K-Love Fan Awards

Momma and I decided it was probably best for us to have a little trip of our own as the rest of the family left for the Appalachian Trail- you know, maybe to help ease the good-bye pains a little bit. The K-Love Fan awards was the perfect mother-daughter trip, too. We had a blast; there was always something going on for you to get into. I think we saw over 30 live bands? The speakers were great, and time was well-spent. Mom even participated in her first 5k run! I was so proud..and how fitting that the run benefit was the children of Haiti:)

Same Gospel, One Mission, Different Places

Departing ways for the summer from hearts of iron and love. Oh, how I will miss them- but He is enough for us.
Elisabeth Elliot & Amy Carmichael-

"Missionary work is a grain of sand, the work untouched is a pyramid...face it. Look and listen, alone with God. But never, never, never, think that anything short of this is being 'interested' in missions. Never, until this point is reached and passed, delude yourself into believing you care at all... She brought her friends, girlfriends, and cousins at home to consider the cry and the call, to welcome all tests of whatever sort before they crossed the seas, and to learn to die to self in any shape or form. experience had quickly taught her that she could not survive the storms without the anchor of the constraining love of Christ and what she called the "Rock consciousness of the promise given to her."

  He goeth before.
