Day 51 in the desert. The literal desert, the economic desert, and the unemployment desert, but thankfully, not the spiritual desert. While God has allowed us to be unemployed for longer than we hoped, He has graciously been teaching us to live one day at a time, trusting Him for each step. It’s a new… Read More Money Miracles
Our Saturday morning began with making phone calls for the new Canyon Springs Baptist Church that will be opening in Las Vegas this December. Stephen and Tammi Wess are planting a church in the Summerlin area of Vegas. We visited them this past July as we were taking our Southwest Church Plant Survey trip. They… Read More Buckeye Heritage Days
“Get out your sweaters, jackets, and coats because tomorrow it’s going to get cold! A cold front is moving in and tomorrow’s high will be 63 degrees–that’s a six and a three.” I actually heard this announcement on the radio while driving back from my interview this morning. It is now official that I live… Read More Cold Front Coming–Bundle Up!
Church is the highlight of our week. Church has changed drastically for us since moving to Arizona. Since I myself didn’t have a clear picture of what a Sunday at a small church plant looked like, I thought I’d give you all a glimpse of what we do on Sundays, so you know how to… Read More A Day in the Life of CBC
This is the strangest autumn Stephen and I have had yet. We’re still wearing short sleeves and enjoying weather in the 80s and 90s, and for the first time since preschool, neither of us have to go to school this year! This life of unemployment and perpetual summer is definitely throwing off our internal clocks.… Read More Corn Maze
October 17th is the Sweetest Day this year. Really, it is! I didn’t know the Sweetest Day was a holiday until one of my high school teachers chose to get married on the Sweetest Day many Octobers ago. In honor of this day, I decided to put together a list of some of the things… Read More Today is the Sweetest…
If WV is the Mountain State, and people from WV are called Mountaineers, and if Indiana is the Hoosier State, and people from Indiana are called Hoosiers, does that make us Grand Canyons since Arizona is the Grand Canyon State? Cool! I’ve always wanted to be as big as the Grand Canyon! 🙂 Actually, I… Read More Now We Are Grand Canyons?
Last night we had the privilege of participating in Crossroad’s first youth group meeting ever. We are excited to be youth sponsors and work closely with the teens of our church. We had 3 girls and 2 guys, along with parents and sponsors. The youth group will be meeting every other Monday night and having… Read More First CBC Youth Group…Ever!
I’ve been drooling over these aprons for several months now. Heavenly Hostess makes some amazing aprons that actually flatter your figure and are super cute! It’s so hard to choose a favorite from these gorgeous choices, but here’s one I love, the Ginger. This month Apronista is giving away a Heavenly Hostess apron of the… Read More Aprons Have Never Been So Cute!
Our car was the one reliable possession in our time of transition–or so we thought. Although we’ve not yet been in Arizona for a full month, we’ve already had two car repairs. The first was the dysfunctional radiator fan which caused the car to overheat. Thankfully we were with Pastor Ryan, and he let us… Read More Another Car Repair
