JULY 3rd WILL BE HERE BEFORE I KNOW IT.
where has the time gone?
i have spent the last 8 months of my life, after i became seriously at peace with moving, preparing for this adventure.
i have devoted much time to raising money.
i have invested and been invested in.
with your help i have raised $8,700 i am so thankful.
i am now more at peace than ever before that "for such a time as this"...
i am called to live and make community and serve in sydney, australia.
there really could be worse places..... ; )
5 of my favorite memories of the last 8 month season of my life in no particular order...
these precious girls are one of a kind.
(this picture is missing brynne.)
what an honor to invest in these girls lives.
they make me better.
and teach me more about Jesus.
and loving others and family and friends.
and.. and.. and..
this trip to drumright, usa.
the winery, the friendship, the swings.
the laughter, the drive.
just a great time.
february 2010. you were good.
the zumba missions fundraiser.
overall such a successful and fun night.
i have been changed by every single one of those zumba ladies.
and i love dancing...so why not?
the liberty fundraiser benefit concert.
such a special time.
i felt so loved and cared for.
we raised 3,000 dollars in one night.
that. is. incredible.
this will be one of my fondest memories forever.
being able to be a part of new life.
met so many wonderful people.
grew up some.
working at a hospital...
most rewarding experience.
and now... makin' more memories.
i am learning to be faithful in the little things; in the small beginnings.
i am understanding more what that means too-- to be faithful.
and tonight...i think it simply means to be content in the place you are at.
invest in those around you.
invest at your job, at your doctor's office, at your coffee shop,
at your medical spa, at your church, with the people around you, in your community.
love and talk to those around you.
tonight, i am humbled and grateful to love and be so loved.
