This has been a truly remarkable year! We are in the process of adding a new addition to our family. Her name is Brice Andrerese, aka “BeBe”.

This journey began last May when Ashley and I took a mission trip to Haiti to work in an orphanage. Adoption was something that has always been on our hearts. We knew we would adopt someday, but we didn’t know that it was going to happen like this. We went into this mission trip expecting great things to happen, but we never guessed we would end up falling in love with one of the Kids.

Been learning in the last month that God loves me unconditionally. 
not the futuristic super-spiritual version of me that I think God and everyone wants to see. 
No. 
He loves me. 
Now. 
Unconditionally. 
and my behavior, good or bad, does not tip the scale on how much he loves me. EVER.

He might act scared but that’s just because you are angry and not because he knows what he did wrong.

It’s our first morning home from Haiti and ashley and I are laying in bed having a hard time getting up and adjusting back to life in the US. It’s 9:53a.m and we’ve been laying here for some hours already crying.

Visions of the last 10 days loom deep in our souls. 
I keep staring at the door. Like I don’t want to walk through it. I don’t want life to start again. I don’t want the morning to begin. I wish I could freeze time, rewind and then pause.

I went on this tour with a vision to see God change the world through everyday ordinary people...which God is doing. [almost a quarter of a million will be raised in a year] 

But something else has happened that i didn’t expect.

I’m changing...

and I realized it a few shows ago in California when Tenth Avenue was singing...
