Seeking above all else to Glorify God by passionately seeking His face, being filled by His Spirit and wholeheartedly desiring to Know Him and Make Him Known!Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00850667184903599238noreply@blogger.comBlogger8125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341775859278016509.post-45368660346455247632010-05-24T07:10:00.001-07:002010-05-25T12:44:43.217-07:00Member Care ExplainedWhat do you think of when you hear the word “missionary?” Many of us may think of historical people who have borne the title such as Lottie Moon or William Carey. Others may think of someone that they know personally who has chosen to lay down their comfortable American life and follow Jesus to the “ends of the earth”—choosing to live in a dirt floor hut rather than a brick home in Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00850667184903599238noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341775859278016509.post-50698474462126760942010-05-15T18:55:00.000-07:002010-05-15T18:56:03.723-07:00Reaching OutTonight as I was putting Caden to bed I took some extra time to talk to him about how special he is and how I pray for God to do amazing things in his life. As I finished by telling him how much I loved him he reached out and grabbed my arm. Now, it's not uncommon for Caden to want me to stay with him a few minutes before he falls asleep but I could tell that tonight was different-Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00850667184903599238noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341775859278016509.post-35549462126134029642010-05-13T19:25:00.000-07:002010-05-13T19:39:10.216-07:00The Next StepSo I think it is fair to say that we get an “F” in blogging 101. When we last updated this blog we were a family of four, now we are a family of five. Journey Faith Cook joined our family on February 15, 2010. It is amazing to watch her grow along with Eliana and Caden. Also, when we last updated this blog we were living in New Orleans where I was pursuing my Master of Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00850667184903599238noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341775859278016509.post-10998780561727017622007-11-04T14:17:00.000-08:002008-02-09T19:09:40.191-08:00Beyond HearingOk, so I admit, I am horrible at keeping up with our blog! (in fact, I started the draft for this post so long ago I had to change Caden's age by 3 months!!!! (so while this says November, I am really posting "as of" February 9th!) But, With a 2 year old and a 9 month old, not much gets done beyond survival! But oh has God been working! Since we moved back to New Orleans in May I have been umm Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00850667184903599238noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341775859278016509.post-18694185442243485242007-08-29T11:36:00.000-07:002007-08-29T12:39:53.096-07:002nd Katrina AnniversaryTwo years ago today, who would have know the journey God had for us! Honestly, things are a little weird today, and since blogs are ultimately about rambling, I will do just that. Honestly, I will not try to be eloquent and not even articulate . . . today is an emotional day. Not one in which I will sit in pity or even in tears, but much more of a pensive day. Who would have known August 28thNicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00850667184903599238noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341775859278016509.post-53592749673049702522007-08-28T11:31:00.000-07:002007-08-28T12:13:38.231-07:00Our Hiatus!So, I apologize for our lack of updating! Just when we were beginning to feel settled in New Orleans, the kids and I came on a long trip to Florida. As the fall semester started, we knew it was going to be difficult for Ron to settle into school and internship so we decided the best things would be for me and the kids to give him a few weeks to get settled into the new routine without us there Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00850667184903599238noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341775859278016509.post-54273058740391606662007-06-20T12:16:00.000-07:002007-06-24T11:43:09.889-07:00My WildernessThe other day I was talking to a dear friend and I shared with her my recent spiritual frustrations. I simply said, "I am in the desert, and it's not even a good one!" You know, in the Bible a wilderness experience normally preceeds a visit from the Lord. In my life it has always been the same, God meets me in the desert. The desert times, the dry times are when God can grasp our attention, Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00850667184903599238noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341775859278016509.post-60290224517672157892007-06-15T20:16:00.000-07:002007-06-20T11:58:26.843-07:00Back in NOLA!WOW! Our journey over the last 2 years has been a wild one, one that has brought us full circle. Eliana just turned two, and I calculated the other day that she has lived in at least 6 houses, in three States, two countries, on 2 continents! Being back in New Orleans in bittersweet. As you drive through the city many houses look as though Katrina happened yesterday, while other houses right Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00850667184903599238noreply@blogger.com1
