Gabe's Graduation!


We are so beyond proud of Gabe! He recently graduated from his master's program. And not only did Gabe receive his Master's in Counseling from CCU, but he was given the opportunity to address his graduate class (which he did flawlessly), he received an award for most outstanding graduate student, and was an incredible husband and Daddy throughout the entire three years!




Gabe is carrying the counseling flag...




So proud of the speech you delivered, Gabe! 
I am honored to be your wife!








 Owen didn't feel well, but thankfully that meant he slept through the entire ceremony!




Thank you to all our parents for the support you have given us throughout this journey! We are beyond blessed by our family and love you all so much!!

Now we're excited to breathe a little, enjoy the summer and have Gabe home most nights!!  It's been a journey!

Great job, GABE!!

Deep Waters: God's Invitation To Go Deeper

Gabe's book is now available!!
If you're looking for a great inspiring read and want to be challenged, this is the book for you! 
It's available through the link at the bottom of this post, or on Amazon !

Also, if you're interested in reading the first chapter, head over to Gabe's BLOG. 


 God is inviting each of us into deeper spiritual waters. He beckons us to leave the comfort and “safety” of shallow water behind in order to experience the life we were created for. As we possess the courage to follow Jesus, He’ll surely lead us into “deep water”: the deep water of the Heavenly Father’s heart, the deep water of our individual hearts, and the deep and living water of the Holy Spirit. The result will be a deeper, more fulfilling relationship with God and a greater understanding of our identity as His sons and daughters.

What others have said:

“Get ready for a ride. Gabe takes you into the heart of God. It’s vast, real and worth the journey.”

“Gabe Jenkins shows spiritual maturity beyond his years in his book, Deep Waters. This is a calling toward deep relationship and spiritual awareness. Gabe takes his readers on an authentic journey to the more that God has for us in terms of an intimate relationship with Jesus, the deep waters of God’s heart, deep waters of our own hearts, and the deep living waters of the Holy Spirit. It is a must-read for those seeking to provide Christian counsel and spiritual direction. His book is both thought and heart-provoking for those who dare to take the journey toward deep heart and soul living of experiential Christianity. His book is a treasure to read, and it will provide rich nuggets for those who desire and seek after God.”
Dale A. Piper, Psy.D.

“I am thrilled that Gabe wrote this book! He is one of the finest young leaders I know and this book will be a huge blessing to everyone who wants to journey into the Deep Waters.”

Avery's Graduation

Avery graduated from pre-school! We are so proud of our little graduate and can hardly believe she'll be starting kindergarten in the fall! She's growing up way too fast, but we're excited to watch her start kindergarten very soon!







Here she is standing in front of her soon to be elementary school! I recently had to take her in for kindergarten screening. She loved seeing her school!

New Journey!

This has been a big year so far for us! One of the major changes our family is excited about is Gabe's new position at the church as a Men's pastor. He has served in children's ministry for the past 8 years, specifically leading the 5th and 6th graders. I also worked as one of the volunteer coordinators in Base56. Gabe felt a calling many years back into Men's ministry, but we are just now seeing it come to fruition. I couldn't be more thrilled for Gabe and our family! He will be thriving in what he does best! Connecting, teaching, leading and counseling men. And we will finally for the first time since we got married about 7 years ago be able to go to church together on a regular basis. 

We miss the Base56 students and the wonderful volunteers that served alongside us, but I believe this season is going to be so rich and healthy for all of us! 

I'm beyond proud of how well Gabe led the Base56 students for so many years! Well done, Gabe!

Our last morning in Base56...




 We just had to laugh...his name was misspelled on his own farewell cake!
