As we wait to see what God has in store for growing our family, we are asking for financial assistance. Adoption is usually a very expensive process but God has already provided so much for us! There are upcoming expenses ahead but we trust the Lord to provide all that we need. He has always been faithful and generally through the generosity of His people.

Why Adoption?
Chris and I are celebrating our 10 year anniversary in a few months. 10 years ago we were discussing when to have children, not how. I had always had the dream of adopting in the back of my mind but we planned to have natural children before we even considered this. But life doesn’t always …

A Series of Opportunities
We haven’t posted much lately. It’s so easy to share when life is good and sweet but when hard things come, my tendency is to shrink up and tell as few people as possible. And hard things have come. And have kept coming. So we haven’t updated. But I’m done shrinking. I’m ready to talk …
Update: Unexpected Answers
What do I actually believe about God when the future is uncertain and painful? That has been the question that has been answered over the last two months as I’ve actively been applying to jobs (about 150!) without many interviews or responses except for an occasional rejection email. God has made a few things in …

On the Other Side
Hello! If you've looked at our timelines you probably noticed that this is a big week for us! We left Malawi yesterday and after 30+ hours of travel, we are safe & sound back in Southern California. All of our stuff even made it with us & is undamaged - which I think is pretty …
CAPA Graduation!
Gideon Manda, the dean of students at CAPA, told us an African story the other day. An elephant and a rabbit walked crossed a bridge together, which shook as they crossed it. The rabbit raised his hands and said, “We are making the bridge shake!” That is how we felt as we saw the students …
An Adventure… In the Hospital
First of all, I'm ok now. 🙂 I've been taking the Kopp kids advice and getting well soon... Saturday Chris and I hiked a nearby mountain with a group of friends. Yesterday I stayed home from church with some tummy issues - not muscle issues as I would have expected from hiking! I couldn't pinpoint …
Trip to Green Pastures and Still Waters
Chris' birthday was a few weeks ago. I love buying gifts but without malls, Amazon and easy ways to take things home in a few months, a regular gift didn't seem like the best idea. And after all, Chris isn't really a "gift" guy and would prefer an experience to a new "thing" (unless, …
