Meet my friends, Kjersti and Erich and their kids, Eric, Luke, Asia, and Jake. What a family! Seriously…an amazing family! From the first moment (which was a couple of years ago) I met Kjersti I knew they had 4 children, although at the time they only had 2. Let me explain…Kjersti and Erich have known for years that they would be adopting Luke and Eric, two little boys who lived in an orphanage in Haiti. For a while the timeline was daunting, thinking that it would be years before the boys would be able to join their family. God, via the earthquake, sped that timeline up substantially. A little less than a year ago, Kjersti traveled to Haiti (you really need to hear her story) to retrieve her boys, and their family has been a part of our church family ever since. The journey has not at all been what they expected, but what we have all gotten out of it is that GOD IS FAITHFUL! His ways are MUCH higher than our ways…knowing this makes life a lot easier, especially when we realize that His plans can be MUCH different than our plans. I am so thankful to be in fellowship with this family…I cannot begin to tell you how God has challenged me and grown me simply by observing them and their complete abandon to themselves in order to pursue His plan. Thank-you, Kjersti and Erich…I really, REALLY appreciate your hearts as you truly live kingdom-minded lives…thank-you!!!!!!! I hope you enjoy your pictures!!!
Great pictures Erin! LOVE the one of the kids in front and Kjersti and Erich in the background…to cute!
