So, you're wondering... "why the title 'WHEN YOU RISE UP'?" Well, I LOVE the passage in Deuteronomy 6:4-7 where Moses tells God's people the most important things they needed to know... "Hear O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you rise up." (emphasis mine) It's so simple... maybe not easy, but simple. We are to love God with all that we are, and we are to teach our children to love God with all they are. And how are we instructed to do this? Through good conversation! :) How awesome is that? Just through being with our kids, talking to them... using everyday circumstances to take opportunities to teach them about our great God! So, from the time I "rise up" in the morning... my task begins. My privilege.... my ministry... to obey God in what he's given me to do.

About Me
- Corrie
- I love hanging out with my family, being a mom, pursuing God, rainy days, reading, and all things full of sugar. God has given me a passion for marriage, parenting and adoption/orphan care, and I eagerly await seeing what he will do with our family in the future.

I am curious what you have left as I donated some items, but did not have a chance to come and shop due to an ill toddler at home! You may consider selling the remaining things on Etsy, but I would be interested in purchasing some of the "baby" items too, depending what is in the pics above that is left. My contact info is: Haley Dollins 612.239.9893 or haleydollins@gmail.com. So glad to hear the sale was a success!
Hi Haley! What did you donate, cards... jewelry?? I have a hard time keeping track of all the people that helped, b/c some I don't even know! I have sent an e-mail to you regarding the baby stuff. Let me know if you don't get it. ~Corrie
I did not receive the email... my email address is haleydollins@gmail.com
Thank you.
Haley- not sure why my e-mail didn't get through to you... sorry!I have passed on your contact info to the person who made most of the baby items. I returned the items that did not sell to her already. I know there is a pink crib quilt, the green/brown monkey crib quilt, several girl onesies with tutus, some bibs, and some booties. The knitted outfits were someone else's, and they both sold. She will contact you when she can, and you can ask her questions.
Thanks!
Corrie
