sparrow Children’s Home. It was nearly two years ago (January 31, 2015) that we spent our first night on site here in Santiago, and to see how God has grown and used this ministry over the […]
God’s Blueprint
God is great and He is doing amazing things. Not just here in Honduras but I know back in the good ol’ U.S.A. as well. It seems like this would be a great time for me to sum up and celebrate what great things have happened in 2016. But I’m not going to do that. […]
The Mother of all Mothers
Nope, this post is not about my momma. HOWEVER she is, to me, the best mother in the world. And this post is most definitely not about me and my inept ability to love surrendered and abandoned children in Honduras. This post is not about Kate and her 8, or Saint and North’s mom. This […]
