"My happiest moment was having my daughter. That was the happiest moment for me because I was told I couldn't have kids. I kept trying and it just wasn't working. But it was because of things I had asked God to protect me from, watching other children of my age at the time getting pregnant. I used  to pray to God that he wouldn't let me get pregnant until I was married. It took me getting married and my wedding night is the night I got pregnant with her. Her spirit changed my life. I can be at one of my darkest moments, and take it out on her. She will just go in her room, come out, and act as if I did nothing wrong. She has this abundant joy within her heart that when I'm down she is the only one able to wipe it all away."

He said, 'Cool you're gonna pray for me real quick.' I was still scared so I wasn't sure where to put my arm. I didn't want to be awkward or get shot. I just laid my hand casually on his shoulder and started to pray. I was kinda at a loss for wor

"Two and a half years ago, while living in mainland China, my wife and I were fostering a little orphan named, Guo Ru Hao... with the hope to one day adopt her.  It had been two long years with her living with us and we were at a standstill on many fronts.  Her orphanage wouldn't release necessary paperwork for us to adopt her and we didn't know why.  The device in Ruthi's head to help her cerebrospinal fluid flow was malfunctioning.  There was another fire in a foster home in China and the government was requiring all orphanages to call in the kids (meaning Ruthi was in danger of being taken away from us).  I was at the end of my rope.  One day, while driving down the road, I asked Ruthi what her name was.  Her Chinese name, Guo Ru Hao, was the name she heard most often as we had to use that name on all paperwork.  So she was accustomed to hearing that name...and saying it.  However, on this day, when I asked her what her name was, she proclaimed, "Ruth El
