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".

Love this, it helps remind me of the reason we are on this journey!
Thank you, Dardi, that was just what I needed! If I wasn't already convinced, He would have done the job! I love how God works in our hearts without ever having heard someone speak on this!
I love this video!!!!
I wanted to thank you for commenting on Caresse and let you know that the comment worked fine. Yes, I have changed up things a little...hoping it makes it easier to keep up with friends.
Thanks again
I love this--it's so true!
