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

Our I171 IS HERE!!!

PRAISE GOD! We were told it would take up to 3 months after our fingerprints to get our I171 in the mail...the golden ticket from immigration that gives us permission to bring our children home! We had our fingerprints done two weeks ago and our I171 came today! Talk about angelic movement of paperwork!! We are SOOOO excited!! This will enable CWA to move our son to the Care Center and get his medicals done and when all our friends go to pick up their children before us, they can give him a squeeze from us and sometimes they can take gifts and pictures to him from us. Now, it's gonna get FUN!

Please now focus your prayers on our referral for our daughter. Pray that we are matched with her soon so that we can travel to get our kids at the same time. Also, we need a quick miracle of about $10,000 for our second child...not to mention travel! God is working. He will make the way.

THANK YOU for praying...we are finally seeing some movement in this process!!

Love you all,
Kurt and JoLynn
