I've had people say, "It feels like your pregnancy has flown by!" and I agree! In the midst of those long weeks of feeling sick it may have felt like it was dragging on but now its so hard to believe that we'll have a baby in our arms in two months. Our due date … Continue reading Bump-date

My husband and I lead a small group in our home on Monday nights for college students. It’s one of our favorite things we’ve done since moving to Memphis and living so close to the U of M. We have new faces and old faces alike this semester around our table having dinner, praying for one … Continue reading We’re Called To More…

As I lay in bed awake at 4 in the morning with the jabs and kicks of our baby in my ribs, I think about my mom. And I wonder what she must have felt after raising two babies, losing two babies, and carrying me - the surprise baby - later in life. (To be … Continue reading He is holding us still.

However, over the years I have found that when I get up early and spend … Continue reading Cultivating Healthy Rhythms

I’m certain that no matter how long the Lord allows me to serve college ministry, I will forever stand in awe at the way that God uses our students to take the Gospel to those who have never heard. It is never lost on me this blessing of having a front row seat at the … Continue reading Pray Earnestly to the Lord of the Harvest

Micah and I have began to share some personal news with our friends and family over the last month. As we have shared, I have had so many people say things like "oh I can't wait til you announce on social media!" and I quickly said, "Oh, we're not going to do that." I wish … Continue reading We’re Missing the Point…

Baby Grooms coming December 2019 We're making room for a beautiful new life to join our family over the next few months.
