Heading Back to The States :(

I could cry....no wait - I already did. My head has been killing me nearly every day now for the last week. It's frustrating when I know that God has so much more for me to do with my life then to take a pain pill and be knocked out. I've been functioning enough to … Continue reading Heading Back to The States 🙁

Unity….Or The Lack There Of

I found myself with a major migraine last night. I found myself completely physically and mentally worn out. What I didn't find though - what was beautiful - I wasn't spiritually worn out. I'm actually spiritually - on fire! The theme of the Catalyst Conference was "Together" - Unity. Many of the speakers incorporated the … Continue reading Unity….Or The Lack There Of

We’re Back!

Feeling extremely exhausted after a wonderful 3-day spiritual retreat. We arrived in Atlanta late on Friday night and got up at 3am to fly into Haiti today and we are finally here with the surgery team! ALL THEIR BAGS MADE IT TOO! YEAH GOD! I was hoping the kids would be in the courtyard when … Continue reading We’re Back!

False Alarm

They did an amnio today and decided the baby's lungs weren't ready yet to meet the world. I'm sure God wanted Janeil home for other reasons but it was so sad for us not to have him here. I've laughed and cried and had amazing praise and worship. Even the lead singer from Switchfoot was … Continue reading False Alarm

BABY ON THE WAY

Janeil just got the call that Heather will probably be induced this evening. So he has left! It was sad to see him go - this conference has been so amazing and I know he would really have enjoyed it. Heather actually pushed him to come because she knows it can be life changing. The … Continue reading BABY ON THE WAY

Janeil went with us last year and met us again this year so we could experience this all together. Andy and … Continue reading Leaders Losing Soul…

Thank You for what You do and thank You for what You don’t do…..

This afternoon I was having choir practice with Magdala's little children's choir. They were practicing a song called There is Love. The Americans sing in English and they sing not in Creole but in a language that is spoken in Africa. It's really beautiful. I hope to record it tomorrow at church. But the most … Continue reading Thank You for what You do and thank You for what You don’t do…..

And The “Grays” Have It…..

So several weeks ago I had asked for people to vote on what shirt they would want for next year. Several people emailed and others posted online. The overwhelming majority wanted Gray! We've never done gray before so we agreed to do it for next year. Janeil and I have been to the screen printing … Continue reading And The “Grays” Have It…..
