Florida Fun

June 29, 2015

A week and a half ago our family set out on a trip that I like to call “the unknown”…oh wait…that seems to be everyday of our lives on this journey God has us on! But really, we set out for Florida. I know, you are probably thinking, “are you nuts?!? Florida in the middle of […]

Learn From Me

June 3, 2015

One theme in my life lately has been LEARNING from the Lord. I was telling Chandler this morning that I feel that my life has changed so much since we began this journey of pursuing missions. God has allowed so many circumstances to come our way in the past 2 years that He has used […]

He restores my soul!

May 16, 2015

As most of you know, these past few weeks have been challenging as we have been searching and praying for permanent housing during this phase of partnership development. Please keep praying with us about this. There are a few parsonages in the area that we are waiting to hear from right now. If either of […]

When Things Don’t Go As Planned

May 10, 2015

It’s rather comical (since you can’t see me right now I will tell you there is a hint of sarcasm in my tone) when we have certain expectations of something and those expectations get stomped on and shattered. Back when we were living in Missouri attending the Missionary Training I had dreams about what partnership […]

Our Brave Little Man

April 28, 2015

This past Monday Gideon had an appointment at the Children’s Hospital at the University of Virginia (UVA). Let me back up a little bit…when we moved back to Virginia in January I had an ultrasound at around 35 weeks. During the ultrasound we found two somewhat alarming things. The first was that we were having […]

So What’s Happening in NC?

April 17, 2015

So, I, Jamie, am sitting in a coffee shop…childless…yes, you heard that correctly…childless!!! This is the first time, unless you count a quick trip to Walmart, that I have had a few hours alone since little Gideon arrived. It is nice to sip on a hot cup of Joe and get a few things done….and […]

Celebrating Selah

April 4, 2015

Last Friday was our sweet Selah’s 3rd birthday! Where has the time gone??? I know those of you reading with teenagers or grown children are asking the same thing, maybe even wondering why I am asking that question after just 3 short years. Time really does have it’s way of zooming right along, often without […]

The Marathon

April 4, 2015

Parenting is a lot like a marathon. Seriously. Not that I’ve ever run in one myself, but I have talked with several people who have. It takes dedication, hard work, strength, and endurance. Sometimes you cry. Sometimes you wonder how in the world you are ever going to make it. But then there are those […]

On the road again!

March 23, 2015

So far, our journey of Partnership Development (building up a strong team of both prayer partners and monthly financial supporters) has been WAY different than we ever imagined it would be – and we are only 3 months in! First of all, we never thought that we would be getting ready to pack up our belongings […]

God Knows Exactly What We Need

March 16, 2015

I remember clearly the day we came to meet the Ratliff’s. In my mind it seemed like a terrible first meeting. Basically, just picture two bulls running through a gift shop . While Chandler talked to Mitch and Betty about who we are and the ministry God has called our family to, I tried to wrangle in the little bulls. […]
