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

Frustration

We are heart broken....Joshua's court date has been postponed to November 3rd and Julianna still has no court date. There are problems in the courts in Ethiopia.


Thank you for your prayers. Joshua has waited so long...extra long compared to other children. He, no doubt, needs just as much grace if not more than we do in this process. Please pray Julianna is given a court date quickly. Now we are just hoping to have them home by the end of the year. This is the most difficult process...we need prayer today.

Blessings,
JoLynn
