Lately my mind hasn’t had much time to slow down and rest. In less then 10 days I will be back in the US. It has so many implications for my life that it is taking a long time to wrap my mind around from; Leaving France, getting married, leaving Midwest Skier, and even projects…

It seems like its been a while since I wrote and thought a quick update would be good. We had a great easter celebration with church and then had about 25 people over for a late lunch that was great! Afterwards we had some time in prayer just thanking the Lord for what he did…

While in Pau with Olivier we walked through this beauitful garden. I took several pictures of it but then here were eleven ducklings. So amazingly carefree and I even got to see a couple fall off that rock into the water (one of the three swimming had just done so). After a few minutes we…

With boughts of hail dampening our spirits slightly I turned to prayer. Praying that the thunderstorms the valley over wouldn’t spill over, and God responded by providing blue sky for our walk down the mountain and the rest of the day. It was amazing.
