Let the fun begin. The bell has rung. Let’s see how both halves of the U.S. match up against each other in the ring of comparison.
Read MoreThis blog series is a bit off topic from what I have been blogging about (and I will continue with the subjects of family devotional times in the future) but I’ve had it in my mind for well over 3 months (really 3 years) and finally got inspired to start it weeks ago. Recently I’ve been stirred to write this based on the amount of loyalty so many have to certain regions of the U.S. as well to one coast or the other. Rarely...
Read MoreMerry Chraaaaastmas sweet friends and family (with mouths wide open)! This was the one pose that caught their attention long enough for me to snap a few pictures with all of them looking my way. What a gift they are to me. They keep me ever on my toes. I pray that you and your loved ones are well this season and that you have amazing memories to share with those around you for years to come. But first and foremost may we remember...

Our family has been in transition for around 2 weeks now. Really we have been in constant transition for the last 9 months or longer but who’s keeping track? Seriously though, the last few weeks have been filled with sleeping in basements (thank you to those who made a place for us in this time), filling our truck with everything we own…again and being humbled once again in how we don’t have it all together. :) There...

I want to preface this post with the two links describing why and what we are doing in this season. They will help to better understand some of the things I bring up in this post if you have not already read them. “What” Update “Why” Update As of right now, excluding the miles driving around the cities we land in, we have driven 6,845 miles. We have approximately 2 more months of living in our current RV and...
Read MoreThere have been many who have asked what the heck we are doing as we travel. The answers vary depending on what city we are in but I wanted to give just one testimony from Portland. In a previous post I briefly mentioned a man by the name of John. He has been waiting for a heart transplant. Months ago he was required to move close to the Portland area based on the need for close proximity if a heart were to become available for...
Read MoreOver the last several weeks I have had several people ask me what it means to follow God. To listen and obey wholeheartedly. The question always comes in light of what our family is currently doing. Finances usually end up as one of the central points to the conversation. However, most the time I find that it is the uncertainty that surrounds our life which really takes the spotlight and underlying attention of all questions. Whether...

Since picking up our newest home in Minnesota several weeks ago, a 29 foot travel trailer, we have experienced little sunlight. As we traveled across the northern states of the U.S. we encountered a blizzard in Montana, significant winds in Idaho, freezing rain and ice in eastern Oregon before finally arriving in our current location of Portland. To say it mildly, it was quite a journey with many obstacles in getting to our...

As far as the “WHY” behind what we are doing this year…? Simple answer is obedience. But let me preface a longer answer to that question. Before I do, if you haven’t checked out my blog post around the “WHAT” – UPDATE then I would encourage you to. It will make more sense of this post. It has been several years now that we as a family began asking the Lord to reshape our hearts and lives to...
