Time flies..

I just realized today that I leave next Thursday. In case you haven't noticed, that's only a week and a half away. Wow. Sometimes I feel like I've been back in America for a long time, yet other times I feel like I just got here. Crazy.

I'm heading back to Houston today (for the 3rd time in about a week!). A week ago, my cousin Steph got married. We had a great time with family all weekend! We even celebrated with my mom, sister, grandmother, aunt, and cousins. Super fun!





































I was able to speak at my mom and dad's church today. It was great to go with them and see the faces of their congregation again. I loved being able to see the people they live life with every week. They are both involved in leadership within the church and that's inspiring to me. They aren't just going to the church and leaving, but they are living life with these people--helping to make the decisions that structure the church. It's an incredibly humbling feeling to stand in front of their church as a representative of the movement God has been doing in Zambia. I continue to pray that more and more of them will join Camp LIFE and come for the summer!


We are doing a girls trip down to San Marcus with Mom, Jen, Kyla, Meme, and me! We are super excited to get a few days with just the girls! I'm so thankful the Lord has provided this time with my family!

Time is flying! I'll be back in Zambia before I can blink! Crazy crazy!

Man Does Not Live On Bread Alone

Theme Verse for February: "Man does not live by bread along, but man lives by ever word that comes from the mouth of the Lord." Duet. 8:3 Oh man. So much has happened in February. And since it's been almost an entire month since I've blogged, I have quite a bit to share. Summary? The Lord is GOOD. I have seen His hand in so many events in my life, it's been unreal. He has swooped in time and time again, and it's beautiful and completely humbling. I hope as you read my journal entries, you are moved and shaken by the Lord's presence. I pray that God would open your eyes, and expose himself to you in a new and challenging way. Rest in him my dear friends. He is our comfort, he is our strength, he is our refuge. He is Lord, and our Lord is beautiful. February 12th Today has been an amazing day. My roommates and I woke up, went to church, was filled with the Spirit, went to the market, and came home to clean and set up more furniture in the house. Ou...

Behold, I will send you Elijah...

I have an amazing story to tell you about a little boy. He turned 4 years old this week. He is a sweet, smart, and precious boy who is already displaying the Lord's glory. When he was about a year and 6 months old, he was admitted into the hospital because of malnutrition and abandonment.   An  orphanage stepped in to care for him when no one else could. Overtime, all his friends and the housemothers knew him as a joyful boy—even though his circumstances did not seem joyful.   Although he lived in an orphanage and was taken care of, he didn't have the one-on-one parenting, love, and support he should have had by his birth parents.   He stayed in the orphanage for almost 2 years. During this time, not one family member visited him. I had the pleasure of meeting this sweet boy when I visited an orphanage one weekend in January. He was the happiest one of them all.   He ran and played with a huge smile on his face.   His personality and ...

To Spare.

This morning Eli slept until 10:20.  A record. Sure he was up until 11 last night, but the fact that the small ounce of sun that trickled through the blackout curtains did not bother him is a miracle :). Unlike him, I awoke this morning delighted. Delighted because for once this summer, I woke up before him. I immediately got in the word and just rested with my coffee, with the quiet of the house, and with the presence of my King resting with me. After some much needed journalling and sitting quiet before his throne, I approached the Word. I've been reading in 1 Samuel about David and Saul.  I'm in chapter 24 today. David has run many times to get away from Saul.  At this specific moment in the Word, David has taken refuge in a cave in the Desert of En Gedi. Saul, in pursuit of David, came to the same cave without realizing David and his men were in there. He went in alone and David had an opportunity to kill him.  His men even said, "This is the day the LORD spo...
