family.

family(fm-l, fml)  :  
{two or more people who share goals and values, have long-term commitments to one another, and reside usually in the same dwelling place}

my YWAM fam have seen me at my best...


been there to celebrate with me...


and have encouraged me to be fully me.


i have been blessed beyond words by the family God has given me.  no one and nothing can replace the crazy amazing people i have had my whole life but during this season away from my family at home, He has definitely provided.  looking forward to the day that i can quit saying goodbye to people and celebrate at the biggest family reunion EVER with Jesus.

 i think my heart has had to grow a couple sizes to fit everyone in there...


miss you all SO much.

no place i would rather be.



this song has been playing over and over in my head for days now and throughout the whole transition of saying goodbye to South Africa and my team.  as much as my heart aches to be with my family at home and my new YWAM family who is now scattered around the world, i want this to be my heart's anthem.

no place i would rather be
than here in your love
set a fire down in my soul
that i can't contain
that i can't control
i want more of you God

taking a deep breath...

in my heart it feels like this...


...but i'm actually in a completely different climate on the opposite of the world.

hello paris!  God has blessed me with a couple of weeks of rest and relaxation in this beautiful city.  after being in belize and south africa for the past five months at warp speed, it's amazing to be able to take a deep breath and reflect on the beauty that has happened within my heart.  so similar to the awe and wonder that comes with the sunrise...this is just the beginning.

what today and tomorrow will bring is still unknown, just as it always has been.  the difference now is that i used to always have a plan.  no details are established yet on what the next few weeks and months will look like.  no plane tickets have been purchased and the only thing i'm certain of is that God has called me to go on an {adventure} with Him.
