7 Quick Takes: Getting back to real life after Pope Francis in Philly!

Last updated on: October 9, 2015 at 1:00 pm By Leticia Adams

1. It has taken me over a week of being home for me to start to feel ready to do anything. It’s not just that I’m tired, but I also have so much to process from a cross country road trip to see the Pope and for some reason, the only way that I have been able to process it is by being with my family. Usually writing a huge way for me to figure things out in my life... Read more

The Truth Reigns

Last updated on: October 6, 2015 at 1:48 pm By Leticia Adams

Defending my faith is something that comes pretty easy to me, I am a fighter, and it comes natural to me. The problem for me is that I fight the way that St. Peter fought in the garden when the soldiers came to arrest Jesus and he cut off the ear of one of them. What did Jesus do? He healed the guy, then rebuked Peter. I almost know for certain how Peter must have felt at that moment, because... Read more

3,400 Miles Closer to God

Last updated on: October 1, 2015 at 10:12 am By Leticia Adams

I drove through 13 states for 3,400 miles which totaled 5 days on the road to see Pope Francis. I missed most of the speeches because I was on the road and I saw him for the whole 60 seconds that he passed by me. I didn’t even mention the 20 miles that we walked or the hours of standing on our feet or the fact that the last hotel charged my card twice and sucked out all the last... Read more

7 QT: Pilgramiging it to see Papa!

Last updated on: September 25, 2015 at 6:25 am By Leticia Adams

1. It’s very hard to sleep without my husband. I offered it up for all widows and any wives who have to do that. I can’t imagine. 2. Flea read Pope Francis’ address to congress while we were driving. Can you say Mic DROP?! Go Papa. 3. I had an interesting talk with God after we almost died in Nashville because I had a panic attack in the middle of the highway. And I’m pretty sure He has asked me... Read more

God Will Do Anything

Last updated on: September 23, 2015 at 1:38 pm By Leticia Adams

It’s been a very long time since I have felt on fire for my faith. I love Jesus and I know He is real and that He is my savior. I know it in the same way that I can’t put into words. God is very good to me. Every day, He does something to show me that He loves me. However, life has been hard. Very hard. I feel like I’m living in a perpetual obstacle course and I’m... Read more

I GOT MY CAR!!!!** this is really happening! I rented my car from Avis a week ago or so and they already charged my card so I thought it was all good. When I went to pick up my car this morning they said that I needed $100 deposit: ok fine, that takes money out of our food budget but ok. Then the guy said that since I have a debit card, they have to check my credit which is... Read more

Grace is Overflowing: Mission "Go See My Papa" is Happening!

Last updated on: September 16, 2015 at 3:39 pm By Leticia Adams

I don’t even know how to type this post up without bawling like a baby. I am so overwhelmed with the amount of messages, emails and donations that have come my way since I first posted about going to see Pope Francis in Philadelphia. Not only that, but the prayers have surely been the reason for such abundance of grace being poured out on me and my family. Almost every prayer that I asked for has been answered. I should...

Fourteen Years

14 years. Wow. 14 years ago I was married to Ben 8 months pregnant with my last child and on my way to work at Hooters when the first plane hit. Ben and I were fighting about getting the kids ready and Regis and Kelley were on in the background.
