Why This Blog???

We have found ourselves in such a struggle these past nearly two years. We have found our family walking through a journey that we never anticipated. We have had a blog before that basically told sweet stories about our three beautiful children Jacob, Jude and Grace, but we have come to realize that there is so much more going on in our lives. There is Jesus. He has walked us through our struggles on a train ride of faith that has blown us out of the water. So, we knew that if we were truly going to tell stories from our life, they must include Him...God...the One who has redeemed our lives and holds us in the palm of His hand. Anything less would simply not be an accurate account of who we are and where we are and where our hope lies. In the Old Testament there are three references to "pruning hooks". It is the only place you find the word "hooks" in the Bible. In two of the passages it is used when talking about turning weapons for evil into useful daily tools. This struck such a chord with me as I looked at how much our life has been transformed over the past few years, and how two people who lived in darkness could be turned into useful, daily tools for The Kingdom of God. What a miracle has occurred in our home and we want to share that with you...along with some sweet stories and cute pictures of our three beautiful children. We simply could no longer share our life on a blog without sharing our faith. We hope that our stories encourage others and bring glory to God.
