This is US!

 So we did a thing. We starred in our first video as a fam. 

Before you can watch, you gotta pray for us :) kidding, but really. 

Christmas morning at Auntie Mimi's!


We are so grateful to be surrounded by people who love us and lift us up in so many ways. The Body of Christ is a pretty big deal. As we continue to transition back to a new normal with Friday going part-time at church, me back in school, and a lot of steps to take towards moving our family overseas, we are so appreciative of your prayers and encouragement. 

Friday is home with kids a little more and balancing how to "do ministry" part-time. There is grace and we are grateful to have an amazing church body and leadership to walk with us through this journey. Could NOT imagine doing it with anyone else. 

    -Prayers for routines with kiddos 

    - Prayers for monthly financial partners

    -Prayers for rest

    -Prayers for our Church as they transition to new normals

  I am back at the school and missing my Judah, but grateful for an amazing group of teachers I work with and knowing Judah is loved wherever he is. 

    -Prayers for routines in school 

    -Prayers for students and balance in carrying home their struggles

    -Prayers for finishing well and strong

Malachi and Miriam are continuing at their favorite places; Mary and Awang's houses. Judah joins sometimes! We are blessed to have people pouring into them and loving them so well. THANK YOU to so many who love our kids and care for them in special ways. 


We are blessed. We are honored to be walking this journey and learning how to continue to be His in whatever season we're in. 

And now.. for your enjoyment and encouragement towards Him... 

           This is us.

I've always known prayer is where it's at. From a young age it has been my constant friend. It has looked like crying, laughing, watching the stars, reading the Word, coffee shop talks, countless journals, feeding my baby, washing dishes, and hanging out laundry. It changes, but it always is, because He always is. He is kind. This knowledge that I can talk with and listen to the Most High God is kind of a big deal. May I never take it for granted.  Lately, living this relationship out loud and with others has been what has sustained. I really believe that if we didn't have people praying with us, and our hearts constantly lifting to him, we wouldn't be where we are... still going.. still persevering... constantly seeing him. This doesn't mean we aren't broken. This doesn't mean life is easy, it just means we can keep going. one step at a time. Sometimes just baby steps, but walking towards Him and his kindness. Our car wouldn't start day 3. Friday was go...

‘the act of mourning in advance, outcomes that are not guaranteed ' I heard this word for the first time at our training in Georgia. They shared it simultaneously with post grieving. You could tend towards one or the other or both. I didn’t apply it to myself. I was living the excited train of adventure that this enneagram 7 loves to ride: new places, new things, new people, unpredictable. I don’t mourn things or places, I just keep going, believing that mourning means I don’t trust the Lord or the outcome is not the right one. Yet, the past few months, I’ve been mourning everything! Loving on my work students, my friends, last time doing this, or last fall for a while, raking leaves, walks with mittens, our only too regular walks to Starbucks for cake-pops and coffee. I’ve learned that the one  outcome is guaranteed for us in this upcoming season, it’s change.    Change isn’t really new. It’s something that is required in order to grow and learn and be a better human, a ...
