Steps In A Journey: June 2009
http://stepsinajourney.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Steps In A Journey. We are all on a journey. I pray that each day brings me one step closer to my Lord and Savior. May each journey we are on just bring us to the next step and one step closer! Thanks for stopping by and I pray you will be blessed today. The different shovels we need in our life. Sometimes we need a snow shovel cause things get wet and heavy. Sometimes we need a bucket to bail out. Sometimes we need a shovel to dig deep. And sometimes we just need a cup. Sunday, June 21, 2009.

The Rowenhorst Family: December 2011
http://rowenhorstfamilyadoption.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 14, 2011. Part 2 - Questions Answered! As promised, I wanted to follow-up our first post by answering some questions that have come up as we've shared our news. That is probably the most popular question we have received, and there is a short and long answer to it. The short answer is - this is the country we felt led to adopt from! So why did we choose Ethiopia - well here are some facts on Ethiopia:. There are 5 MILLION. Orphans in Ethiopia alone! Of people have access to safe drink...

A Life That is Changed. Thursday, October 1, 2009. Science, Math, DOL, and piano lessons - oh, and cleaning his room - are things that I am confident that Cole could live without. Aside from the piano, the school work comes a little bit harder for him. I guess he's more creative than philosophical! That conversation with him last week has continued to rattle around in my brain this week.convicting me. Do I give my best in everything I do? And then I asked him another question I've been thinking about.

A Life That is Changed. Thursday, April 30, 2009. Some Trees and an Easter Lily. Eight years ago we planted a tree in our yard in the spring; an Autumn Purple White Ash. It was six feet tall when we planted it. Oh, how we took care of that tree. We put a protective "barrier" around the bottom, we tied ropes to it in different directions to keep it pointing straight to the sky. This spring, I expect the tree to be over 20 feet tall with a full set of leaves. But if you just use my words in Bible studies a...

A Life That is Changed. Wednesday, June 3, 2009. Yesterday I attended the funeral of a 55-year old man who died from cancer. He and his wife, along with three of their four children, attend the same church as I do. I didn't know him as well as I know some of his kids but I knew enough about him to know that his life was not without struggles and hard times. Romans 14:11 says "It is written: " 'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.' ". Or is...

A Life That is Changed. Tuesday, March 24, 2009. Tijuana Time - The Trilogy. We stayed at a humble home for the duration of our stay in Tijuana; right next door to the orphanage that about 45 beautiful children call home. When I "signed up" to go to Tijuana, I knew that we would be spending time at the orphanage and, in my mind, I had lots of ideas of what is was going to be like. My perceptions could not have been more wrong. Through my "Tijuana Trilogy" I wanted to share with you where I saw the Light ...

A Life That is Changed. Friday, August 21, 2009. If The Shoe Fits. Last weekend I had the opportunity to serve at a spiritual retreat; it's a 3 day short course in Christian living. A saturation, if you will, of God's love and grace. I've been involved in this since 2004, but the past few times, something has been different for me. I haven't been coming home with that same sense of excitement that I usually feel, despite the great things that I witness and hear. The other incredible thing that blows me a...

A Life That is Changed: November 2008
http://ihavebeenchanged.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
A Life That is Changed. Tuesday, November 25, 2008. A challenge was issued by a friend of mine for 10 people to make a list of ten blessings or ten thanksgivings; I know of a couple of people who have accepted the challenge and now I am accepting it to. I'm thankful for (in no particular order.). It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High." Psalm 108:1. Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him." Proverbs 17:6. 4 Friends and Family. We have been blessed by ...
