Food for Thought


The most profound essence of my nature is that I am capable of receiving God.

Blessed sisters



Washington DC, Kentucky, Missouri,
Tennessee, and Pennsylvania.
It's so crazy to see the directions that He has taken the five of us, 
and yet, it's so amazing to see that nothing has really changed. 
"Oh how Great the Father's love for us"

I am so thankful for you. 
Thank you for constantly speaking Truth into my heart.

 "I would rather be what God chose to make me than the most glorious creature that I could think of; for to have been thought about, born in God's thought, and then made by God, is the dearest, grandest, and most precious thing in all thinking." -George MacDonald

Here's a quote that my dear sister Lydia shared with me a few weeks ago after a lovely conversation. Yay for technology and the ways it has blessed me with such precious opportunities.

It's amazing to think that two girls who fell in love with a community through short mission trips--would eventually settle down for a little while to serve, and more often than not, learn.

Indeed, we are learning.
...learning to trust in a Lord that is bigger than the difficulties that we face every day.
...learning to remember that He loves our kids more than our human hearts possibly ever could.
...learning to praise God for every little thing that comes our way...be it good or "bad"
(quotation marks around bad because even those, I'm learning to see, carry much good)

I am so thankful for you.
