#18 - Madeline Kate

What can I say about this little blessing? Words can't express what she has brought to our lives. But not because Maddie is this perfect little angel. In fact, she is a little toot on more days than not.



But God has brought tremendous things to our lives through her mainly because of His activity in our lives that brought her about. As with all of our children, God used her as the means to grow our character and to increase our faith in Him. He used her to show us that radical joy comes from radical obedience. For that reason alone, her life is a highlight of these past twenty years.



What is exciting is that, while our first four kids had significant impact on the first twenty years of our lives, Maddie Kate will be impacting our lives for almost the next twenty. More kids...more joy. Yeah, the world thinks we are nuts, but I'm completely okay with that.
