This past week and a half Andrea and I have been watching my siblings as my parents helped move my sister and nephew to Ontario. It has been fun but so very tiring. I know that God is calling me to love special needs orphans and I know that if I am obedient in this area that i will need his strength and patience everyday. I am so tempted to live the "typical" life but my heart just can't do it. I need to follow my God given desires and passions. I do not have it built in me to live an ordinary life.

So I guess I can know three things: I will never know boring., I will be stretched and life will ALWAYS be an adventure.

I do not know what the road ahead will be like. I think it will involve many children, loving the people on the fringe of society, driving a big ol' van and living in a house that knows much laughter and joy. I am excited to look back from enternity on my life and see how God has lead and blessed me.
