Touch Down! Home!
I can remember watching on our cell phone the progress of the plane making across the world back to Chicago. I will NEVER forget seeing that little blue plane on the screen show it had landed and she was back on US soil. Then within an hour I got a text, we are in Chicago and eating. Talk about relief, …

Another Week!
Another week has gone by and we are still at it. When doing SHAPE make sure that you log not only what you eat and your daily weight but from time to time look at why you are doing it. What made you start the program to start with. Are you: Trying to loose weight? Control Diabetes? Get your blood …

Releasing Her into God’s Hands
I will never forget that hug goodbye, her wave and then her text that they were boarding. Then a few hours later the text again that they were boarding the plane in Chicago and it would be a long flight through the night. I think I was awake most of the time she was in the air praying that God’s …

First Month Reached
Today marks a full month since we began our journey. We have had our ups and downs and at times wondered if it was worth it, but God reminds us at those low points that we have a goal and with His help we can reach it. If someone has told you eating healthy is cheaper, don’t believe it!!! It …

God Calls in Different Ways
This is my first post about what it is like to be the mother of a teen missionary. I will never forget the day that I heard the words come from our 15 yr old daughter, “Mother I know what I want to do!” We were at the annual SHEM convention for homeschoolers and I was sitting at our booth. …
