Anyway--you guys are truly an inspiration to what Grace and Faith look like when lived out in all circumstances. Thanks for sharing your Momentous Moments with us! God Bless, Tamara in MN<BR/>P.S. My bro-in-law did 2 summer internships with Campus Crusade for Christ in New Zealand...so it's fun to read about your family's ministry there, knowing that you guys are sharing Christ's love in a place that is dear to my brother-in-law's heart!Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02241013562135330848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029247928009946691.post-72857249722586871612008-07-11T12:25:00.000-04:002008-07-11T12:25:00.000-04:00You have such an inspiring story!

I love the pictures, especially the one on the beach pregnant with Joshua, and the one of you in the park on leaving him. Oh yeah, and that "look" on Matts face, I have one of those guys here that I have been married to for almost 40 years. The look just keeps getting better with time too!!<BR/>And Oceana is just perfect and too cute. You did good here!!
