Eric and I celebrated 21 years of marriage last Thursday. The kids felt bad for us at first because they said we were at missionary candidate school for our 19th and 20th anniversaries, and this year we couldn’t do anything because we don’t feel comfortable leaving the kids here. BUT we had a plan! EricContinue reading “Be Found Faithful”

A Life Lived With Purpose
Life here is so completely full. Every part of my day, every interaction, whether in my home or outside, feels like it has purpose. Inside my home, I purpose to be present and available. Sometimes this means just listening when my kids need to talk – or cry…even if I’m so exhausted that I canContinue reading “A Life Lived With Purpose”
Grand Central Station
Finding a moment to jot down my thoughts has been almost impossible lately. We are the grand central station of this area for sure!
🌸Happy Mother’s Day!🌸
🌸Happy Mother’s Day!🌸 I was only able to get a picture with the girls because Sammy is sick today. Soon I will take a picture with my boys. They were all feeling bad that they couldn’t get me anything for Mother’s Day. There are no stores nearby…but I already have everything I want. For fiveContinue reading “🌸Happy Mother’s Day!🌸”

“A lot of people told me, ‘You’re going to miss out on SO much!’ But I don’t feel like we’re missing out on anything!” Anna sat beside me on the front porch and shared this with me.

From the Mouths of Babes
Internet is frequently poor, which is why I can’t always post weekly. I usually type out what I’m going to say ahead of time and then when I get it to work, quickly copy and paste. If I still have internet, I can reply to some comments and messages. I have noticed at times thatContinue reading “From the Mouths of Babes”

Just Doing the Same Things
April 4, 2023 “Practical missionary life is an unexciting thing. It is not sparkling all over with incident. It is very prosaic at times.” ~Amy Carmichael I’m currently reading through Amy Carmichael books and I always seem to find a quote stating my recent thoughts, though she puts it much more eloquently. The routine, schedule…everythingContinue reading “Just Doing the Same Things”
