Autumn in the South

As time allows I would like to share with you all more fully what our life is like here in Greenville, SC. But for now I will share with you a lot of photos of our time here, (and yes there are still more to come). I would would like to say that we have...

Looking Back

I apologize for being silent for so long. It is a difficult thing to bare your soul for the whole world to see. I felt for a time that nothing in my life was private; and so I retreated and just took a break from it all. But I think it's time to go back...

Zoo Daze

Uh... Today was one of those days where I felt like I was living in a zoo. Seriously. It was awful.  You have no idea how happy I was when they were all in bed sleeping and the house was finally quiet. Some days I wait for bedtime from the time I get up in...

A dark world

The world is bright and beautiful. Its sunshine and raindrops. Its beautiful sunsets and quietness of night. Life is smiles and frowns. Laughter and tears. Its beautiful, wonderful, confusing and crazy. With JESUS life is that that and so much more. But, with out Him life is is darkness. Utter, complete, infinite, DARKNESS. If we...

There are a lot of things that are.... shall we say different here in Bolivia. Some are easy to get use to and some are a bit of a struggle. On days when my hearts longs for my homeland, I try to think of all the wonderful things that God has given us to enjoy here....

Sweeter gets the journey

I was standing outside, explaining something to my oldest two children when I felt a little hand slip into mine. I looked down to see Carter, my two year old son, tugging on my hand. Now, you have to understand that this is Saturday. It's the only day besides Sundays that I don't have Spanish...

His love is amazing, steady and unchanging.

Why do we love him so much? He's never done anything for us; we've had to do everything for him and yet we would give our lives for him.We were watching our 7 month old son play on the bed when my husband commented. That's sort of how God's love is toward us. We don't have...
