If you have been keeping up with us lately, you have probably heard the term “business sponsorships.” I want to go into a little more detail about why we are doing this and what it will look like long-term. I also want to give credit to the person who came up with this idea, Jennifer […]
As Jess and I finished up reading through the Bible in a year chronologically, 1 John 2:6 was one of those verses that just kind of startled me. I was up reading it pretty late one night, and it was one of those “wake you up and make you pay attention” type moments that you […]
If you remember from our previous post, Friday was such a long day that we had to break it up into 2 parts! If you missed “Moving In Day 2 (Part 1)” please click on the link to read it or this blog will not make any sense! I will pick up right where I […]
Hopefully you read the blog “Moving In Day 1” and got a sense of how Thursday was as we moved our kids into their new homes. It was really one of the craziest days I can remember ever having, and I was looking forward to Friday and being able to do some troubleshooting with Gina […]
Yesterday (This was actually Thursday, but to go along with everything else, my internet stopped working Thursday morning!) was move-in day! It was a very crazy day, but the kids are in their new home and we are one step closer to having our rental house ready for when Jess and Sophie come down. I […]
Since Part 1 ended where we were last Tuesday with 4 rental options, I thought I would list them here and then tell you why they either would or would not work well. If you missed part 1, this probably does not make sense so click here to read it and get caught up. Anyway, […]
As you probably know, this past week was a busy week of making final decisions about where we would move our kids. It looks like we will be moving them on Wednesday or Thursday of this week and we are all very excited about it! There are some difficult things that we will have to […]
I am sitting here thinking about how crazy the past week has been and I just realized that it has been exactly one week since I arrived back in Haiti. That means it has been 1 week since I have seen my wife and daughter, 1 week since I began firming up plans for which houses […]
I know there have been a lot of posts with similar titles lately, but the truth is I am just not that creative. I am just sitting in the JAX airport at 5:30 this morning waiting for my flight to board and I wanted to put up a blog post about the trip and about […]
I started this blog while I was sitting in the Fort Lauderdale airport and I am now finishing it as I sit waiting at jury duty in Jacksonville. I was basically finished with it in Fort Lauderdale when the airport lost wifi. That is not that big of a deal, usually I just copy and […]
I know it is almost February, but we are having our All Things New Christmas party tomorrow! Now, before I get started with the rest of the blog, I want to make sure everyone is aware of the 2 fundraising initiatives we have recently begun as we target different audiences with each. A sponsorship drive. […]
Many of you have received the latest All Things New email informing you that we will no longer be staying on the Hope Rising campus. If you did not receive that email, please click here to read prior to reading the blog. Initially, we knew that our time at Hope Rising could be temporary. They […]
