Yes, that’s me trying to look fly but feeling alone, confused, and depressed at 19. I arrived at Elmendorf Air Force Base, in Anchorage, AK on April 24th, 2008. I knew no one and I was far from home. I had made some very poor decisions during my training… like really bad-stupid choices. Needless to... Continue Reading →
Hey all, long time since I posted. (Whoops, this last year got away from me.) I'm in my third and final year of seminary. Lord willing, I will graduate in May, go to Army Chaplain school in South Carolina all summer, and then we will move on to what is next. With the direction God... Continue Reading →
With the summer gone like a speeding freight train, the new school year begins here at MBTS. My family and I were out of pocket the past three months (something I will write more on later after I've had more time to reflect) but now that we have returned to Kansas City, it's back to the...

I have officially completed two full semesters of my seminary education and I have loved almost every minute of it. Greek is really hard ya’ll. Worth it, but really hard. So to say I’ve loved every minute of memorizing hundreds of words and grammar rules would be a lie. Anyways… 8 classed down, only 19... Continue Reading →
Sometimes the only thing we can plan on is that God has different plans than our plans. Has this been your experience? It has been mine time and time again. Here's what sweet though, at least in my experience: God's plans are ALWAYS better than mine. I had plans this summer to take 15hrs of... Continue Reading →
Warning: You may disagree with what I write and may even have not-so-nice feelings towards me after reading it. Full disclosure, I’m okay with that.
Leaving the military and entering civilian life was a terrifying transition for us. I mean, we were leaving everything we had known for the past 8 years: a job I was mostly good at, a nice steady pay check, and familiarity. We were leaving all of that for the life of a full student, not... Continue Reading →
A second semester of seminary at MBTS has kicked off and will be far different than the first. For starters, our family added Judah John into the mix on January 14th. Hannah and Judah are doing incredibly well. By God's grace, I would say that this has been the best experience we've had having a new baby.... Continue Reading →
Let's face it, 2016 will certainly not be the year I finally get 6 pack abs. "Past-Gabriel" has let me down too many times and I've learned from history that I simply like double stuffed Oreos too much to have a stomach Hannah can wash the laundry on. Not that she cares anyways. 2016 will... Continue Reading →
Thousands of pages read? Check. Over 200 new words in a new language memorized? Check. (Not to mention a lot of new grammar rules too.) Multiple papers written? Check. Finals completed? Check. Whew, it feels good to be on the other side of my first semester here at MBTS. I sit here amazed at... Continue Reading →
