All out bursts of laughter…softened heart by sweet words….conviction brought on by profounds sayings…. All from the mouths of babes… my babes. And if I don’t record it fast, despite it’s dearness to my heart, it will flit away.  Carried off by this absent minded-mother’s tidal wave of to-do’s, and appointments, and people’s needs that […]

Danny wrote a special letter to our new son… It explains the meaning of his name and reminds us of the glorious life we have in Christ! Dear son, I write this to you with great joy in my heart at your birth on 4/12/12. You have come into a fallen world as a covenant […]

This year we had every excuse in the book not to do it. We had tons of family coming into town for the holidays. We already would have a full house. I’m pregnant (and tired!) with baby #5. We have four little rascals running around. We already have one international student living with us. Money’s […]

Here’s some of what we’ve been doing the past two weeks. SUCH a treat to be with all the stateside Iversons for Christmas…but we missed those that are serving the Lord on different continents!  More updates to come!

I just had to swing by Winn-Dixie really quick after church and then I was gonna get the kids fed and down for naps so that I could get a good “Sabbath rest” in aka, read a good book, go for a run, and have time with Danny.  As I pulled out of the parking […]

On Friday morning at 11:30 our family was reunited again, after Danny/Daddy had been gone for 12 days.  The Lord upheld both he and us on the homefront in amazing ways.  Thank you to everyone who prayed for us and for this trip.  Those prayers were definitely felt, as the Lord carried us through that […]

As I walked around the table talking to kids during summer camp I was amazed at the feeling of family I felt. There was so much joy in the room, such unity and order.  Our kids are changing for the better.  I am witnessing the amazing fruit of the Gospel seeds that have been planted […]

On November 21st Daniel Josiah turned three years old. We celebrated as a family by going to Jeepers, an arcade/play place for kids.  Daniel Josiah likes it because he gets to ride the “motorcycles” and a little train that runs around the track.  On November 23rd we had a party for him with all of […]

As I slowly stood to my feet, jaw aching with pain, I didn’t know what to think.  Part of me felt so confused, a bit scared and doubtful, but another part of me felt alive with compassion and fresh love for the man hitting me.  I couldn’t believe this was actually happening and I couldn’t […]

Over a month ago we started hosting “Family Dinner” every Wednesday night at our church, where we would feed all of our after school program kids and their parents who came to pick them up, as well as anyone else who would like to join us. We have realized what an impact eating together can […]
