A Month in the Life

I am excited to give a glimpse of our family life to our extended 90&9 family! During our recent, life changing adventures on ABC’s Wife Swap, we enjoyed sharing our stories with you, and are glad to be joining up again for this month as bloggers.


‘Who am I that you are mindful of me?’ is the real question.

I am a 4th generation Pentecostal with roots that go deeply in the organization of the UPCI. My parents, grandparents and great grandparents have helped to shape our organization in America and abroad. I am overjoyed that God didn’t stop with them, but is still using us as we link into the next generation. We are active in our church, Harvest Tabernacle of Lebanon, Mo. I serve on the church leadership committee, and assist with music as choir director. I also direct the annual Easter Drama. (BTW Steve is the meanest Pharisee you ever saw!)

The joys in life are my children (introduced by Steve), my husband and my home. Ten years ago we bought a 100 year old Victorian home, and while it remains a work in progress, we have it mostly refurbished. I’m not much for buying a new pair of shoes or the latest trend of clothing, but if you put me in a store full of hand carved furniture I’m in heaven! My home is full of these graven images.

I home school my three girls and am very proud of their learning achievements - I have a 3 year old that can read any short vowel word! They are involved in Bible Quizzing (Emily’s team will be going to nationals later this month), Girl Scouts, Soccer (we’re having a revival among soccer moms), T-ball, home school group, and their local library summer reading program.

I am a Registered Nurse working the last 6 years of my career in Pediatrics. After years of listening to Dr Laura’s http://www.drlaura.com/ radio program, and through the support of my husband, I decided to become a stay-at-home mom. It’s not always the easiest, or the greatest choice financially, but I think it is God’s will for a mother with young children. I’m sure you’ll hear more about that later this month.

We are excited to share our, sometimes uneventful daily routines, why being participants in the television show Wife Swap has changed our lives, and how God is continuing to amaze us.

Stay Tuned, Kristin
