Legacy

One of the neatest things about itinerating has been the opportunity to speak in churches where my parents and grandparents have a history.  I took this picture of the girls laying under the front pew at Union Grove Assembly in Hampton.  My dad used to lay under this very pew (well... back then there were no cushions...) when he was a little guy...and sleep while Papaw Blann would be leading the church.  So very cool to be here.

iPhone and Apps

Brad and I both have discovered apps on our iPhones that we love. I took this picture of Macy on her 7th birthday. Love it!

October 09 Update

Why has there been so much time since the last update?

Well...let me see. In August we flew to Springfield for a week of meetings.

We returned from that week and had one week to pack up our house.

We moved from DC to West Memphis.

We unpacked.

Macy started 1st grade.

Brad's close friend and mentor, Jim Severn, tragically contracted a rare virus and passed away.

We travelled to NW Arkansas for Jim's funeral service.

The next week Mia and I both had the swine flu. Then I got bronchitis. Cough, cough.

Brad and I went back to Springfield for another week of meetings.

We have been spending countless moments in prayer about where God is calling us.

Things have been too uncertain to blog about.

Starting today.... I hope to keep the updates coming again.

And just to keep everyone is suspense... Brad and I are flying to Madrid, Spain, for a few days next week ...

Moving AGAIN!

Our one year program is ending here in DC - and we are moving.... for the third time in a year! Crazy!

We are moving to West Memphis this next week, and plan to live there for one year while we prepare for our missions appointment.

Details soon... please be praying as we move that God will give us strength and refreshing!

June & July Update













Why is it that we were here for 10 MONTHS and no one came to see us (except for some people who whirled up for a mere 36 hours)? :)

AND then....everyone wants to come see us in the same month!?

I am exhausted! I have been tour guide Barbie for 4 straight weeks!

Well, I am tired - but I LOVED every minute of it. I treasure the moments we were able to share with our family and friends during this year in DC.

Rise Up!

About 18 months ago, we began to sense change was coming. We didn't know what that meant, but it was something we just felt in our spiri...
