Local Training This Saturday!

on
My brain is a little bit on over load these days.
I'm preparing for a training for THIS SATURDAY where I will be one of 3 speakers.
Really is is such an opportunity to be able to share things that I've learned both professionally and personally, when it comes to parenting our sweet adopted jewels.

AND it is AWESOME to attend a church which shares God's heart, our heart, and passion for the least of these ... especially the orphan.  Our church is SO supportive of adoptive families, on soooo many different levels.  It is AWESOME.  Did I say that already =)  It is such a GIFT, I realize ... and I try not to even for a minute to take it for granted.  Our senior pastor is attending the Orphan Care Summit this year for the first time ever ... I'm stoked.  Although I do have to say that he already has a huge heart for orphans and for adoption.  It is hugely evident by the way he lives his life and leads our church.  It is AWEWSOME!

If you are local and want to attend the training, here is a link for it to registerv(and some more information as well).  If you register by April 18, you will be able to access childcare (how AWESOME).
