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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

October 21, 2014

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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. […]

Postponed

February 18, 2013

That’s the word they used when they called us, and broke our hearts. After our {encouraging} interview at the NTM home-office a couple weeks ago, we received a phone call telling us that the Associate Board had decided we would benefit from another year of training; and so our fast-track to PNG at the end […]
