Stephanie and I are going to blow up ballons and decorate the fifth wheel the night before when they are tucked in bed. We want our girls to know we appreciate their caring hearts and the sacrifice … [Read more...]

Our 3-year-old was talking to one of her friends on the phone this week: "Our plan is to sell our house, live in an RV, and help lots of people and all of the kids who don't have food." She said it so confidently, so excitedly. She said it with sparkling eyes, with adventure in her voice, with faith in her heart. Tim and I looked at each other, smiling, scared, "Are we really going to do … [Read more...]
