Privileged to Serve Family …

April 30, 2023

As Jared and I looked at the month of April, we saw that the Lord was giving us an opportunity to serve our family. Heather was entering the “home stretch” in earning her Master’s degree in Educational Leadership and there was a need for help in caring for the kiddos. Would we come? Absolutely! The […]

Pursuing Love …

February 16, 2023

A devotional book that has been so encouraging to me over the past few years is, Blessings, by Laura Story. The “nuggets” that God has allowed me to glean are priceless! Check out the two nuggets that have spoken to my heart in these days, in this season! Nugget #1 – “God’s love is a […]

In His Might …

January 28, 2023

Semester Kickoffs with staff and students—pizza party—are now a thing of the past but the message of Ephesians 6 has stuck with me. Our new school director, Andrew Royer, shared about being strong “in His might”. He talked about the sword of the Spirit—the Word – and having a prayer life that is real. In […]

Not Created to be Enough …

October 12, 2022

I recently read a book that was recommended to me by a student. The book, Behind the Veils of Yemen, was written by a missionary wife and mother who ministered in Yemen for a time. It’s an easy read and quite enlightening! There were several things that stood out to me in this book but […]

Rejoice And Be Glad …

February 26, 2022

Psalm 118:24 says, “This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.” I was reminded of this verse recently during the three weeks that I helped critique speeches for our Public Speaking class. I saw the nervousness of the students making those speeches and saw the facial expression […]

January Jinx …

January 26, 2022

Do you have some months of the year that you like more than others or don’t like? I do! January seems to be the one month that always brings me (Diana) “germs”. If I’m going to be sick, it will be in the month of January. But, this year, the “germs” seemed to hit me […]

Bless the Lord, oh my soul …

October 31, 2021

Our souls have been busy praising Jesus! He has blessed us in ways that we never saw coming! He allowed us to pull together a quick visit to NE this month. We were humbled to see Holly and her family and to be able to love on those NE grandbabies. They are getting so big! […]

Calendar Overload …

September 28, 2021

As we began this month of September, we thought we had it altogether. Our calendar looked manageable … it was set … but then “things” started happening … and the calendar was full! There were a lot of activities and events, rearranging of work schedules and being hospitable to new families. We even had the […]

I Still Choose You!

June 22, 2021

Jared and I always look forward to summer but in recent years our views of summer are so different. You see, we are looking at summer through different lenses. Jared sees his summer as having projects to do around the school and what it takes to get it all accomplished by a certain due date, […]

Wondering Again …

January 23, 2021

Thought I would share a short, revised excerpt from our January newsletter this month. ‘As I began to think about writing this month (January), I was mindful of what I wrote last year at this time. I wondered what this new year, 2020, would bring and if my hands would be open to accept what […]
