LISA: ON BIRTH MOMS + FARMHOUSES + GIVING DREAMS TO GOD

Lisa Robertson is a biological and foster mom. This week she talks real about building the dream foster house, changing plans, building relationships with biological family, and celebrating the beauty and brokenness of adoption.

The intro song, The Source, is brought to you by one of the greatest worship bands out there, The Evidence. Yes, the frontman is my (talented, brilliant, adorable, Jesus-loving) cousin. No, that's not why I love them.

Mess Into a Message is Lisa's blog. Her words are always chockfull of goodness, but her post "Headed Up the Hill" BLEW ME AWAY a few weeks ago. Read it now, then follow her to keep up with her blog.

Trim Healthy Mama is the diet that Lisa ascribes to (not very well, so it seems). Nutella and beer is the one that I ascribe to. You can pick up the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook, or you can head to your local store and pick up a six pack of Sixpoint Resin, the greatest of all the beers. You choose.

• Shout out to Wendy's for making cheap food that my family can eat when I'm tired and doing awesome things for kids in foster care. Pro tip: Every January you can pick up your annual $2 frosty tag. You get a free mini Frosty as often as your little heart so desires FOR A WHOLE YEAR, and every cent goes to finding homes for kids in foster care. Win-win.

• Adopted for Life  by Russell Moore (Probably the best book to gain a great theological foundation for adoption.)

Rend Collective (The cool kids of the worship scene. Hipster music, gospel lyrics. Good News is their newest album and on par with all the goodness they've released before.)
