Our daughter is coming home!
We found out today that the judge in Taiwan has approved us and issued the final decree for our adoption. That means that we are traveling to Taipei in March.
Needless to say we are amazed. This has happened faster then anyone could imagine. Words cannot describe our excitement…so I won’t even try.

I’m sitting here reflecting on the grand opening of 12Stone Church. Today was truly an amazing day…
- Over 7000 people in attendance
- 1075 kids, birth to 5th grade
- Many untold stories of changed lives
One of my favorite stories was of a couple and arrived at our guest services desk. They asked, “what is this place?”. The attendant was surprised and ask what they meant. They again asked, “is this a church or something?” They got caught in the traffic on GA Hwy 20 and followed the crowd in. They actually stayed for the service and loved it! They said they will be back.

It’s hard to believe that in 4 days we have our Grand-ER opening. It’s exciting to think that thousand’s of lives will be impacted by our church. May God grant us favor in our community to see lives changed, marriages restored, and families reconnected.
This week has been a reminder that God is in complete control. Even though snow days in GA caused us to cancel our original Grand Opening…God has BIGGER things in store for us. We’ve prayed hard, worked hard, and now we wait in anticipation of God’s great work this weekend. What a ride!

this week it snowed TWICE! Crazy! Samuel and Wilson had a blast. They loved playing in the snow…so did I.
They made snow angels, went sledding, and had snowball fights with the neighborhood kids. it was a blast!
