About Me
- Dardi
- I am blessed to be married to the love of my life, Joe, who also happens to be my best friend. Together, we co-founded Hope 4 The Wounded Educational Seminars in which Joe provides training on working with wounded children. I am the mother of nine...five conceived in my belly, four conceived in my heart. We have journeyed to our "heart children" by way of foster care, Ethiopia, US domestic, & China. I am seeking His will every day in this walk of faith that is my life. I hope 4 the wounded of this world...especially the children, but also you & me. It's an imperfect world, I'm an imperfect person, but I'm on this journey that God has blessed me with, so if you'd like to join me, I'd be honored to call you "friend".

Praying for peace in your hearts and rest for your anxious minds as you long to hold what your heart loves.
((((HUGS)))
Oh no, I am so very sorry. That must feel so heartbreaking. Hang in there, friend, the Father has NOT forgotten. He'll come through for you--I promise.
Sending you a HUGE hug.
Sorry friend! Hang in there!!!
Aww...I guess I prayed too late ;)
I just commented on yesterday's post. But, you are correct....God knows the plans he has for us!!
Continued prayers,
Christie
Sorry you did not get the news you wanted....
I will start praying now that all goes well on March 24th!!!!
Just can't wait to see those pictures!!!!
I am so sorry!! You seem to be taking not passing court WAY better than I did. I was pretty hysterical. Although, that could have been because when we did not pass we hit the court closure and so we waited two months for a new date. Hugs to you.
