Evidence of Things Unseen

Published on August 8, 2017August 8, 2017 by Niki

Faith. Yes, it’s a belief and, yes, it’s a hope. But it’s so much more! Faith has a sort of substance to it. It doesn’t stay silent and it can’t remain hidden. Faith can’t help but expose the heart from which it flows, leaving behind evidence … of things unseen…

Hoping Against Hope

Published on January 19, 2017January 20, 2017 by Niki

Unexpected results, unforeseen circumstances, and worst-case scenarios can sometimes leave us feeling numb and confused. Finding the courage to express our desires to the Lord and the faith to believe in the impossible is a difficult but mature step in our faith in Christ.

A middle of the night phone call could only mean one thing… Out of this unforgettable experience came three keys for finding strength in life’s most difficult seasons.

When Plans Fail

2014 ~ A Year of Blessing

Published on January 23, 2015June 4, 2016 by Niki

It seems weird to label one particular year a “year of blessing” because quite honestly we have been blessed again and again undeservedly, even in seasons of felt difficulty and trial. But this year felt exceptionally unique in its blessedness! 2014 began with a trip to Florida to be with family and ended with […]

There is something uniquely special about a baby’s due date. You talk about it for 9 months… you dream about what it will be like when that day finally comes… you plan for it in every way possible beforehand! August 4th. That was Trek’s due date, and as I sit here today on August 4th […]

There is a song called Elliana’s Song by Watermark that Niki has liked for a while now and I thought it would be fitting to put Elli’s first couple days to it. My ulterior motive was to see if I could make Niki cry watching the video and I’m happy to say that it worked […]

The Big Day Comes To A Close

Wow, what a perfect day! We are wiped out but so excited. It is so fun doing this all over again but this time knowing what’s going on. We’ve had two diaper changes, one outfit change because of some spit up and two sneezes. (Down 10 sneezes from Nya’s first day.) And after Niki’s three […]

Its been 3 hours and everything’s great. Elli got a bath and nursed, Niki and I both ate and now it’s time to get some much needed rest. Looks like we’ll be in the hospital until tomorrow evening so feel free to stop by later.
