Ten Million Fireflies

We are excited to join the realm of blogging for the first time ever as the Kaye family (Kory, Brittany, and "Baby Kaye" in the oven). Kory suggested the idea of a family blog, and I immediately loved the idea. Hopefully with both Kory and myself posting we will be able to keep you all better updated on the goings on of our lives, what the Lord is teaching us, and the latest on Baby Kaye!

As for the title of our blog, "Resplendent Glimpses," we hope to give you glimpses into our lives as a family, and while doing so relay to you the "resplendent (brilliantly radiant, magnificent) glimpses" the Lord daily gives us of Himself, His grace, and His glory. We greatly long for the day that we will no longer be limited to mere glimpses, but we will finally see Him in all of His fullness, majesty, and glory!

The title of this particular post, "Ten Million Fireflies," is inspired by the lyrics of one of our new favorite songs right now, "Fireflies" by Owl City. The "group" is actually composed of only one individual, Adam Young, who is topping the charts on secular radio, but he is actually an apparent solid believer (which we found as a double bonus!). Anyway, this phrase was in the running for our actual blog title since we thought the song lyrics "ten thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs" was an appropriate depiction of how we feel regarding the support we constantly feel from you, our dear friends and family.

We nixed the idea due to slight cheesiness, but we still wanted to let you all know how much you mean to us. This blog is for you, our loved ones...our blessed "fireflies." We pray our posts will bless and encourage you, as well as keep us connected over the distance and time that separate us.
