Well those of you who listen to contemporary Christian music will understand how cool these pictures are! We had the opportunity to meet Steven Curtis Chapman this past weekend. He is one of the best in Christian music ( my opinion & 5 grammy's+ 50 dove awards) but he has also adopted 3 children from China and has a huge heart for orphans! He started a ministry to help families financially who want to adopt and now his ministry is working to fund orphanages! It was after listening to his adoption story in 2004 that Todd and I first started to think about adopting. It just broke my heart to think of how many children are in this world that need homes! It has been a huge miracle to witness Megan becoming part of our family! One I am so thankful we didn't miss out on! God definitely used Steven Curtis Champman's story to open our hearts to the miracle of adoption! Last year we decided to donate to his ministry. This past Jan. we were emailed an opportunity to meet him during his winter tour. The concerts were not in our area though! Well, Todd ended up winning tickets to a concert series here in WI that was this past Sat. and he was headlining, so we emailed Shoahannah's Hope and asked if we could meet him! Never hurts to ask, right! Well his road manager called me the next day and set it up! Needless to say, I never expected a call ! It was a great experience! He was nice enough to talk to us for about 10 minutes and sign some things for us! It was a great concert too! The boys love his music and I think they were a little lost for words when they met him(a first for Nate and Ryan!). Megan was hot and totally wound up from having no nap but it was worth it!
