post office: check!

May 1, 2015

Thursday night I picked Josh up at the airport – the first time he’s been home since the 15th of April – and Friday morning we hit the ground running once more. Our job is never finished, it seems. The next step in our process right now is collecting and filing the paperwork for our […]

aviation adventures

April 28, 2015

the missionary aviation tent that we (and 7 other mission organizations!) called home for the week by Josh Verdonck What a whirlwind week it’s been! I mentioned in my last post that April has been a busy, busy month for us… and that was only halfway through the month! Since then there’s been an airshow, […]

the year of constant catch up

April 16, 2015

Dry Falls I’m declaring 2015 as the Year of Constant Catch Up. Time is consistently getting away from me. Just this Sunday, we had a partnership informational meeting in the afternoon… the couple we stayed with pointed out that they didn’t know April 12th was their church’s nursing home day, and so there probably wouldn’t […]

driving + journaling

March 11, 2015

This year seems to be slipping away from me. It’s already the second week of March! As usual with this stage of life we’re in, we’ve been doing a lot of traveling and visiting with people. This weekend we drove to and from Orlando, then to Jacksonville one day, and then from Jacksonville to St. […]

seeds of life

March 4, 2015

Part of our “job” right now is to visit churches. Make connections. Talk to people. We’ve visited a lot of churches lately, which means we’ve sat under the teaching of a lot of different people. We’ve heard a lot of different styles of worship. We’ve witnessed how different churches really are. Recently, we visited a […]

checking in

February 27, 2015

It’s been quiet around here. Too quiet. It’s just been hard to be creative at all. It feels like Josh and I are in a holding pattern of sorts. We can’t do this until we do that. But we can’t do that until this comes from that person in this place, with those things. How’d’ya […]

no expectations

February 7, 2015

Two weeks ago, amidst funeral planning and helping my mom, Josh said something that challenged and encouraged me: “Just remember, there are no expectations for you to feel or act a certain way.” He didn’t know it, but I was struggling with what I should be feeling and how I should act. Yes, my grandmother […]

six paragraphs

January 27, 2015

Life is going by at a phenomenal pace right now. The days are beginning to blur together and it feels like I’m stuck in a cycle of working hard, but also doing nothing. It’s kind of bizarre. A lot of our “job” right now is waiting… waiting for paperwork to come in, waiting for appointments […]

kitchen florist

January 20, 2015

It’s hard to believe that January is already half gone. Didn’t we just celebrate Christmas? While I absolutely adore the rush of the holidays and two rounds of company, I admit that I am glad to have the house to ourselves now. This is the first week since we arrived in Florida that we’ve had […]

decemblur

December 30, 2014

The entire month of December has gone by in such a delicious blur of food, fellowship, family, friendship, and traveling. Between packing up + cleaning our Arizona house, driving 4 days across the country to get to Florida, soaking up our family and friends for the first time in a year, celebrating Christmas, and welcoming […]
