all in a years time…

It’s crazy that this past Saturday was the one year mark for being at home in America. I can’t believe it’s been a year! I really, really can’t. Oddly enough (they say it takes as long as you are away to reacclimate yourself again to culture) and my, I’d have to agree! About 3 weeks [...]

my famous family

My dad has made it on the news several times (although I can’t find one of those links now – but I will continue to search, for the sake of posting).

You can see the article here. But also, [...]

alone. not alone?

I’ve been alone all day. It’s been good, different- really. Refreshing to be alone with just my thoughts, to take a nap in the middle of the day, to go to the grocery store in spend as much time as I’d like there. To meander through Target on my own clock. To play with my [...]

This weekend picked up speed in wedding planning land, Jeremy pitched in big time fielding (please notice [...]

a study on gentleness

I’m doing a study on gentleness with a friend and I’m 3 days in – and already I’m very convicted and in need of change. In need of Jesus to rapture my soul.
Here’s a few questions that this book asks of me:
1. Are you approachable? If not, what keeps others at a distance? If so, [...]

movement building

I suppose that word “movement” has been deeply engrained in me, maybe because of my history with an organization that mentions this word quite frequently.
I saw this post on Carlos Whittaker’s blog about 7 keys to movement building. I’d like to share it here.

when you dig, dig deep

I feel as if those “call before you dig” signs could apply here.

It’s interesting what happens once you get started and realize that God has a lot of things in store for us. He’s more interested in the deep heart work and the continual than the temporary and uncomfortable. To me, my life so far [...]
