Full Heart Florida

Full Heart Florida

Hello from Florida! My heart is deliciously full and my cup really is running over (Psalm 23). We had a long, but thankfully uneventful trip. Although we managed to skirt the edge of the storm, we still drove through almost every kind of precipitation imaginable: snow, rain, sleet, freezing rain, slush, and that nasty salty/dirty/snowy/slush […]

Out of My Element

Out of My Element

Y’all! I am so out of my element up here. It is VERY COLD (like into the negatives… ugh), there is snow and snow salt everywhere, I can’t take a step without sliding, and usually have more than one pair of mittens on at a time. I used to laugh when people said that peoples’ […]

Happy December, and Merry Christmas!! We’re officially down to the last week of classes, and I think everyone is struggling a little bit to stay focused and finish strong. The freshman class (aka, us) has almost no homework for the rest of the semester, which is almost bad considering that it feels like Christmas break […]

Have you ever heard one of those stories where someone forgot their anniversary? Of course you have, because I’ve heard a bunch of them (and I may or may not have forgotten my own first anniversary… ahem). Well, this isn’t about that. I mean, okay, it kind of is, but not really. You get me? […]

The Big Picture; My Seeing God

Isn’t it so easy to sit down and wallow in the negative things that inevitably happen in our lives? We can easily get caught up in the little things that aren’t “right,” but all that does is drag us down. From way down there in the “depths of despair,” it can be difficult to see […]

Well, the first week of classes is over, and the second week begins. This week has been filled with so much information, it would take many blog posts to cover it all. Some of it has been simply how things work here, what is expected, who you need to talk to, where you need to […]

One Week

One Week

It’s been one whole week since we arose before the sun, packed the last of our earthly belongings into our car, loaded the car onto a transport, and hit the open road on our next big adventure. By God’s grace, there were no tears that morning, just heartache. I admit, I actually enjoyed the drive. […]

It’s Beautiful to Feel

It’s Beautiful to Feel

Have you ever been so full of love that you feel like your heart my actually burst if you just add one more drop? Well, I have. I feel like that now. I felt like that yesterday. And I’ll probably keep feeling like for a little time yet. All week long, we’ve been purposefully spending […]

Josh has been representing NTMA at the AirVenture show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin since Sunday. He’s been sharing his testimony, talking about airplanes almost nonstop, meeting new people, and getting people excited about the work that NTM does through aviation. It’s exhausting, but I’m pretty sure he’s having a good time. While Josh has been away, […]
