The End and the Beginning Lately I’ve been feeling anxious. Not the fearful kind of anxiety but the hopeful. I feel like our family is standing on the precipice of our future but with no clear view or knowledge of what it holds. Last week was Eddie’s last day of academic classes here at ACU. It’s joyful because it means we made it. Our family survived two years of intense schooling and compiled tons of student debt. As grueling as that may sound for some, I can honestly look around and be truly thankful and dare I say richly blessed … Continue reading Trusting in His Promises

A year has passed, rather quickly, since we moved here to Abilene. A rollercoaster of emotions, trials, blessings and challenges that have weaved us through these past months causing us to lean in to our faith and each other, more than ever before. Before we set our hearts and minds on Abilene, we spent much of our time dreaming of a life in Colorado.

We’ve have been honored … Continue reading Reaching for the Cleft of the Rock

May you be blessed with the spirit of the season, which is peace. The gladness of the season, which is hope.

Overall, we have a lot to praise God for. Slowly but surely we are beginning to feel at home in this small (no traffic!) town. After we moved, Eddie spent the next 6 weeks in … Continue reading Boyer’s Christmas News

May no fear or hope ever make me false in act or speech; cast out from me whatsoever loves or makes a lie, and bring me into the perfect freedom of your truth, through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Brooke Foss Westcott The wind is gusting so powerfully that I’m struggling to stand straight as I follow behind our line of hikers weaving our way to the … Continue reading Freedom on the Trail

We are in the waiting…the hard and silent wait. The long, long months (even years) after hearing the promise of the Lord over our future. Yet, we are now having to walk through the desert to get there, or sometimes stay exactly where we are (which can be even more difficult). Like Abram and Sarai being called to a new land, to the unknown, into the trust. To trust the Lord with all we have. To fully rely on His plan and not our own. To start walking in faith, into the wilderness and entwining our future in the spoken promise … Continue reading This is just the beginning…
