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 Round Boy!

One of the families that we have been blessed to get to know traveled to Ethiopia last week. This family sent us finances as a 'pay it forward' and got to see our son at the Care Center when they picked up their two boys!

They emailed that he is adorable, solid, round, and cute! haha! That is so precious. How we long to get our hands on that round little boy!

Our dossier gets sent to the courier in Washington DC tomorrow and will be walked into the US Department of State and the Ethiopian Embassy and then overnighted to our agency who will then send it onto Ethiopia! It's very exciting and we are so excited to get all this crazy paperwork out of our hands!

Thank you for praying for Joshua in the Care Center. This is a hard time for the kids as they have been moved once again. Thank you for lifting up our finances in prayer also.

Many blessings,

Kurt and JoLynn
