God brought into my life and allowed me to marry Kris. He used Kris to teach me and correct me and bless me. I remember sitting in the Living Room five years ago and giving Kris back to the Lord the night before she went in to receive her Pacemaker. Her mother was there. Her sister was there. Our four children were there. We were confident about how God was going to answer our prayers, and how He was going to fulfill the calling He had placed on her life.
This last week, we gathered around Kris again. And this time it was to celebrate. She turned 39 again last week. Her mother was there. Her sister was there. All of our seven children were there. It wasn't anything fancy... Kris doesn't do fancy... but it was special nonetheless. And the coolest thing is... God is still fulfilling His calling on Kris's life, and we are still the beneficiaries of that calling.
I don't know how you do it, Kris. You were meant to be a mom. Of all the people I get to meet, you are by far, the one that is living the life God created you to live. You are a wonderful mom and a great gift to our children! And I thank God for you...

Brent, both you & Kris are living out a great calling on your lives. I am proud to be related to you.
I was touched to read about Kris's medical issue, and what it meant to you. It was a day to celebrate (her 39th), and even if she doesn't do "fancy", I think she is beautiful! Keep being a good example for all of us!

What an incredibly touching post! I'm not sure how I stumbled across your blog, but your family is an inspiration on so many levels. Thank you for sharing your story.
What a wonderful testimony to your wife Brent. Happy Birthday Kris! May you be 39 again...over and over and over. :)
