20 days and counting. Can you remember what it is like to have senioritis? You are still in school but not really, all your mind can think about is what the future holds outside of the walls of school. Well Andrea and I have been suffering from a mild case of senioritis as we face […]

“Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry, but those who trust in the LORD will lack no good thing,” Psalm 34:10 We can’t believe we are less than 4 months away from moving to Papua New Guinea. It is easy to dwell on what we are leaving, but we are trusting God that those who […]
