Sometimes I forget

October 12, 2015

Have you ever been working towards something really important, but in the middle of working so hard you get so caught up in the task at hand that you forget what it is you are actually working towards??? That was me today. For the past 10 months we have been working hard in this phase […]

An Update on Gideon

October 2, 2015

Thursday morning came really early for us! Gideon needed to be up to UVA at 6:00 am which meant that we needed to leave our new home in Moneta, VA at 3:30 am. Needless to say, we didn’t have a lot of sleep the night before. We checked Gideon in and waited anxiously for his […]

What we thought would be just a walk…

September 17, 2015

It was a beautiful evening! I had just been away all weekend so I was excited to come home, get unpacked, and spend some time with the family. We decided to take a walk and do a little exploring around the farm we live on. There was a crispness in the air…the kind you feel […]

Global Retreats – God is at work!

September 17, 2015

For the past 2 semesters I have had the BLESSING of being a part of Global Retreats (formerly known as Next Steps) at Liberty University.

Things you may be wondering but never asked…

September 3, 2015

I got to thinking the other day that there may be a few questions that you have had but never asked. So this post is for you! Out of all of the mission organizations out there, why New Tribes? There are three things that really drew us to New Tribes Mission (NTM). First is their […]

Sacrifice: Everybody’s Doing It

August 13, 2015

People have always told me (Jamie) that they appreciate how real I am. I am pretty quick to share my fears and failures. I figure, hey, if I feel it or think it, I might as well share it with someone. On top of that, I tend to veer on the side being a half-empty […]

When PD Stinks

August 10, 2015

We are currently in Hampton, VA right now doing a few weeks of Partnership Development. I feel that God is truly blessing our time here, however, I think I would venture to say that this has been our hardest trip yet! So far we have broken a glass and a toilet at Chandler’s grandparents home, […]

Our Brave Little Man (part 2) and Our Great Big God

July 31, 2015

From the Beginning Back at the end of April Gideon had his first appointment at UVA Children’s Hospital. You can read more about his first visit here. At that visit we found out that Gideon would need to have his right kidney removed as well as a procedure done on his bladder to ensure that […]

Psalm 126:3

July 22, 2015

“The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.” -Psalm 126:3 As I was driving into town this morning to do some partnership development (PD) work I was reflecting on God’s goodness to our family. He has been SO faithful to us and cares so sweetly for our needs. Can […]

Back Home!

July 18, 2015

Well our trip in Florida ended really well! One thing we asked for prayer about was that God would fill our days…and HE DID! He is SO good like that! Throughout our time we were able to meet and have lunch with two pastors (one lunch also included some people from their missions committee) from […]
