L O N G E R Scrolled way back and found a few mor L O N G E R Scrolled way back and found a few more pictures of Juni 💕 She was such a source of joy in our house! Fun and silliness, comfort and safety, a little light whenever the world got dark - never judging, just present. In Ethan's words yesterday, "This isn't very swag money of you Juni." In reality though, it seems she'd been holding out far longer than we knew. You did so good girl. Thank you for everything. 31.10.2024 #seetheday2024 #numbereddays #treustories #treusintheemeraldisle #juni #juniper #timeandproximity #somuchtobethankfulfor

F U L L A fast but full weekend with our amazing F U L L A fast but full weekend with our amazing friend Chloe (@redeemingarts) who came and taught on what the Bible has to say about prophecy, served with us in worship, and prayed over so many people! There was also a lot of walking in the rain, eating good food, chats, tea drinking, and a ridiculously long bus ride 😅 How generous is our God! So thankful for how He connects and establishes. Until next time! 27.10.2024 #seetheday2024 #numbereddays #treustories #servetogether #timeandproximity #prophecy #treuimagemin #somuchtobethankfulfor
E S C U E L A Yes, we call it escuela here 😁 E S C U E L A Yes, we call it escuela here 😁 Didn't do an official "start of the school year" post, because well, life is full and we just got to it! But actually, this year is a bit different - mostly because it's the last one with both boys homeschooling! This time next year, Silas should be in full time college!! 😳🎉😭🥰 It's a year of more independence in learning for them (gotta build these skills!), more flexibility for studying personal areas of interest, more time for work for Branden and I, and all the intention of savouring this season together. I will always be so incredibly grateful for the Lord's call for us to homeschool. Challenging days? Sure, but it's been a gift through and through! Teach us to number our days Lord... 21.10.2024 #seetheday2024 #numbereddays #treustories #homeschooling #timeandproximity #memoryversetesting #pandahead #teenagersareawesome #somuchtobethankfulfor

