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

Second Medicals!

We received Joshua's second medicals today via email. We will take these to our doctor and see if there are any concerns. With my limited knowledge of the medical world, I didn't see anything to be concerned about, so we are moving forward!! So exciting! We will be sending our original, months in the making dossier to Washington DC to a courier on Tuesday. She will walk it into the Secretary of State's office and then to the Ethiopian Embassy. It will then be sent to our agency and onto Ethiopia! Then, it's hurry up and wait! We have been so in the 'doing' phase for eight long months. Now, we sit back and wait. We actually have a lot of doing to do around here to prepare for the kids to come home, so I will focus on that.

Thank you for your prayers. Things are moving along quickly at this point. Please continue to lift up our financial needs before the Lord for this final phase.

Many blessings!
Kurt and JoLynn
