After an exhausting week it was really nice to just chill with my wife and kids. Today we met our daughter, Emily's, birth mom for lunch. She is serving in the Army and is currently home from Afghanistan. It was good to see her and to see that she is really moving forward with her life. We feel so blessed to have Emily in our lives. She is such a precious little girl with a zeal for life. I am so eager to see what God is going to do in and through her life. Our prayer for both Max and Emily continues to be that they will grow up to embrace their adoption story as God's story. We pray that they would one day see that their birth parents made a very selfless decision and that God had answered our prayers by placing them with us. Of course there could be no greater prayer for their lives than for each of them to grow up and love and serve Christ with all their heart, mind and soul.
We closed the evening by taking them to Moe's. I think our kids put more food on the floor than in their mouths; it was quite funny. A few months ago I wrote a post about snap shot moments. Tonight was one of those moments. A snap shot moment is a moment when you just need to step back and recognize how blessed of God you are and how good He has been to you. Tonight in a messy booth I was enjoying yet another snap s
hot moment.
Now it's off to bed. Our Naples Campus Pastor, Jay "the iron man" Richardson and I will be up at 3:30am and on our way to Fort DeSoto...tomorrow I compete in my first ever duathlon. Should be fun, but truth be told I'm a little nervous. Enjoy those snap shot moments and if you remember pray for me tomorrow...I'll need it. God Bless You!
hot moment.

Praying for you!
Love the concept of the snap shot moments. Just to step back and say,wow, thank you God. Thinking about it now, I think of one incident at VBS that was a snap shot moment, that among the craziness, I saw the light 'click' for the kids.
