sexual intimacy
31. Pet Peeves:
The expectation of “Abolishing Abortion” this side of heaven and the label therein
Excitement re: others fostering. Thinking we are like minded, then finding out that others fostering does not mean we are like minded.
Taking pictures/video/watching life thru a lens rather than just fully experiencing it in the moment with your own senses
Entertaining vs. fellowship in your home
Telling me to go adopt someone’s kid
People spilling/announcing other peoples news on FB. Before they have.
Those who think/say adoption is for those who ‘can’t have kids’ (and that phrase as well)
When my asking someone a question for clarification = them changing their mind/plans
32. What bible studies did you do/participate in?
Celebrate Jesus by Mainstay Ministries
Ruth/Esther/1 & 2 Thess
The Love Dare
The Lords Table
Reading Romans 1-8 for 50 days and then John 15 for 31 days
33. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
Take me away till I that I love is you, is you Lord ~ Sarah Kelly
