Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, Praise God we know where you are. Up above the world so high, Jesus held your hand as we said goodbye. We love you dearly little angel!

Markers, monuments, and memorials…

As we moved through the process of finding a marker that would reflect Kristen’s life, faith, and personality, we noticed the various names that were used to describe them. Although the difference is subtle, we see this object as a marker for the place where Kristen’s shell was laid to rest. We believe that her Read More …

Radiating God’s Love

A little part of Kristen’s journal for our Hawaii friends. You helped her grow her faith beyond what we could as her parents. Seeing her peers “radiating” love for and from Jesus was a powerful testimony. – – – “I sin every day & I am fully aware of what I do, but I call 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.

Linville River Log Cabins

We could use a little extra prayer over the next few weeks. Fall has been our favorite time to get away as a family and enjoy some time in the NC mountains. Kristen loved to spend time in the mountains and she especially liked staying at her Uncle Shane’s log cabins. This was her favorite Read More …

This is what God blessed me with during my evening walk this past Thursday. I have had a few heavy days as we try to plan a little fall getaway to the mountains. Fall is our favorite family time and Kristen loved to stay at Uncle Shane’s cabins. As I walked, I was enjoying watching Read More …

Death has no power over me. I have not ceased to exist. I have just moved into my new home with Jesus. I am still alive. I am actually more alive now than I have ever been. I am still me. My spirit lives on even though my body has been laid to rest. When Read More …
