What Now?

This is the question we confronted while traveling through Ethiopia, in the process of bringing our little girl home.

The words of a Steven Curtis Chapman song came to mind entitled “What Now” and it seemed to encapsulate our trip and the incredible opportunities to make a difference that we were seeing before our very eyes.

We can’t say it better than his words do.

I saw the face of Jesus / in a little orphan girl,
She was standing in the corner / on the other side of the world.
And I heard the voice of Jesus / gently whisper to my heart,
‘didn’t you say you wanted to find me? / Well, here I am, here you are.’
So what now? / What will you do, now that you found me?
What now? / What will you do with this treasure you found?
I know I may not look like what you expected,
but if you remember / this is right where I said I would be…
You found me / what now?

So the “What Now” video that I told you I was working on is finally here. And we also finished this year’s version of “Christmas cards” – our 2009 Letter – as well. Hope you enjoy it!

UPDATE: I should note that the photos in the video are all taken by Cacey and me, with the exception of the three amazing ones taken by Mandy Morello, who was there in the middle of the night at Sacramento International Airport!
