letting truth from the Lord seep into my heart and mind today...

"I am taking care of you."

"Even now you have access to as much of Me as you have faith to receive. Rejoice in My abundance-- living by faith, not by sight."

"A life lived close to Me is not complicated or cluttered. When your focus is on My presence, many things that once troubled you lose their power over you. Though the world around you is messy and confusing, remember that I have overcome the world. I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have Peace."

-Jesus Calling


I have been challenged lately, over and over, to be thankful. It's so easy to lose sight of what is really valuable when life is busy and when my eyes are on myself and my own issues. I'm learning the difference between the urgent and the important. Thank you, Jesus, for sustaining me and taking care of me and giving me exponentially more than I could ever deserve....

spring time
unexpected and refreshing friendships and conversations
kisses on my cheek from the cutest Ethiopian kids I've ever seen
new jobs for Steve and I
restoration and renewal in the midst of chaos
encouragement from a thousand different directions, just when I need it most


3 more weeks of school, and then a summer full of...
Africa. Nannying. Jesus. Friends. Life. Prayer. Love. Wedding. Adventure.

I trust you, Jesus
