About Our Family (Introduction)
Ashley and I have been married for 12 years. We met at a college ministry called Cornerstone Christian Fellowship at Illinois State in Normal, IL where we only dated 4 months before we were engaged. Looking back we both shared stories how we knew the very first weekend we dated that we were going to marry each other!
We decided to stay in Normal, IL to stay involved in Cornerstone mentoring the college kids we had invested in thru out college. We thought we would live in central IL forever. We had our first child there (Caiden) after a couple years of marriage. Shortly after Caiden was born, my dad offered me an opportunity to work with him selling direct mail so we decided to move up north to Geneva.
Almost 10 years later (this October) we have lived in Geneva. We've had 3 more biological children (Kylar, Elijah and Tinley). God has grown both of us a ton since moving here. Ashley and the Holy Spirit have nurtured a heart for giving (both financially and thru our home) in me. Once close fisted with money, time and possessions I now see all of it as Gods and am truly excited when opportunities come up to give.
Ashley's heart for others has leaked into my life and the past 3 years we've welcomed over 12 kids and 2 single moms into our home for periods of 24 hours to 51 weeks. God has spoken to each of us separately but also together as we've prayed over this and we're excited to see what child or children he brings to us next!
Thanks for joining us on this journey!
