I am Arabah.
It is the dead He raises to life, the barren and dry He pours out upon, the weak and wounded He lifts up,
It is the Arabah that becomes the showcase of His glory (Isaiah 35:1-2),
In addition to being Arabah, I am wife to Loving Husband, mom to 4 ~both biological and adopted~, missionary, nature lover and Jesus freak

Arabah 
hello, Arabah what a lovely name . what does your name mean? i couldn’t find it in scripture. i’m carol mama to 10 all mine two married other 8 live here with me . i’m a blessed woman. only my husband of 30 years left us four years ago. he never recieved God’s love or mine and our babies . im grateful for Like a warm cup of coffee, she sent me to your blog. ( i don’t know her ) i don’t have much time to be online and i don’t type so it takes me long . anyway idecided to visit and fell in love with your writing. the stuff you wrote about adoption and rejection sounds like my husband . he has live according to a lot fo lies a perfers to feel sorry for himself and others take pity on him . he left all our love and our five boys 33, 27 , 25 ,22 , 15, and our girls 32 , 30 , 24 , 20 , 18 to live in a shelter with bed bugs and eat scraps .
Your blog and words are beautiful. You have encouraged me to be a more Christ centered mama. Blessings!
Your writing is very deep and thought provoking. Many of us can relate to your thoughts, but most of us can not express them in words. You have a gift.
I am very moved by your heart dealing with your adopted child. One day she will know the gift you are to her. What a difference you are already making in her. May God bless you and give you the wisdom you need for the day. I am always interested in the adoption experiences as I would be open to inviting another precious one in. (we have 3 of our own).My husband is not so sure of the process, so I don’t push – waiting on God to complete His plan if it is meant to be.
Thanks for writing and sharing, may you be covered in His blessings today.