P R O X I M I T Y Life and ministry here often lo P R O X I M I T Y Life and ministry here often looks like the house being open, food (always 😅), and a pile of shoes at the front door. The sound of young people or families filling the rooms, chats about nothing and everything, sometimes opening the Word or praying together. Proximity, we're learning, is the way of Jesus. We've put together a short video (thanks to @rickydangerponce!) about all the Lord has us doing in Cork right now. Comment below or send me a message and I'll get it out to you! 13.09.2024 #seetheday2024 #numbereddays #treustories #thehouseisopen #timeandproximity #somuchtobethankfulfor
S E V E N T E E N A chill day at home with gifts S E V E N T E E N A chill day at home with gifts and food and friends! Silas, you're honestly such a cool kid. You give 100% for your people, you're a creative and a leader, funny and genuine, humble enough to be teachable, and strong enough to stand when it would be easier to go with the crowd. It's wild that you're 17, but I can't wait to see what the next season holds! Proud of you and thankful I get to be your Mom 💕 Happy Birthday Si!! 🎉🥳🎉🥳 10.09.2024 #seetheday2024 #numbereddays #treustories #silasdaniel #turning17 #birthdayweek #birthdaysareabigdeal #timeandproximity #somuchtobethankfulfor
W A N D E R Day 4 Last day in London. Today we fo W A N D E R Day 4 Last day in London. Today we followed boys as they wandered and used apps to navigate the city. No real touristy spots (though we did end up crossing the Tower Bridge 4X 😆) Rooftop views, lots of public transport, an underground skatepark, and so much yummy food! Going home tired (I think we walked over 40km in three days 😳) but so thankful. #timeandproximity with this crew will always be my favourite 💕 Tomorrow our guy turns 17. They were right - blink of an eye. But so many more adventures ahead of you Silas!! 09.09.2024 #seetheday2024 #numbereddays #treustories #treusinlondon #timeandproximity #silasdaniel #turning17 #birthdaysareabigdeal #birthdayweek #offsugaragainsoonenough #somuchwalking #somuchtobethankfulfor
K I N G S T O N Day 3 I started planning this tri K I N G S T O N Day 3 I started planning this trip while we were at the DTI conference six weeks ago. While we were there, we shared a campsite with a church called Kingsgate here in the UK. Today we visited them, and it was really sweet to see so many we shared the experience of DTI with! Even more, this Sunday happened to be their DTI youth recap for the church, and they even very graciously allowed Silas and I to serve with worship! Afterwards, a sweet friend named Chloe, who we also met at DTI, took us for Korean food and showed us around Kingston ☺️ Chilling at the hotel now before another day of exploring tomorrow. Such a full trip so far - people make the difference! 08.09.2024 #seetheday2024 #numbereddays #treustories #silasdaniel #turning17 #birthdayweek #birthdaysareabigdeal #timeandproximity #somuchtobethankfulfor
L O N D O N Day 2 of birthday week had us waking L O N D O N Day 2 of birthday week had us waking up to catch the earliest flight to London and walking about 15 km to explore the city! Seeing sights, eating in Chinatown, getting to take in the skyline from a rooftop - but the best part was definitely getting to meet up with friends (and their family!) that Silas has only been able to connect with online for a long time. This boy loves people and #timeandproximity with friends really fills his cup. Today was, as he said, "Next level!" Thank you so much to the Demogena family for your kindness and hospitality - you made the day so special 💕 07.09.2024 #seetheday2024 #numbereddays #treustories #silasdaniel #birthdaysareabigdeal #birthdayweek #turning17 #treusinlondon #timeandproximity #somuchtobethankfulfor
D A Y O N E I'm not sure how Silas is already tu D A Y O N E I'm not sure how Silas is already turning 17, but birthday week is off to a good start! I'm a day behind, but yesterday began with churro pancakes (they were pretty yum!), gifts, and a birthday get together at the skatepark. About 50 of Silas' closest friends made it out to eat key lime pie and hang out! It's the start of Day 2 now and we're sitting in a plane getting ready to head to London. God is so kind, and this boy is worth celebrating! 07.09.2024 #seetheday2024 #numbereddays #treustories #silasdaniel #birthdaysareabigdeal #birthdayweek #turning17 #skateparkbirthdays #thanksforthepizzapropkeisha #somuchtobethankfulfor
T E A C H Pretty proud of this little baby (who's T E A C H Pretty proud of this little baby (who's actually turning 17 next week?? 😳) He and I just tag team taught a workshop on portrait photography to over 100 TY students! Really cool to see him not only implementing concepts he's studied into his own creative work (photography and film), but teaching it to other teens. It's amazing/crazy/fun/such an adventure raising children - especially when they grow into people who you generally like hanging out with and think are incredible! Proud of you Si. Now it's time to start birthday week! 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you to @hollypeters2018 and St. Angela's College for inviting us to be a part of your TY Well-being Day! 05.09.2024 #seetheday2024 #numbereddays #treustories #silasdaniel #teenagersareawesome #learningwithfotofinch #teachingphotography #somuchtobethankfulfor
P A R T N E R One of the coolest things we get to P A R T N E R One of the coolest things we get to do as a ministry is partner with churches, people, and organisations in serving the wider Church here in Cork and beyond! So much fun this past weekend being with the kids and families of @nationschurch.cork as they celebrated their first birthday as a church! Worship, puppetry, object lesson, games - all learning about what it means to be in God's family!

A stony beach, a bonfire and s'mores! Pray for these guys as they head into another school year - the Lord has good in store! 23.08.2024 #seetheday2024 #numbereddays #treustories #teenagersareawesome #treuimagemin #irelandyoustunner #somuchtobethankfulfor

Just comment below or private message with your physical and email addresses, and we'll get them out to you!

W A L L S It's incredible to see what someone can W A L L S It's incredible to see what someone can do with cans of spray paint and a wall. So simple but so much potential in the hands of an artist. We are made in the image of the Creator and so we are each made to create! Whether that's a gorgeous meal, a piece of pottery, a well organised spreadsheet, or a mural on a concrete wall - to envision, craft, and bring about something where there was nothing - this is part of how we image the God who made us! Pretty sweet getting to see one of our boys in his element, connecting and learning, inspiration stirring! Thanks @waterfordwalls for a great festival 19.08.2024 #seetheday2024 #numbereddays #treustories #timeandproximity #somuchtobethankfulfor
