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

Four About To Become Six!

In six short days, we will be on our way to Ethiopia to enlarge our family from four children to six. We are so excited and overwhelmed all at once! Prayerfully, sometime around Christmas we will get all six kids together for a picture.


Our packing is almost done. Our living room is packed with luggage! We still have so much to do this week!


In church this morning, our wonderful church family prayed over us for our trip and our new children. We are so blessed with the church family we have. What a journey God puts us on...we are having the time of our life!


Thank you for lifting us up in prayer!

Kurt and JoLynn
