In the light of His Glory and Grace

The truth of this song is manifested in our lives as God carries us through the storm of Kristen’s physical death. How precious is the gift of faith we have been given! The gift is not to be hidden. It is our obligation to share! “Our grief is swallowed up in the light of His Read More …

2016 – Trials and Triumphs

The sun has set on 2016. It has been a year of great trial and great blessing. Thank you Lord for the trials and triumphs of 2016. We especially thank you that our most difficult trial resulted in the fulfillment of your most precious promise for our sweet island princess. We praise God that Kristen Read More …

God’s Glory

What a beautiful and intimate promise. As I look ahead to our future without Kristen’s physical presence, I am overwhelmed by the gentle touch of God’s grace. Last Easter, I asked God to see His heart regarding Jesus and our sin. He delicately guided me through two months of struggle over my daughter and her Read More …

Christmas 2015

Looking forward to that glorious day! For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away…For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. (1Cor 13:9-12) Then we who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds Read More …

Faith that overcomes… even death!

We hope all those who are on this journey with us have been lifted up by the intimacy of God in the midst of this trial. If you are new to the page or our story, it is in reality, God’s story in our life. It is, at its core, a story of grace, God’s Read More …

Perspective (By faith or By sight?)

The crown of thorns (viewed within the context of God’s grace) becomes a beautiful symbol of His love for us. His love compelled Him to the cross. What they meant for evil, God meant for good. We must see with spiritual eyes if we are to see with God’s perspective. John 19:2 And the soldiers Read More …
