After several summers of being blessed with many traveling opportunities, I stayed close to home this year. This summer is instead a chance for me to serve within my local community and stand in awe of the One who lovingly sends out His children to the ends of the earth. And yet I did travel. Although I didn't physically leave the confines of the United States, this summer was in fact a summer of spiritual traveling. Through one of my favorite families, I was blessed to see how women in the middle east welcome their guests into their homes. I was blessed to see a sister of mine find healing through the touch of beautiful little children. I was blessed to hear the beginnings of an extensively planned stay in Bulgaria finally come into fruition. I was blessed to see a sister return and serve the orphanage where she last left her heart. I was blessed to see a team fly out to Japan to comfort those long forgotten after the earthquake. I was blessed to see a mother and daughter serve motherless children in Africa as well as a brother carry the Word to college campuses in Turkey.

What a beautiful body of Christ these brothers and sisters have displayed to me this summer. God, you are good. Be lifted High here in this place. All over the world. Let your name be known. Be glorified.
