Thankful for my Kids

IMG_5103

Today I just want to write something profound but close to home.  In my continued attitude of gratefulness, I want to tell the world, I'm thankful for my kids.  From 15 years old down to six, These five fill my life with incredible adventure.

If you don't know about The KIVU Gap Year, it's a year long program for Highs School graduates to travel the world, work in different cultures, develop a network of friends around the globe, and most importantly; see a REAL worldview out of the classroom. In any event, Last night I had a chance to sit down with some of our exchange students who have been at KIVU in the summertime. Sami, Rasha, Reem, Luke and I were at the top of a restaurant overlooking Amman, having the conversation of a lifetime. We talked about Middle East politics among young professionals, we spoke of career paths for these three bright young people, and we ended with a deep question, "How is God moving in your life?" After sharing our spiritual growth, it...
