A couple of weeks ago, one of the ladies here at the center, invited me to her house for an afternoon of bread-making. Growing up in the American culture, I never learned how to make bread. My mom used her breadmaker on special occasions, but it was never something that either of us really learned […]

my husband

November 24, 2014

I don’t often brag about my husband, but in this case, I’m going to. If you like airplanes and training details, read on. If you don’t like hearing a proud wife talk about her husband’s cool airplane job, then you should probably stop reading. :-) We’ve arrived at the end of our training in Arizona! […]

weekend aviation expo

October 31, 2014

Last week I shared the heaviness that has been hanging around and weighing so many people down. Since then, there have been a couple surgeries, and many more prayers for Jon and Adie. The Lord has met me and so many others in those heavy places, right where we were, and held us close, reminding […]

It has been a heavy week around here, and really around the globe. Our world has been rocked and our hearts are hurting. As one of the executives here at the office said, “I’m ready to take that step of faith into the Jordan and follow Jesus; but I can’t find the Jordan!” Early last […]

Airplanes + Animals

September 24, 2014

It has been a busy week around the center! I definitely did not think I would have this much to do around here. It will peter off a bit after this week, but there’s still plenty of excitement around here. There are several projects that I’m working on with some of the staff here, and […]

The Adventure Continues

August 11, 2014

I wrote that status in the wee hours of the morning one year ago today as we drove out of my hometown with our moving truck. That was the start of our adventure. It still rings just as true today as it did then. There is plenty of unknown in our future, and I’ve learned […]

A Belgian Wedding

June 2, 2014

This weekend we saw the joining of two hearts and lives into a new family. Josh’s brother, Sam is now married to the sweet Hilleen! I thought I knew what to expect, I mean… it’s a wedding, right? However, this was a Belgian wedding, and boy do they know how to throw a party! Here’s […]

9 Things

May 25, 2014

Hello from Belgium!! It has been a whirlwind couple of days with plenty of jet lag, but it has been so good and I am so thankful that we were able to come. 1. We flew out of Chicago after saying a heartbreaking “till next time” (because I don’t say goodbye) to our dear friends, […]

Yes and No

May 14, 2014

School is officially done, and our one year at New Tribes Bible School has now come to an end. Like the rest of this life we’ve chosen, it’s a little bittersweet — so excited to move on, yet sad to leave the people we love. The suitcases have been dusted off, boxes packed, and our […]

Airplanes and Associates

May 10, 2014

Things are winding down at the school; we have only 1 class day, 1 test day, 2 work days, and then it’s all over. As usual, I have mixed feelings about it all. We’ve developed a few very close relationships with other students and staff here, and have seen many blessings since coming here. It’s […]
