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

A Surprise from God!

God is the best Daddy anyone could ask for. He is a master 'gifter' and delights in unexpected miracles and gifts. It's all part of His pursuit of His children. The great chase that leads right to our hearts.

One of those amazing kisses from heaven arrived recently for us. Unexpectedly, we got an email that said something like this. "Our request to combine the files of Joshua and Julianna into one court date has been granted by the court...both children's court date will be November 3rd" Wow! What a surprise! Only God could have orchestrated such a miracle. We are beyond thrilled!!

Please pray on the evening of November 2nd as court will be in session in the middle of the night. We will hear of the results on November 3rd. If both kids pass court, we should travel in early December...home for Christmas!!! Wouldn't that be amazing?? What a gift to our family! Please pray for the judge and the Ministry of Women Affairs...for favor and success in court for Joshua and Julianna.

God is so many things wrapped into one amazing Creator...embrace His Fatherly love today. He is the perfect Daddy!
