Today instead of a post I…
…made pancakes for breakfast
…plowed through some church camp planning
…played Polly Pockets with my favorite 4 year old
…attempted to give wise counsel to my kids
…had lunch and visited with 4 of my sisters
…assisted with wedding favors for my sis who is getting married in ONE week
…enjoyed reading a blog-friend’s take on my book
…am planning to make bulgogi (Korean BBQ’d beef) for dinner. Recipe soon– if it turns out good, anyway!
Here’s hoping you had a good day too!!
Mary, you really know how to pack it all in.
I’m always impressed.
It sounds like a rich, fulfilling day! You are making wise investments.

I’m smiling… a day very well spent….

I’ve been so encouraged by your stories of God’s provision and the commitment you have to loving your children. I shared your site with some friends who are raising money for their own adoption:

I found this site and thought you might enjoy the Korean recipes on it: http://www.maangchi.com/recipes Also, my mom told me that if you have particularly tough beef (for bulgogi), add some kiwi-fruit (juice or mashed fruit) to the beef just before cooking to tenderize the beef. Happy Korean cooking!
Mary I found your site after getting my hands on a preview copy of Family Feasting. You’re so inspiring. I’ve been doing a study of the Proverbs 31 woman at Revive Our Hearts and you offer so many positive and practical ways to pursue God’s glory through building a home. It can be so overwhelming. As I started to read I found myself teary eyed because I’d been asking God for help with my weaknesses and there you were, addressing one of my big ones in a way I could manage. It’s barely been a whole week and I’m already stunned at how many things I’ve been able to implement. Sorry to post this on a random blog post of yours, but I wanted to tell you thanks and how excited I am about what you’re doing! — Mary (another one)
