Adieu, Subaru!

July 19, 2012

I have hesitated for days to post all that has transpired in our lives during the past few weeks. God was still in the middle of His outworking, and I wanted to see how all of the details would unfold! All the way back on July 3rd, as I was driving back from seeing the […]

Blood, Oil, and Teeth

January 30, 2012

What a month! We transitioned back into school mode from a month of family, festivities, laid-back mornings, and too many snacks. We had Student Training Program the 3 days before the start of the semester and then right into 2 hours of Philippians, and Payton had Oral Communications. Both he and I have already taken […]

Blessed and looking forward…to sleep

July 29, 2011

So, at the beginning of the summer, Payton and I began the search for a bed.

Because we just keep moving and moving some more, Payton looked at sleep […]

No use crying over spilled smoothie

Back in Colorado

May 26, 2011

We said our goodbyes to friends and family in Michigan on Friday of last week and have already been in the lovely state of Colorado for three and a half days. Our trip went well…for the most part anyway! We had a good drive to Missouri and spent the evening at NTM’s Missions Training Center […]

Time for a change of lenses

March 16, 2011

My weeks seem defined by the amount of homework. This week, for example, has 4 tests and 8 homework assignments. I realized that it’s become a habit as of late to see my week through the lens of homework. So, instead I tried to look at it through a lens which I wore a bit […]

Maher-shalal-hash-baz?

February 5, 2011

Maher-shalal-hash-baz? Well, it most certainly wasn’t voted as one of the top ten boy names this year, but in the 6th century BC, it was top of the charts, along with Shear-Jashub–and for girls names (about fifty years earlier), it was Gomer. Well, as you might have guessed, we’re smackdab in the middle of our […]
