Are we ready?

In just a matter of days, the world as we knew it suddenly changed. The air we breathe became sweeter.  We try to act normal yet our minds race with questions.  When will this end?  Will all those I love make it through this? What about my job and future?   In the best-case scenario, 100,000 to 240,00 American's will lose their lives in the next 30 to 60 days.  Now, that truly is an overwhelming statistic that I can't begin to wrap my mind around.  Yet, that's the reality we face. Unfortunately, some of us may not make it through this.  So, with that thought in, we should ask ourselves the most important question of our lives.  Are we truly ready to meet Jesus and give account for how we how have lived?  

When you watch the video below, ask yourself a simple question.  Do I truly believe that I've repented (turn from) of my sins against God, asked Jesus into my life, and allowed him to be Lord of my life?  The answer to these questions absolutely can not be "I think sp" or "I hope so".

The question of where we'll spend eternity is at stake.

Adoption T-Shirts are now available

Adoption shirts: Below are the three shirts we are selling to help cover our travel costs to Africa. As most of you know, we have to take two 10 day trips to complete the adoption.  Each shirt is $20.  There are two options when ordering. In-state and hand delivered or the shipping option which includes a $3.00 fee.  You can use your paypal or account or send us a check.  Information is located on the right side. Why these designs: We have been CHOSEN by God, and through the sacrifice of Jesus, we have been ADOPTED into his family. We did not choose Emmanuel to join our family; God has chosen our family for Emmanuel. This process has been hard in so many ways, but NOW we can see the light and know our gift from God is months away. Thank you for joining us in this journey to bring Emmanuel home.   The deepest and strongest foundation of adoption is located not in the act of humans adopting humans, but in God adopting humans. And this act is n...

Happy Birthday Emmanuel - A father's letter

Image
Emmanuel's Birthday is December 3rd.  Happy Birthday E’man. What an amazing year! The last seven months have been an incredible roller- coaster ride and we are so thankful God has brought you into our lives. You have changed us forever! In fact, God is already using you to impact the nations. How cool is that? We wish we could all be together, but God has a unique plan that only he fully understands. I can’t send a physical gift, but I can write you a letter from my heart and hope will have the opportunity to read at some point. If not, I believe we see each other in heaven and worship together. Seven months ago, we decided to adopt. Several days later we saw you! You saw your big chocolate innocent eyes and very quickly knew you were the one. Yes, we looked at others, but there was just something about you that drew us to you. We excitedly started the process to bring you home to us as fast as possible. Needless to say, your picture is all around our house, wallets, key cha...
