Living in Orlando this past year has been a true gift. This is where we made many dear friends, enjoyed beautiful weather, frequented the beach and welcomed our precious son into the world. And it is with heavy hearts that we will have to say goodbye (or I prefer, see you later!). Matt recently received […]

If you had asked me (Leah) one year ago how 2018 would play out, I would have missed the mark by a long shot. The year brought many joys, big changes and unfortunately the loss of two wonderful men in our lives. The year taught us that no matter what our “plans” are, God is in control, and His […]
“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” Prov. 16:9 The Lord has opened an exciting new door for our family. Matt recently accepted a position with Cru – Campus Crusade for Christ International. On May 26, we uprooted ourselves from Louisville and made the venture south to our new home in Orlando, Florida. […]
We trekked 13 hours to and from Texas this past week. I’ll admit, it was EXHAUSTING, but in a good way. It’s perfectly justifiable to be exhausted on vacation when it means you’re bouncing from city to city seeing family and friends. We even got to meet my precious new niece, Audrey Lynn! We had […]
The holiday season is upon us once again, and we want you to know that we are very grateful for you taking a moment to step into our lives. This past year has been challenging in a number of ways, but we are continuously reminded of God’s incredible blessings. Work, Study, Sleep, Repeat Matt has […]
May 23 marked the second anniversary of our marriage. Whew, that came fast! It feels like just yesterday I was challenging the cute, blonde worship leader in ping pong at the Baptist Student Ministry and wondering “what if?” Shortly after celebrating our first year of marriage, which I reflected on around this time last year, we […]
In June, we packed a trailer and set off for the great state of Kentucky with a lot of uncertainty but a great deal of faith. Five months later, we still have some uncertainty but the faith remains. I cannot possibly recount everything from the past five months, and I would rather not bore […]
As I sit at our kitchen table (a card table we prettied up with place mats and flowers) with my husband working diligently at his home office desk in the room next door, I cannot help but praise the Lord for where we are. “We we are” is in our new townhouse in Louisville, Kentucky, […]
Whew! We made it. We survived the first year of marriage, the year countless people told us would be “the hardest year of marriage.” Sure it wasn’t always easy, but I would say getting to spend this year with my husband by my side made it the best year of my life so far. […]
For months we have been asking the Lord, “What’s next?” Matt was set to graduate from Dallas Baptist University with his Master’s degree in theological studies (and he did on May 13, with all A’s!), and it was clear he wanted to study more. So, we began researching seminaries last year. It seemed as though we […]
