Yes, you may already know that we have more family in town. Trent’s parents are visiting. It has definitely been a month and a half of company, but we have been having a great time! It has also worked out well because things are very flexible right now where we are. So we have been [...]

My sister and brother-in-law, Brock and Auny, came to visit last week and we had such a good time. I knew that we would have some stories to tell from their trip. They are never boring! Here are some highlights.
Running around town:
We spent a lot of our time just running around town seeing some of [...]

After all of those attacks, we didn´t take even the smallest preparation lightly. We realized our complete dependence on God and knew that He would have to fight for us. We prayed over every detail and God proved Himself faithful. I can´t begin to tell you how it felt to finally get to South America [...]

We didn’t get here without a fight. I’m always skeptical about saying things happen because of Satan. I mean, let´s be honest, it sounds a little cheesy. But sometimes his tricks are so obvious that you couldn’t miss them if you tried. The funny thing is, a lot of times, they backfire on him.
The morning [...]

So we moved to be closer to family. Everything was falling into place and we were so excited, but with all of the moving expenses we were over budget for the month, way over budget. I didn’t know how we were going to make up for it. I can remember checking our bank statement online [...]

Well, this was it. We had a job picked out and we knew that God was in this. This was actually happening. I can remember finding it hard to talk about anything else.
We were excited to tell our parents about our job choice but also nervous at the same time. Like normal parents they [...]

…So I was running and God answered my question. ¨If I hadn´t done it this way, you would have never known it was from me,¨ He said. God knows me so well. He knows how slow I am to change and how I don´t like to take risks. He started preparing me for this decision [...]

I’ve never been an outdoors-type person. I grew up in the city and my family never considered camping a vacation. So, several years ago, when I read an article about a couple of guys going out in pairs to do mission work with nothing more than a backpack and a tent, I couldn’t explain why [...]

So we got married. There’s a lot to be said about how all of that went down but that is not what this is about. We knew that the next step for us was for Trent to go to seminary. God taught us some incredible lessons during that time.
Before we moved to Fort Worth [...]
Fine, I’ll Write a Blog (Bragging On God a Little Part 4)

I have to admit that I’ve not felt much like blogging lately. Kay and I are in another “waiting mode” which is honestly the most annoying circumstance that I seem to find myself in a lot lately. We are in Ecuador on a recruiting assignment that has proven to be less productive than [...]
