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 […]

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 […]

Step of Faith

April 15, 2014

God has been doing some amazing things around here, y’all! A couple of weeks ago Josh spoke at our Wisconsin church’s missions luncheon; we passed around prayer cards and a sign up sheet for our email updates, talked about what we’re going to be doing, and got to meet many new people. We’ve really wanted […]

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 […]

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’ […]

Magic Rain

December 5, 2013

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 […]

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 […]
