About Us

Not too much to say (at least not yet)... no long list of credentials... just a story that's worth sharing. I'm Adam Vaughan. My wife, Kelly, will also be sharing. We have 6 children. Our two sons, Lincoln and Tucker, have gone to be with the Lord. The remaining four with us are Emmiline, Eloise, Elliott and Charli. Charli is a triplet. Her brothers Lincoln and Tucker are identical twins. They're dancing with Jesus right now, and they're not sad about it at all!

everyday tools...

The tools of learning...
Have had a sharp blade in my story...
Trimming away excess...
Revealing the innermost parts.

Most days...
Are challenge-filled for this old brain...
Lots of stumbling still occurs...
As I walk onward in this journey of "becoming."

The call to be a learner...
It's risky...
Costly...
Humbling.
Believe it or not...
It's something I have had to learn how to do.

For a year and a half now...
Thanksgiving...
Has been an underlying theme in our family...
Choosing joy...
A tool that has been...
Shaping and forming...
Allowing...
Me...
Our smalls...
And those we encounter...
To see Papa's heart...
Not just on holidays...
But Everyday...
Everywhere!

Oh how He longs...
To release His big love in our growing hands...
If only we would trust...
In The Perfect Love...
If only we would allow The One that casts out ALL fear...
To lead us back...
To the carving board of thankfulness.
Yielding our shape...
To the power of His tools.

It's there we truly see...
The beauty of His heart...
Revealed...
On the inside of the fruit...
Thankful for The God...
That uses everyday tools...
Like being thankful...
To speak to everyday girls...
Just like me.
