i became an uncle again - twice - in the last week! my sister jacki, with husband matt, had a new baby girl named carly... and then mark & gina had a new baby boy here in guatemala - named cruz.
too far away to have been there to see carly, i have enjoyed IMMENSELY all the photos of my new baby niece. she is precious. cruz, on the other hand, i was able to see, hold, and kiss on, just hours after he entered the world.
trying not to get all cliche here... but i am still just amazed at the process of child birth. how life starts, how it grows, and how it develops. how the heart matures and becomes capable of choices, emotions, and free will. its an incredible design that can only point to one amazing creator.
as i praise God for carly and cruz, i pray for them to grow into radical jesus lovers and followers. i pray for their parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, and uncles & aunts who lead and influence them. i pray that they will realize they only have 1 purpose in this life - to glorify God and make him known in all they do. everything else is empty without this central purpose!
God, mold these 2 precious babies into sold out followers of you!!!

Oh Brock... Carly will never doubt her Uncle Brock's love, that's for sure. :) Hope you get to meet her in person one day soon! And I'm looking forward to this summer when Carly and Cruz get to have their first playdate :)
