“Mom, I traded it fairly!” Caden said as he held his binder filled with trading cards close to his chest. “And it’s not fair that he is coming back saying he wants it back a month later!” Caden has a growing collection of trading cards, and is often found at the center of trading circles…

April update
John 11:35 – “Jesus wept.” It is the shortest verse in the Bible, yet one of the most profound. “Jesus wept.” These two simple words capture a powerful truth about the heart of our Savior.

Living a life of walking on faith is both terrifying and exhilarating. Mentally, I can tell myself “God brought us here, He’s not going to leave us.” But when we look at our freezer, or the gas gauge on our truck or upcoming events and the practical and financial aspects are uncertain or don’t seem…

July update
I have a sweater that says ‘Faith over fear’. It’s one of my favorites, despite being a cream color, and attracting dirt so easily, because of how comfortable it is. But even more than its comfort level i love the conversations that have come up because of it. I had a conversation with a couple…

June Update
God is so good. I don’t think I can ever say that enough. Every time we start to question “God did you really send us here?” He answers so clearly, through scriptures we are reading, through people we encounter, and through perfectly timed unexpected help.Our testimony is constantly “Look what God did…” because there’s no…
