All Aboard and Off We Go!

December 14, 2015

2 1/2 years ago, we moved out of our little red house in the woods, bought a van, named it Noah, packed it full, and drove from Nine Mile Falls, WA, to Roach, MO, with a 18-month-old Judah in the backseat and a watermelon-sized Elias in the womb. And now we’re packing up all our […]

December 11, 2015

I’m glad that every day isn’t like the days in the picture above – getting a flat tire in the middle of nowhere (literally hours from the closest electric pole or running water down a very bad road); having the car you’re in start on fire; having to wade through the water up to your […]

Reflections on 2015

December 8, 2015

“Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his mercy endures forever.” Psalms 136:1 God is good all the time and His blessings are abundant! Rejoice with us as we reflect back on 2015. January began with Melanie’s foot starting to improve after some days of very intense pain from the pressure […]

The Mystery

December 7, 2015

One of the parables Jesus used to describe His kingdom work here on earth is the mysterious growth of a seed after it is planted. 26 Jesus also said, “The Kingdom of God is like a farmer who scatters seed on the ground. 27 Night and day, while he’s asleep or awake, the seed sprouts and grows, […]
