You guys. We have lived in Québec City for one whole year! One year ago today, we moved into our apartment and began a whole new adventure. What a year. After one year, we know how to navigate around town without a map (mostly). We know where we can buy ground sausage for the cheapest … Continue reading One Year!
Praises & Prayer Request
This Week
Thing might be pretty quiet in our corner of the internet this week. Yesterday, I tested positive for Cvid after feeling kind of crummy for a few days. We have all had it before, but it is totally different this time around. My body is so sore, my stomach is upset, and I’m so tired. … Continue reading This Week
Answer to Prayer
Over three weeks ago, after her dental surgery, Ruth stopped talking. But last night, God said « YES! » to countless prayers, and Ruth started talking again! To hear her say I love you, Mama was an answer to prayer. (And the poop jokes that accompanied it were fine, too, after three weeks of radio … Continue reading Answer to Prayer
Ruth Update
Last Friday, Ruth had a scheduled dental surgery to take care of some oral problems. What we thought were just fixing a couple of cavities turned into x-rays, a cleaning, three pulled teeth, and more. Ruth's whole mouth changed, basically, with all the work that was done while she was under general anesthesia. The healing … Continue reading Ruth Update
Happy (American) Thanksgiving!
Here in Québec, we celebrated Action de Grâce in October, but we can't let today go by without giving thanks again. There are so many things to be thankful for this year: We've lived in Quebec for over a year now, and in our apartment in Québec for almost six months. We have a permanent … Continue reading Happy (American) Thanksgiving!
Thank You
Ruth started a special new art class at school and had her first day of French class yesterday... and loved both. Clara looks eagerly for her friends every morning and, despite still not eating lunch or snacks, really enjoys being at school. Your (and our!) prayers are being answered. We just wanted to say thanks. … Continue reading Thank You
Life Update & Prayer Requests
Pollen counts here in Québec are finally on the decline, after being about 1.5x higher than usual for several weeks. We've felt that through congestion, sneezing, sore throats, and lots of sinus pressure, so we're very thankful for the reprieve this week! Other than that, here's a quick life update on our family and a … Continue reading Life Update & Prayer Requests
And so it Begins.
Happy Labor Day yesterday! All of our long weekend plans were thrown out the window when the ragweed and pollen count here in Quebec exploded, along with some of our allergies. So we spent the weekend doing puzzles, wearing pajamas, watching movies, watching church online, battling pollen pollen, and reconnecting as a family. While it … Continue reading And so it Begins.
School Started!
When God started calling our family away from Togo and to something else, we made a list of things to pray over. The list included our spiritual gifts, ministry passions, talents, and other things we’d love to see included in our lives. One of those things was the opportunity to send our kids to a … Continue reading School Started!
Our Hope
Our hope is found in Christ alone. When fevers spike in the middle of the night and kids get sick in their beds, our hope is in Christ. When potty training goes off the rails and we have to buy more pull-ups, our hope is in Christ. When we remember all the things we sold … Continue reading Our Hope
