Reflecting on the incredible journey God has brought Tiffany and I on together. When we first got married 19 years ago, we had no idea the plans He had in store for us. We knew we wanted to start a family, but struggled with infertility for several years. It wasn't easy, we both struggled with feelings of longing, emptiness, and grief.. and the Lord knows I didn't make it easy for my wife as I battled depression and self-harm. But by God's grace, Tiff and I clung to each other and to our faith in Jesus. We knew that every life, from the moment of conception, has inherent dignity and worth. So even when our chances were slim, we kept praying and believing for a miracle.
God is Good all the time
And God answered in ways beyond what we could ask or imagine! After 10 years of trying, we were overjoyed to adopt our precious daughter Kairi. Tiff even got to be in the room the moment she came into the world! What a gift from above she has been to us. Then, amazingly, the Lord blessed us again 4 years later with our son Rylan. Two beautiful, healthy children - clear evidence of God's faithfulness when we felt all hope was lost. In March of 2025 We welcomed Micah James into the family.
Now, in this season, we are filled with gratitude that Tiffany is carrying our fourth little one, who we affectionately call "Gabey." The journey has not been easy and we definitely weren't expecting to be raising two toddlers well into our 40s... But we know the Author of Life is knitting this baby together in her womb and we trust fully in His perfect plan.
Through the valleys and the mountaintops, Tiffany has been my rock. Her unwavering faith, her sacrificial love for our family, and her inner strength inspire me daily. I couldn't imagine walking this road with anyone else by my side. Together, we are committed to raising our kids to know Jesus, to affirm the sanctity of every human life, and to love and serve others the way Christ loved us.
We don't know what the future holds, but we know the One who holds the future. As Joshua 24:15 says, "as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." That is the anthem and the aim of our family. We are so grateful for the story He is writing in us and through us!
