“Yeah, most white people avoid these areas. . .
Hard Shells broken
We entered the gates and you could see so many young Guatemalan girls all dressed in blue.
miracle
WOW! Is God in the middle of bringing Esperanza’s healing? Are we going to finally witness the miracle we have been praying for? Are we witnessing one now?
MRI report
The tumor had noticeably grown in the last 10 months. Her ventricles were definitely larger and the space where her Cerebrospinal fluid flows was becoming smaller.
Prayer for Esperanza
Esperanza’s tumor has grown and he’s concerned.
Are we coming back?
Are we coming back to Arkansas?
Stepping Out
In 31 days our family will be embarking on another adventure of a life time.
Clarity
Per our family’s norm we sat down on our couch right before bed to pray.
Walking in Forgiveness
This November Bruce and I will be celebrating ten years of marriage. Like many of you who are married Bruce and I have had our own share of marital challenges.
Gripping Fear
Confusion swirled around in my head and my reactions to my children became short. My Spirit longed for just a few quiet moments to clear my head.
Crying Out in the Small Things
Every day we make decisions. Some big some small. How often though do we include the Lord?
fighting
Was this REALLY where I wanted to stay? Did I REALLY want to continue with the heavy heart and the sadness.
thankfulness
There are seasons that can feel more hectic then others but it’s just a drop in the bucket to the vastness of our God. He’s infinite, powerful and majestic. He’s so much
Parched land
All of a sudden I was back. My mind was no longer wandering. I began to ask myself.
marriage story
“Just like we are about to take a leap of faith and jump out of this plane will you take the ultimate leap of faith and marry me?”
Loss
It was the grand finale of a two week nightmare. Not prepared for the pain that surged through my body as I vomited uncontrollably.
Safety
There I sat sharing what was happening and where God was leading us when a question came up.
"How close is the nearest hospital where you are going?"
Holding too Tightly
He constantly stretches us to let go of “things” and trust that His ways are better.
Obedience
As we’ve traveled from country to country, meetings to meetings, prayer times to prayer times and so much more we have done life with these treasures so often right at our side.
