We talked on the phone last night with our agency about what to expect from here to travel. Wow. We are getting close!
Breathe.
When we began this journey, I knew in the deepest part of myself that it would be God who brings these girls home, and that we would only be His hands […] Read more…
Petra’s Miracle
This is a story about God’s prevenient grace. It is the tale of one young lady’s experience in the theater in Aurora that fateful night. It is the story of how God prepared this precious young girl for the bullet that would hit her face 22 years later.

Hearts Overflowing

Moonlight
I shared in an earlier post some of the things we came to appreciate about living without electricity. One thing I failed to mention was the moon light.

Happy Birthday Sophia
Today our sweet Sophia Grace turned eight.
It seems like only yesterday that she was born.
Sophia is our sixth child and our second daughter. Our daughter Victoria was seven years old when Sophia was born, and we had prayed for a sister for VIctoria since she was a very little girl. We tease […] Read more…
Day Five Without Electricity
We are now on day five without electricity. Crews are constantly working to restore power to our community. Please pray for them. They are working under the HOT sun and around the clock. Many people have had their electricity restored, and many are still waiting.
Since we have not had Internet or cable since the storm, […] Read more…
