Thank you all for your encouragement regarding our recent news. We are confident God has a plan and we are so blessed to have so many people praying for us as we decide what our next steps are.

home & hostess
just like that
“We’re not getting the house.” It was Wednesday night (3.13.19) and we were winding down in our bed. I was in the middle of a chapter of a book with plans to fall asleep when the chapter was over. When I heard Aaron say these words, I looked up mid-paragraph and saw Aaron’s expressionless face. […]

what i learned in my first year of home owning
On Saturday (12.15.18), Aaron and I celebrated being home owners for a full year. Our home was a result of literally years of prayer, tears, disappointments and dreams. When we signed the papers and were given the code to the lock-box that had our keys in it, it was like being on cloud-nine. We moved […]
