Glad You Are Here, Jonathan!

Clutting down a tree at Robert's house

It has been a blessing to have Jonathan here with us at HQ! Seeing him at work in the video department, enjoying lunch or dinner together, in staff training sessions on effective counseling, participating in bell choir, running to the library, playing soccer, praying together for the school project  and visiting Robert and Kendalyn and […]

Marilee’s Baby Shower!

Happy family of four!

October 12 was the Saturday when both sets of grandparents were in town and friends and neighbors gathered to so generously celebrate Marilee’s birth! It is exciting to look at Marilee’s little face and imagine the incredible plans and accomplishments the Lord has arranged for her in the years to come.

A Watered Garden

I love sitting out in the back yard by the garden. I turn the sprinkler on and watch the morning sunlight highlight the green leaves and sparkle in the drops of water. I don’t want to wither in our dry world like I see so many Christians withering. I want to be like a watered […]

Be a House of Prayer

A super exciting birthday party for a very dear friend. :)

The Lord has been giving me a deep desire to pray and commune with Him. One day I was praying but it didn’t feel like prayer. It didn’t feel deep and fulfilling. Later that very morning a friend shared what God had been teaching them about bringing God pleasure. It dawned on me that I […]

About 8:00 Kendalyn calls and says her friend, Caila is stranded at an airport overnight, would I pick her up? Grace hears my reply to Kendalyn on the phone: “Well, if it would […]

Love the Lord Testimony

Daniel juggling

I am so grateful that Dad has encouraged us to write testimonies about how the Lord is teaching us His commands. This week the command He challenged me with is to love Him above all else. (Matthew 21:21-22). "la, la, la, la, la" My alarm was going off again. I pushed snooze a couple times […]

Will the Tornadoes Smash my Tomatoes?

Our cute little garden out back with the tipi style trellis. :)

Not so far! Abby and I have enjoyed putting in a garden this spring! I am so grateful for brother David starting the tomato plants for me. They survived the car ride, transplanting, local animals, my pruning, and now we will see if they survive the storms. Thanks for all your tips Michael and David! […]
