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

Glimpse Into What God Has Done

Wanted to take a break from rewinding and bring you up to the present. This is what God has done in the lives of our children. This is their referral pictures in Ethiopia and a picture of them now. What an amazing God!
