How much more can God stand?!

How much more can God stand?!

October 27, 2020

My pastor dropped some heavy truth on Sunday. I thought maybe those of you that read my meanderings would appreciate some thoughts from the words spoken. We’ve been in 1st John for a while now, going methodically through the verses.  It has been VERY good, and as a Historical Literal Grammatical student of the Word […]

Is Missions On Hold?

Is Missions On Hold?

April 15, 2020

Is Missions On Hold? We might feel like it, but Jesus said “I will build my church.”

Are we speaking to the void or to a person?

Are we speaking to the void or to a person?

January 30, 2020

One of the most valuable things we can do when it comes to building community, whether it’s to support missionaries or to rally around a common purpose, is to communicate. Obviously, right?! I think it’s important to state it again though. We live in an era where “speaking to the void” is easy. Social media […]

He is risen. What’s next?

He is risen. What’s next?

April 17, 2017

We remembered and entered into the suffering and sacrifice, then we sweetly celebrated His resurrection. But what's next? Is it just a joyful moment to relish in like so many other holidays? Or should we keep our eyes on what Jesus did next too?

A New Kind of Strange

A New Kind of Strange

January 12, 2016

Living in a new culture and climate is all about adjustment, flexing and bending with the current. There’s the life-changing adjustments that happen every once in a long while, but mostly life is made up of subtle, minuscule changes over time. It’s fun to look back and see what has become normal after 9 months. For […]

October 14, 2015

This has been another week of learning for us in the Land of the Unexpected. Bugs are a normal part of daily life. Suppose you leave something out overnight; ants. Put your fruit in a bowl so it looks pretty and is easy to get; ants. Forget to bring in your laundry before the moona […]

A Kettle in Singapore

A Kettle in Singapore

October 13, 2015

Just over a week ago we experienced was a flurry of travel, although I wish it had been a real Michigan snow flurry after we encountered the sweat-inducing temperatures of Singapore. Several weeks ago God began our journey toward Singapore. Finn had an infection, a UTI to be precise. It involved lots of tests. Since then I’ve […]

when drain plugs make you cry

when drain plugs make you cry

September 10, 2015

I have always tried to write about the easy and the hard things about being a missionary, instead of shying away and showing only the Instagram-worthy moments of my life. Without a doubt, the hardest part about being a foreign missionary is leaving loved ones behind. But there is something that I didn’t know would […]

Whatsa dasawisma? Part I

Whatsa dasawisma? Part I

September 9, 2015

It took me the better part of 4 months to actually hear the word(s) “dasa wisma.” The fact that it is also shortened to “da’wis,” didn’t help. But seeing as how the word had definitley floated around in countless neighbourhood conversations, I can’t believe it never even registered at all (more on this later)! This got […]

Weighing In

Weighing In

August 22, 2015

So, I’m not going to write a birth story since I’d rather not revisit the insanity of it all. I’ll just say that it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and I wish that my water hadn’t broken early. I definitely got a taste of the curse. Only by the grace of God and […]
