Welcome to our family! My deepest desire is to point others to Christ, who continues to dramatically changed me into His image. May God's glory be revealed through the ups and downs of our family.

Narnia






I truly believe that the headquarters for The Navigators is in Narnia. What a blessing and pleasure to spend almost a week, being refreshed and trained in Colorado Springs! These pictures do not do justice to the beauty we saw. Glen Eryie is where these pictures are taken, the castle is a popular part of our property, and is next to the Garden of the Gods! Super cool!

Baptizing and Dedication





Hello again! I am thinking that I will be updating more often now... I miss sharing life in a journal format. I am unbelievably thankful that God switched us into the Navigator ministry. I have grown so very much, making the Word so much more a part of my life. I love walking with friends and students through life, praying scripture over them, and watching God work powerfully in their lives. What an honor! Anywho, this past month, God has blessed us to have the ability to dedicate Grace Naomi Graham to the Lord. We also received the priviledge to baptize Garrett ourselves. I have just a handful of times that have been that memorable and powerful in my life. I wish God's blessings on each of you!

Giving Birth




One of my truly favorite things in life is having a baby. I mean, literally, giving birth. Yes, it hurts, but the absolutely amazing miracle completely outweighs the pain. I love it, and would do it again, in a heartbeat. This past baby, Gracie, was by far my easiest labor. It shouldn't have been, she was measuring a week ahead for her head size, and I was worried she wouldn't make it out. Plus, she was my biggest baby. My water broke at 1pm, and she was born at 5:30. I pushed for 4 minutes! I still cannot believe it... She is so layed back and easy-going. Such a difference in comparison with the pregnancy, which was VERY hard. I included the picture my mom took when my water broke, right before Gracie entered to world, and our first couple pictures after she was born. What a miracle, and a perfect gift from God!!

The effects of homeschooling, ministry and a third baby






What are the effects? Not getting lots of things done! :) Sorry for the slow updating, here are some recent pictures of the family. I am really wondering how everything is supposed to get done... Homeschooling, ministry, family, household chores, quiet time, and exercise... Any thoughts anyone?
