Once upon a time...

Once upon a time there was boy, a very talented, adorable boy, whose songs could make any girls heart melt.  This boy chose a girl, a strong-willed, gonna be a doctor girl, a girl who didn't have time for anything but her books and notebooks and the library and the practice room.  This boy sang to this girl until her heart melted and she said, "yes, I'll hang out with you in the practice room."  And soon, "yes, I will share my life with you."

After a year and a half of sharing life together in a cardboard box size apartment they were given another life to share with, a beautiful baby girl, a strong-willed, I rule this house, bald, brown-eyed girl.  And a new journey began, the doctor girl decided to become a  stay-at-home and love my daughter girl and the musician boy became the pastor boy, his passion for music became a passion for people and their hearts.  Soon the house was filled once more with an amazing baby boy, a snuggly, chubby, brown-eyed busy boy.  And in an extraordinary turn of events this happy family with was blessed with one more treasure, a boy, a small, sweet, train loving, car-toting boy.  This was heaven, a comfortable size family, a comfortable job and a comfortable home.

But the comfort was fleeting.  The creator of this pastor boy and stay-at-home girl had created them for something more.  He had put a passion in them that would not stop at comfort.  He kept whispering in their ear, "I love you, but there is a whole world that I love.  I love your community, but there is also a whole world that I love. And I want you to open your home to love others."

This boy and this girl said "yes" to their great benevolent creator.  They said yes, we will open our home and our hearts and so another chapter in this story begins.  This family will be bringing home more children to fill their home.
