The Journey

"And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19

We are so thankful and amazed at how God provides. He really knows our needs way more than we can comprehend. Our family's goal is to continually seek out His will for our lives, making decisions to honor that. So how did we get here? After meeting in college we got married and settled in central WI. Ryan got a job in forestry, I did freelance graphic design work and shortly after that was pregnant with our twins. We lived there for 2 years, then were led to help with my family's business in South Eastern WI. We lived there for 3 years (had our 3rd son), loved being close to family and help with the business, but realized soon enough Ryan wasn't made to do computer/desk work. We believe God used this time in our lives to grow spiritually, have patience, fully trust in Him, and gain an interest and educate ourselves a bit for what we're "trying" to do now. So after much prayer, Bible reading and messages we felt God again had opened a door and was leading us now to the northwoods. Ryan is back working in the field God gave him a strong passion for, forestry. And our family is able to start our dream of living from what He has created and provided for us.

So, now here we are... at "The Coop". Ryan's parents did the same thing we're doing with Glory Acres 5 years ago, (only they had much more junk to go through). We're BLESSED to be able to stay here while we sold our home and are now fixing up Glory.
