Transitions

April 25, 2014

It’s been a busy time for us, even though last week was spring break. After Josh quit working we have been able to meet with several people and just get to know them. It’s amazing how much you really miss something until you suddenly have it again. We’re entering into that period of transition that […]

Knee-Deep in God’s Grace

January 27, 2014

This has been a challenging couple of weeks since we got back up here. While we were in Florida, it was easy to forget my worries and just go with the sunshiney flow of life; but everything came back to me when we returned to Waukesha. At first I dealt with it by not dealing […]

Count & Re-Count Blessings

January 12, 2014

I hope you all had a delightful Christmas season and a very Happy New Year! Josh and I spent our Christmas break in Florida with family and loved ones, and both of us feel like it was the most restful Christmas we’ve had for a long time. Of course there is more that we wish […]

Full Heart Florida

December 18, 2013

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

December 10, 2013

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’ […]

One

October 29, 2013

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? […]

Life-Changing Video

September 4, 2013

Howdy! Don’t judge… No one says that up here, so I have to get my fix in somehow.It’s the little things, guys. We’ve been keeping busy, as you would expect from a couple of students. This weekend we cranked out three papers a piece, a week and a half of reading, and a whole book. […]

Joti Stories

August 26, 2013

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

August 17, 2013

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

August 7, 2013

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 […]
