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

My friend's adoption story

One of our many precious friends we have grown to adore are featured on CWA's website. Their story is amazing. Julie and her husband took the first care package to Joshua and took pictures of him for us. They just brought home two stunningly beautiful girls from Ethiopia...the youngest in the picture. Read their story on http://www.cwa.org/adoption_stories/snow.htm
