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

Pray for Document

There are families who are being scheduled for court dates that had their second medicals done after Joshua's. We have been frustrated by the delay and just heard from our case worker today that they are waiting on a document from his home town. We don't know the nature of the document, but please be in prayer for God to move paperwork on our behalf. He has done this for us several times in this process. We really need to get all this done so the court date can be scheduled and Joshua can become legally ours. He has waited long enough!

Thank you for praying! What an amazing journey this is. Very soon, Joshua will be landing in Kansas to be with his new family and friends!

Thank you for standing with us and with him. Can't wait for that court date to go through and be able to post all his precious pictures for you to see!!

Blessings,
Pastor Kurt and JoLynn Coleman
