New Blog Name and Design! :)

Acckkk... I was about to publish this last night and blogger stopped working on me!! That was just one of the bad things that happened yesterday... There were many! :(

So I know I said a month or two back that I might be changing the name of my blog within the next week or two.... ha!! Obviously that hasn't happened! But I finally did get around to changing it and giving it a sorta new design. So I'll make the official announcement!

The name of this blog has officially changed from Matthew 18:14 to
What it Means to Love!!

So why "What it Means to Love"?? This is the post where I posted about the day I had first heard it. I heard it for the first time at Lifest while listening to Meredith Andrews perform. She wrote it to a little boy in she met in Haiti who showed her the meaning of love. That's him in the video. :) It made me cry and listening to it, I knew I would change a thing if I was to rewrite it for Logan!



What it Means to Love - Meredith Andrews


How could I forget Your face
When all it took was just one day
For me to see it wasn't ordinary
I could never be the same

You took my hand and led the way
I didn't even know Your name
But something happened deep inside me
And I knew life would have to change

So how could I go back to life as usual
And how could I return to who I once was
I just want to take your story to the world
‘Cause you have shown me what it means to love

You healed the sick, You calmed the sea
But Your heart was for the least of these
You came to love the lost and broken
Your cross has set the captive free

So how could I go back to life as usual
And how could I return to who I once was
I just want to take your story to the world
‘Cause you have shown me what it means to love

Now I no longer live for myself
Your words are so clear
Help me live it loud enough so they can hear

So how could I go back to life as usual
And how could I return to who I once was
I just want to take your story to the world
‘Cause you have shown me what it means to love



I love you my baby! I've held you and played with you and now I am doing all I can so your mommy can get to you! You have changed my heart forever, and this blog would not exist with out you! You opened up my eyes to the plight of the orphan, and I am forever grateful! Love you more than you know!!!

------And though I have never met you Lyla, I've fallen in love with your picture. I will continue to post it until you appear on that wonderful page, the my family found me page. Until then, I'll keep praying and posting your picture!!------
