feet to love

right now, my baby is crying. he has one desire: milk. and soon he'll stop crying, cause he'll get some. he has no idea that the communities around him are crying for much different reasons. this has hit close to home for so many of us. so much destruction. so much displacement. so much uncertainty. so much unbelief. and we are crying with those who have lost homes, pets, and irreplaceable memories.

and through this all we know that God is sovereign over all things. He is ruling as we speak. His vision is bigger than ours. His power conquered sin and death and His grace flows moment by moment. He is active in restoring souls for eternity, and lifting heads for the present. He is beautiful when smoke fills our eyes, or when we can see islands on a clear day. He is the hope-giving, light at the end of every disaster. He never lets his people go, and He is the only giver of infinite gladness, an eternity of joy.

i pray that God would give me and courtney and isaiah and all of us, a heart for those suffering. and hands to lift rubble. and eyes to see need. and arms to hug people. and lips to encourage. and feet to love.

hospital days

most isaiah info will be posted on our website, but i'll put a few more posts up.



unreal.
he is beautiful.
God didn't need to make him healthy, but He chose to. our baby did not deserve to be healthy and beautiful. he is already sinful. but God's grace is amazing. already, he is a picture of the grace of God.
i pray that Isaiah would know the saving grace of God intimately at an early age. that he would learn to seek after the face of God and desire to worship Him in everything he does, at an early age

thanks doug and cindy for coming up to see him.


the coming weeks are going to be exciting.
i can't wait
