This Mother’s Day—I want to pay tribute to my family! I am the wife and Mom that I am today because of them! Chris, my wonderful husband, has been so patient with me the last 11 years! He has had to put up with my weird antics and my mood changes (Frequent changes)! Not only do I consider this man to be an amazing husband, but he has been and still is,  such a wonderful best friend! I love him and even like him! I love spending time with him, even if it is just watching the news! He makes me laugh even though hisRead More →

 On my last post, I wrote about praying this prayer: “If all this STUFF, the hard stuff, the things that kind of really rocks my thinking and challenges my faith. If all of this is happening just so You can get my attention, to draw me closer to You, to know Who You are and what You are able to do in me, to show me You are real so that I can tell others about You and Your Faithfulness—then, LET IT BE! Do what You need to, so that people will see You through the way I react, the way I praise, the wayRead More →

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:11-13 “Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.” Jeremiah 33:3 “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in theRead More →

On our way back to Maine from my trip to Va for a weekend, Gabbi got really sick, I mean diarrhea sick. I know too much info! So, I had gone in after my friend said Gabbi had an accident. It was not pretty nor did it smell like roses! 🙂 I asked Gabbi what was wrong and she explained how her stomach was hurting and how she was afraid of getting in trouble for having an accident. I was honestly a bit annoyed inside that this was happening because in my head, I was thinking, “this is going to be a LONG day inRead More →

3 kids and 13 family members in all, lost in the storm… This couple is about our age and have been in the ministry for awhile, their names are Pastor Dante and Dolor Lingo. Pastor Dante and Dolor Lingo now fondly call the Impangs, Tatay and Nanay(A father and mother). Pastor Impang is one of the leaders of a ministerial association in Tacloban and he had a list of pastors that were directly under him. The Lingos are a part of that and when the news of the typhoon was coming, Pastor Impang called the Lingos to seek shelter at his church which was moreRead More →

Pastor Ronald and Marlyn’s Story Marlyn: “The night before the typhoon hit, there was an eerie feeling in the air. It was an intense feeling, like death was coming. It was also very dark outside but there was a calm.  Pastor was outside rebuking the storm that was coming. I was praying inside the house and my kids slept upstairs in the room. Then finally the winds started picking up, the rain started to come.  We asked the kids to come downstairs so we can gather together. We were praying but when the winds and rain kept getting stronger, we could no longer pray. AllRead More →

Many of you all know about our struggle with Zac this past year with sickness and we have been to many specialists that have not provided with any explanation as to why he has been sick. BUT, thankful, that the doctors are looking! I believe he has become a pin cushion the past year. He also stopped growing for about year after he turned 6 months old. His appetite has been very good but it’s like he has hard time absorbing nutrients and has constant diarrhea. He has also had a hard time healing from cuts and bruises…the site gets infected easily. It seems hisRead More →

Dear Family and Friends, I am BEYOND excited to tell you that I have been preparing for my trip to the Philippines! My heart is there and I wish that Chris and the kids could go with me this time, but right now is not a good time because of Chris’ work. I am so thankful that he has given me full support to join my parents in February to help my Aunt and her ministry, Philippine Gospel Association! I haven’t been back to the Philippines since 2001 when I met Chris, so I am excited!  At the end of January, I will be takingRead More →

Two comments that I have let rule my life the past few years: “You are not fit to be in this Pre-Med program, you need to look for something else to do.” I took it as something that I was not fit to try new things because I would not succeed. “You are a dreamer who wants to do a lot of things that just is IMPOSSIBLE for you to do.”  This really put a damper on my ability to dream about things. I went into college with high hopes of being in the pre-med program so I could be a doctor one day likeRead More →
