 Howdy and Hello!  She was flabbergasted I would take a selfie of her right when she woke up.   The scho ol year has officially started and it has been so special so far.       First I would like to apologize for how late this is. I am still figuring out the balance of work and parenthood. I so so appreciate all the support and prayers that you all give to me, and I love keeping you all in the loop with how God is moving through your gifts and prayers.      The school year always starts with many long hours on campus hosting events, making new friends, and just generally making ourselves as leaders as available as possible to students.  This first week involves so many new faces and new conversations.

A Gift From God: Bonnie Is Born

  Howdy and Hello! One of my favorite photos forever      Our little family of two has become three. Bonnie was born earlier this month. She came about two weeks earlier than expected after Emily had some high blood pressure and the doctor decided to induce her.       It was not what we were expecting, but God has been so kind to us through this whole experience: both in the smoothness and health of delivery and through our families and friends. We have never felt so supported.      This blog will have little update on ministry and will rather be a reflection of gratitude and praise towards Abba.  My new phone wallpaper. Little Potato. Emily has been such a trooper and I love supporting her Such a special girl      Bonnie's delivery was swift and with the blessing of an epidural much less painful. She had pooped in the womb, so the NICU Nurses were immediately brought in to check her. She had some strange breathing, but all vitals looked good otherwise. To be safe though, we were m
