where we're at

 it is already the middle of november. i dont know how that happened but here we are. waiting for out new and exciting life to begin:) we sent out our support letters to some friends and family and our home churches last month and are starting to see responses which is super cool. there is really nothing like having people back you up with their friendship and their prayers and their money. yesterday we had a relative tell us she had been praying for us to have the opportunity to go into ministry for a while now. isnt that crazy? that before we knew what God wanted from us he had people praying for us to figure it out:) most of the people we tell are super excited for us and think camp is the perfect fit for us. its a really awesome time in our lives... BUT.. its also been a struggle in that we now know WHERE and WHAT we're going to do with our lives, but the WHEN is still up in the air. please be praying for us to be able to raise our funds for camp quickly and get up there and JUMP in to our new calling. and if you havent received a letter and would like one just drop us an email and let us know!

surviving colic

we always say that our first baby was cake. everything was easy with A- she loves to eat and eats well. she slept through the night at 6 weeks old and has been doing it ever since. she was potty trained, through the night and in big girl underpants 24 hours a day at 25 months. she is smiley and friendly and just goes with the flow. so we knew in the back of our minds that no baby can compete with that:) and that our second would be more challenging.  ha. we never could have prepared for W. from the moment he was born, at 9 lbs 6 oz he has been full of surprises. he didnt cry for like 2 minutes, 2 of the longest minutes of my life. the nurse was on the phone with the nicu. and i couldnt see him. and all i wanted was to hear this baby i had worked so hard for cry so i could hold him. and then he did.  the next day they told us he had to pee within 24 hours of his circumcision so that they knew everything was working properly. of course he didnt do that so they sent him to the n...

what Jesus wants us to do

Romans 6 Dead to Sin, Alive to God   1  What shall we say then?  Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?  2  By no means! How can  we who died to sin still live in it?  3  Do you not know that all of us  who have been baptized  into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?  4  We were  buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as  Christ was raised from the dead by  the glory of the Father, we too might walk in  newness of life.   5  For  if we have been united with him in  a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.  6  We know that  our old self  was crucified with him in order that  the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.  7  For  one who has died  has been set free from sin.  8  Now  if we hav...

the big announcement!

well the process only took FOREVER but i am sooo happy to announce...that we received the call (3 weeks ago now): my husband is officially on staff at a christian camp in michigan!! we have been searching out a path for ourselves for a LONG time and just saw a bunch of dead ends. we couldnt figure out why both of the houses we made offers on didnt work out (please note: they are both, as of this post, still EMPTY). we didnt understand why we have felt led to bounce from place to place, making friends and then having to leave them. we didnt know how J could use his construction talents without having to work a construction job. and now we do. we belong at camp. J's title will be maintenance director, but our whole family will be on call to do whatever needs to be done at any given moment. we have a home in northern michigan. and we have made connections at several churches among several states that will hopefully support our ministry. woohoo! please be praying for us as w...
