For I know the plans I have for you...

I must be honest here. Levi and I are very passionate about living overseas. We love it. We are complete, fulfilled, and fill as if we have a purpose here. Every day we are reminded why we are in India and we are thankful for the gift of living and being here. But as we were preparing for Wyatt to enter the world, we battled with the Lord over raising him away from Mississippi. We LOVE our homes and we Love our families and friends and just can't imagine Wyatt growing up away from all that. We wanted him to have strong roots and were not excited at all that the Lord may call Wyatt away from that one day. We saw Wyatt being a "strong warrior" on the battlefield with us, and then going back to MS one day to make a difference. This is so crazy but the day he was born was the day that the fight was over. The moment I held him and looked at his perfect face, was the moment that I realized that God has already formed him, given him a purpose, planned a path for him to follow. The choice was never mine and it never would be. We would be obedient to the Lord and the Lord would lead Wyatt Taylor Lance where He wants Wyatt to go. We prayed that God would take this precious life that he created and use it only for His glory, for His purpose, for His praise. What an amazing way to learn a lesson from the Lord.
