Hello everyone,

It’s been a long time since I’ve written on here… about 5 years. This blog space was a wonderful tool to connect with you while Isaac recovered from the accident. We will forever be grateful for your faithful prayers and support. I know I speak for everyone involved when I tell you how blessed we were by you. That was over 6 years ago now!

That part of our journey is over, but it has forever changed us. And the story isn’t over. I stopped writing because life swept us up, but I have recently felt the Lord put it on my heart to write again. So I plan to use this blog space to share the encouraging things the Lord puts on my heart, and maybe sometimes funny life stories. I don’t actually know where this will go, but I hope you will be built up through reading this blog.

May it again be a tool used to glorify the Lord. May it remind us who he is. And may the messages here be used to lift up your heart to sing His praises.

Now a little update on Isaac and our family. We are living in Washington again after spending a few sweet years in Clovis, NM. We moved here in February and have been doing really well although we miss our family and friends in New Mexico dearly. We have 4 children now. Yes, you read that right – 4 Children. What can we say except God has blessed us and filled our home with lots of joy. Lots of messes, craziness, laundry, dishes, and chaos too… but I like to focus on the joy. The crew is my full time job, and I’m learning to find satisfaction in the mundane duties that come with motherhood. Sometimes it’s really beautiful.  In our free time (which is not much at the moment) we still love to work on writing and recording music. We’ve had the opportunity lately to lead worship for a few local churches. That has been an answer to prayer and an outlet for our hearts passion.

Another EXCITING path we’ve come across is the opportunity to become a part of the staff for a YWAM base in Port Townsend WA.  We’re in the process of seeking the Lord for his direction about this. My first thought regarding joining the base was – “YES! YES! YES!” and I felt a fire stir in my heart. To me it feels like where our story should go, a continuation of where we left off.  It feels right, but we want to wait on the Lord before jumping in. So please pray for us – for wisdom and confirmation as we consider this. And pray the base gets LOTS of students.

“I know Lord, that our lives are not our own. We are not able to plan our own course.”

Jeremiah 10:23

We can take heart because of the truth presented in this scripture. It encourages me because it means I don’t go anywhere God doesn’t allow. It’s not totally up to me. And because He is a good father even if we go through darkness and trouble He will take care of us. Since He already gave His heart to us – His son Jesus, what won’t he do for us?

Rest in that truth today. Even if the path isn’t easy God is with you. God is for you. His love never fails.

Thanks for reading! Till next week.

Blessings,

Kristi
