In the middle of all the stress and running around, trying to find a house to call home, a car to take us around, a community to be family, and all the admin of social security numbers, bank accounts, credit cards, cell phone plans……… Sometimes God swoops in and does some mighty, inexplicable work through […]
On Wednesday afternoon my mom, the kids, and I flew into South Bend, Indiana, the nearest airport to Elkhart. Tom and his dad (who drove the uHaul truck and arrived the night before) met us at the airport with the rental car. And just like that… After two years of support raising, lots of prayer, […]
This is it! We are, literally, going now!!! After an amazing crew of friends helped us pack the uHaul truck on Sunday, June 1st, Tom and his dad rolled out of town Monday morning – Elkhart bound! The kids, my mom and I are hanging back at a friend’s house to allow the guys a […]

This is it. The time is now!! We are going – Lord willing and Lord providing – June 2nd, 2014. That’s 58 (broken) sleeps from now. And between now and then we need miracles. Lots of them. But if there’s anything we’ve learned in this process, it’s that waiting on miracles is an awesome […]
As we round the corner to the end of our time here in Manitoba, we are facing a few (mega) things and a few (mega) decisions need to be made. It feels a lot like a storm, with so many things swirling around: funding percentages and a start date, and everything that those affect (giving […]
