Art. To Create. Sometimes I will be sitting in my classes in the morning, and I begin to think about creating something. A new meal. A batch of muffins. A decoration for the house. A new “tool” to help organize our crazy life. A new page for Ezekiel’s scrapbook. A new entry on my blog. […]
Thanksgiving is: My favorite day of the year. This year I am overwhelmed. Not that in prior years I did not have reason to be overwhelmed; most certainly I did. Maybe it’s just that this year I’ve taken time to be overwhelmed. Yesterday morning as Zeke was fast asleep in the next room, I sat […]
This is not one cookie. This is about 5 or 6 pounds of dough…. Only a short 50 days until graduation, and our senior class of 23 students is raising money for our class project, helping provide some New Tribes missionaries with literacy materials to teach the Gospel to those who do not yet […]

Fresh, homemade apple crisp made from apples we hand-picked at the orchard, along with a soy latte? Yes please 🙂 This transition into motherhood is resulting in a vast change in perspective. Not just my perspective on how much time an adequate shower requires, or my perspective on a “good night’s sleep”, but my […]
Gray and I are being severely challenged in regards to service. As a result, we are so very, very excited about our impending graduations this December, and the time we will have to invest in ministry, or rather, in other’s lives. We can’t deny that we have been busy. Raising our first child , both […]
A blog post! Has life returned to a somewhat normal routine? Routine would hardly be my word of choice. Life with this little guy: is anything but routine; anything but mundane; anything but dull! He keeps us on our toes. One of my new favorite things to do is watch Ezekiel discover. What it […]
“Our Father strips everything away from time to time to give us the opportunity of loving and trusting and responding to Him just because He is our Father. He knows what the cross is going to mean in our lives; He knows the death march that lies ahead of us in order that there may […]

Where is my oven mit? I hate moving…. Laying in bed last night, I told Grayson that I “really don’t like large doses of change”. He just laughed. I suppose it is a bit ironic, with us preparing to move to Europe and all. This transition has proven to be a much bigger turning point […]
My heart is eager to progress in our path to ministry overseas. Sometimes being here can be exhausting, only because my heart is so furiously fighting to be elsewhere. I must at times reign it in. I know, although our time of preparation has extended itself beyond our initial expectations, that this is God’s hand […]
Raising kids stirs something deep in our souls — an innate knowing that our time is finite.
