The Journey of a Family Striving to Live Dangerously Surrendered!


"Surrendering means that we have come to the end of our independence from him, our reliance on self-sufficiency, and our insistence that we don’t need him. Surrender to God changes everything! Why add the word dangerous to surrender? Because we don’t surrender to a benevolent but impotent grandfatherly figure; we surrender to Almighty God —the Creator and Sustainer of the universe. C. S. Lewis’s character Aslan in the Chronicles of Narnia depicts God as a magnificent lion —good, but certainly not safe. Surrendering your life to God is the boldest and riskiest step you can take. Being dangerously surrendered to God allows you to know him in increasingly deeper ways and to participate fully in his will. " ~Kay Warren

Abba Fund

  • We were contacted by the Abba Fund last night. They informed us that all of their funds are spoken for, but that they would keep us on file. They are making a profile of our family for The Legacy Fund, a fund that profiles families in the adoption process and families who have lost children to death donate towards the adoption as a memorial to their lost children. We are continuing to need prayer for these grants to come through.
  • We will be getting our shots next week and need prayer for our children and for us. The yellow fever can sometimes make you sick. Thank you for praying for these slightly uncomfortable parts of this process! :)

Thank you, our precious prayer partners! What would we do without you!

Love,

Pastor Kurt and JoLynn
