Every week day morning that I come together with the kids, there is a specific focus that we have. And Monday start off with martyrdom. Thus, we call it “Martyr Monday.” We have been walking through…

So, to preface the audio, today was a beautiful sunny day here in New Mexico. The kids were already outside digging in the dirt and playing, so instead of pulling them inside to do…

I still have yet to finish my little blog series but had to interrupt it to blog about the precious new addition to our family.  I cannot rave enough about my wife. I saw her do the most incredible thing that I will ever experience with her in my life.

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...

I say that almost as a declaration, because it truly can be glorious, if you trust the One bringing the change. In the past 10 months there has been a lot of change in our lives. The great part is that the Lord had been preparing our hearts for this change in many ways. So when it was time, by His grace, we were ready to take the leap. Our first leap was leaving Bloomington or more specifically, Bethany’s campus, which we LOVE...
