Bryan's Heart

Friends,
We are home.  We had a uneventful trip which is great when you are traveling with 6 children:)  I will try to post pictures as soon as I can!!
Today, Bryan wrote a letter to our church that touched my heart.  I would love to share it with you.  Here are the words of His soul:

My Dear Friends,

What a ride! Two weeks ago today we got a phone call that our baby girl was born in Arizona. Last night she slept in her home in Ohio. I cannot express how much God has moved and orchestrated events according to His will and wisdom. I am a take charge person and God had me set back, buckle in and enjoy the ride.

The range of emotions were unlike anything Gretchen and I have experienced in over 20 years of marriage and ministry. The instant love and gratitude that I feel for our birth mom is nearly indescribable. She has profoundly touched my heart, reshaped the way I will minister to people and shattered my understanding of sacrifice. She is a part of my soul and I have the honor of raising the precious life she choose to save, my baby girl Myla!

Oh how precious is the Lord's directives. His understanding is beyond our limitations. He will stretch you in ways that will end in glory, His glory. And when you are apart of experiencing His glory, you are forever changed. I want to be changed. I want to live different. I want to live as someone who is a child of Heaven and not a settler of earth.

Join me in this journey of full surrender. Pray that your heart will be open to the precepts of God and His leading of your path. He has a trail marked out for you that is as original as a thumb print and a star in the sky. Lean into His chest and feel His heart beating. He has a glorious vision that will exceed your own. Trust Him!

Bryan
