Another First Together


Oh the beauty of a good night’s sleep. I remember lying in bed the night before Mazy was to be born (I was scheduled to be induced). I remember thinking “this” was the last night of sleep I would get before she was in our arms. A moment I will always remember, but a moment…
Start the list: You haven’t finished the laundry. You haven’t made that new recipe. You haven’t organized your kids’ papers. You haven’t made a “good” supper in weeks. You haven’t exercised in who knows how long. You haven’t done this. And you haven’t done that. I am sure you can fill in the blanks. Think…
Gardening is something I have loved doing. Back in St. Joseph, we had a little 6 x 8 plot – must remind you we had only .15 of an acre. Yes, that is a decimal BEFORE the 1. So it was a small plot of land and a small garden. But we were able to…
Tomorrow is the big day! As you can tell, Dan and I are extremely excited and humbled to go to Belize! We are both healthy thus far, so even more so, it makes going that much less worrisome. (BTW, thank you for the prayers!) And we continue to pray that it stays that way. We also pray…
I was reminded when I did my blogging survey that one subject I do not talk about very often is marriage! When I read that, I thought “huh…I don’t!” Then I wondered why I don’t? I am open about every other area of our life, but I marriage is something that I do not talk…
While attending the True Woman Conference this past weekend, there were many things I realized about my life. But one of the most impactful is that I believe lies. EVERY DAY. I honestly didn’t think I did. When one of the speakers started to talk about truth and lies, I kept thinking, what lies am…

Thank you once again for sharing your heart with us! So glad we could provide you with a "Fun Run" and be used by God to bless you today! Thank you also for blessing CMCS by your participation. Even though you talk about you and Dan racing, there were 715+ who were racing/walking with you to support CMCS! Your "First" is also a blessing to that family that is in need of tuition assistance or a bus ride to school. Amazing how God accomplishes so much through the corporate working of His people!
Your story also brought a tear to my eye as I also sit here reflecting on Elias and his heart. So happy he could compete this year as well! We anxiously await his July 31 appointment to hear what the Dr.s have to say about his 6 month Echo-Cardiogram. The tech that did the test said he notices some leaking, but couldn't tell if it was good or bad because he has no records of where Elias was at after his surgery.
Day by day. Faith in Christ. All is well.
Kevin
Thank you for your message Kevin! That is crazy that 715+ ran/walked today! That is mind-boggling to even think about! And for such a good cause- a cause we believe in :). I too, think of Elias as he has so much ahead of him yet. What will his life look like? What does God have in store for His future? That is where the comforts of Heidelberg Catechism 1 comes in – we are not our own, but belong BODY and SOUL to our faithful Savior Jesus Christ. I bet July 31 cannot come sooner. May God give you peace of mind and heart as you anticipate that time. Keep me posted! You and Jen are amazing people 🙂
