Before you begin reading, please take note that we are NOT moving away. Now then… you should be able to focus and read the details… A bit of history: Three years ago this month (before Josiah’s diagnosis) our family was in Dallas, TX for a workshop learning more about Pioneer Bible Translators. After 1 […]
Christian Standard Article
A friend of ours writes for the Christian Standard, and a few months ago he asked if he could write an article sharing our story. We are humbled and blessed that God is continuing to use our story to help others. We hope you enjoy his writing as much as we did! God Had Other Plans […]
November 2014
Aside from all the doctor’s appointments, we had plenty more going on in the month of November. On November 1st, we were honored to attend Jefferson City Cross-fit’s fundraiser they had put on for Josiah. It was called “Journey for Josiah” and they raised money for us to purchase gym mats for our basement play […]
October 23, 2014
There is a toddler bed in the boys’ room that NEVER gets used because Josiah sleeps with us. However, tonight, Josiah climbed up in the toddler bed and Samuel sang him to sleep. Girls are both asleep. Nathan is gone visiting with his cousin who is in town for the weekend. It’s been a long […]

Second – Ikea. Enough said. Last, but certainly not least, the conference was more than I had imagined. Icing on […]
Be Ready
Last Sunday, Nathan was given the opportunity to preach at our church. I always think he does a WONDERFUL job; but I may be a bit biased… He talked some about Josiah and our journey, revealing things we hadn’t shared with many. He also referenced a recent blog post of mine, asking the question “What […]
What are you holding on to?
Last November I attended a ladies retreat, featuring the speaker Joanna Weaver, author of Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World. During one evening session, she talked about Mary pouring expensive perfume on Jesus’ feet and wiping it with her hair. She described in detail how this was a gift that showed extravagant sacrifice, extravagant boldness […]
Freedom in Our Stories
Everyone has a story. There is freedom in telling that story. Freedom that allows one to be open and honest and completely real with what is going on in their lives. Little did I know that after Josiah was diagnosed on a Thursday afternoon, I would soon find freedom in sharing our story on a […]
