I am daily discovering the depth of my sin and my desperate need of His Grace. I am a wife, a mama, a friend, a daughter, a sister, a doula and a homemaker. My husband practically forced me to start a blog but I am kind of enjoying it. Kind of. I mostly am writing to share our experiences and keep in touch with family, friends and (former) coworkers as we live and work overseas. I hope to be an encouragement and I hope you will stay in touch and stay connected.
We are about to begin our 4th year in full time ministry in Korea. It feels unreal that we are finishing up our original commitment of 3 years. This is when we promised we would pack up and "move home." (I had told Steve we were moving back as soon as our 3 years were up).Well, a lot has changed and the Lord has done a lot of refining the past few years.
This is the {Crazy!} life we live! Join us?
********************************
The Original "About Us"
(featuring lots of old pictures and a walk down memory lane)
We are a little family of three (Steve, Caleb and me) upheld by God's grace alone. I'm a sinner in need of His Grace, a wife, a mama, a friend, a daughter, a sister and a homemaker. My husband practically forced me to start a blog but I am kind of enjoying it. Kind of. I mostly am writing to share our experiences and keep in touch with family, friends and (former) coworkers as we live and work overseas. I hope to be an encouragement and I hope you will stay in touch and stay connected. This is the {Crazy!} life we live! Join us?
Steve and I met through a college ministry and through several mutual friends.
We were married on June 6, 2008. It was a happy and beautiful day, surrounded with friends and family!

While going from 2 to 3 has been quite the adjustment, we are enjoying being a family and this precious gift from God that Caleb is to us. Needless to say, we are sleep deprived and having a blast.
When I began this blog, we were in the midst of leaving both our jobs and moving to South Korea, where Steve had accepted a youth pastor position in an English ministry at a local church. We were working on packing our apartment, waiting on our visas, and preparing for this {huge} transition in our lives.
And so the reason for this blog: To keep in touch and update everyone on what is going on in our lives and where we are!
We are now 1.5 years into our life in overseas ministry and our adventure continues as we daily learn more about cross-cultural living, the complex country of South Korea, the inner workings of Church and ministry life, how to live a life surrendered and dedicated to the Lord, how to fight for humility and grace, how to give thanks continually and live a life of praise, and as we seek the Lord in adding to our little family of three through the means of adoption.
Our life often feels like one big adventure but I'm not sure we would have it any other way.
