El Salvador Support


Good morning blog readers! I hope you are having a great Wednesday. I told everyone I would provide more information about our upcoming mission trip. Here is most of the letter that I sent out to family. If you can support us in any way we would truly appreciate it!!!!

God has truly been at work in our lives since we moved to Kansas City. He has provided us with an amazing new church, Northland Baptist Church, where we have been blessed with great ministry opportunities and a wonderful church family.

I would like to share with you a challenging ministry opportunity that God has laid on mine and Luke's hearts.  From January 1 to January 8, we will be travelling to El Salvador to participate in a variety of ministry opportunities. Northland Baptist Church has a partnership with a church plant in El Salvador, as well as with an orphanage for sexually abused girls. While there, we will split our time between outreach projects with the church plant and ministering to the young girls and their caretakers. This is the church’s third trip and each time, participants have come back broken for the people they served and blessed through the help they provided.

You can help us in several ways. First and most important is through prayer. Please pray that God will bless us our ministries and soften the hearts of those who we will come into contact with while in El Salvador. Pray that travel will go smoothly and we, as a group, will be prepared for the trip. We also need prayers that our financial needs will be met.  At this time, the cost is $1,400 per person, which makes it $2,800 for both of us to be a part of this mission trip.

Another way you can be involved in this ministry is through financial support. Our address is listed below if you feel led to contribute financially. Whether you support us financially, prayerfully or both, any and all support is appreciated.

Thank you blog-reading friends for your support! I truly feel blessed when I see that someone has commented on my blog. My only prayer is that my stories can affect others around me and maybe brighten their day or encourage them in some way! :)

Tough Stuff of 2014

What a good time of year to sit and reflect over the past twelve months. My life is pretty normal – to me. But I really do believe that other people view it as…not quite so normal. Just in the past twelve months I have had three addresses, moved to a different state, sold a house, and bought a house. Luke and I strive to follow where God leads us and that isn’t always easy. Today I would like to share the toughest thing that happened in 2014. I do know that our biggest blessing piggybacks on my toughest situation. Isn’t that how it usually works? Hard. Tearful. Embarrassing. Mortifying actually. That is how I would sum up 2014’s toughest situation.   This is difficult for me to type and I know will be even more difficult to actually post, but I believe it’s all part of the healing process. Let’s just rip the Band-Aid off here – In April, I was told my contract at the school I was teaching at would not be renewed. Whew, glad that’s over. I’m swallowing my pride and there’s a bi...

KC Adventures

So I've decided that I'm not so good at blogging. I meant to do this at least a couple times a week...not once every two weeks. It's a very busy time in my life so I apologize! I'll try harder! I have decided to focus this blog post on more FUN things! It seems my past posts have been serious tear-jerkers and while I enjoy them...it's time for some fun! Luke and I (the dorks that we are) have created a short list of adventures we would like to embark on when we get to KC. My plan is to document all these adventures and share them with you. This list is just a few things we have found so far...I'm sure it will grow. And as I look over it...most of it seems centered around food and sports. Hrmmm...let's get started. Oh, by the way, these are in no particular order. 1. Kansas City Royals game. No, we are NOT going to disown the Cardinals! We will always be Cardinals fans. However, Royals games are CHEAP! They have BUCK nights and areas of the stadium that ar...

Apartment Pics!

I suppose I finally feel settled in enough to allow a few pictures to be shown. Things are getting in order around here. Our new furniture was delivered yesterday - which really helps it feel more like a home. Yes, I will tell you - this place is TINY! If we would have started out here, it would have been fine. But living in our previous home (with my huge kitchen) has spoiled us. The downfalls so far are: 4 flights of stairs DOWN to do laundry (which costs $2.50/load and is used by 4 apartments), 2 flights up carrying groceries and a small, small kitchen. However, this place is pretty darn cozy and decorating a new space is always fun! :) This picture was taken standing in the living room. That is the kitchen wall. Had to make up for hardly no cabinets with a couple purchases from IKEA (love it!)...the cart and the shelf on the wall. This is half of the kitchen. It does have a new stove/microwave. The cabinets and counter tops are new as well, there just isn't very much of the...
