Why Life Within The Ark? ...2 by 2

As we look back on our past 21 years together in marriage, its easy to see how Christ added us 2 by 2. First it was Stacy and I. We met in college (she really stalked me...just kidding). It was something different I saw in her that truly attracted me to her. Our first talk together was us sharing our testimonies along the intracoastal waterway looking over to Palm Beach. I knew then God had revealed to me something very special.

Fast forward to 2000. After many years of desiring children adoption became an option. So we took the steps towards an international adoption through Russia that led us to our two blessings (by 2) Ridge and Garrett. What a joy unlike anything else I have ever experienced.

Fast Forward to 2010. What a blessing these past ten years have been. Lost socks, Lego's, camouflage clothing and little boy noises abound. The boys are growing way to fast. Where did the onesies and little shoes go? I cannot complain God has been good to us. For that I am very thankful. Through all this, however I realize my heart still has a desire for a little girl. I kept quiet about this until Stacy shared her desire and longing also...and the boys cheered. So off we go taking the steps again towards adoption for not just one but two little girls (by 2). This is where the Ark theme comes in. I may not be Noah, but desire that my family (and future family) live fully for Him in all we do.

So we ask you to pray for us as we take these steps...these steps about our family and the process we encounter along the way.
