It's Friday night Ya'll!

What a wonderful Friday night! Ah.. i love the weekend. Friday nights here at the base are quite an event. Usually Friday nights are spent running around the Blakney House.. sliding on the wood floor, belting out any random song that comes to mind, tackling each other and laughter! And it ends with a movie! This Friday we went to Chris and Megan Vengalas house (Our YWAM staff leaders) for dinner and s'mores by the campfire! IT WAS SO FUN. The meal was out of this world.. they are great cooks! There was much fellowship and hanging out and it was awesome. No agenda.. no running around.. no meetings. Pure chillin out. I thought I would introduce you to some of my YWAM friends!


This is Brittany. She's in the WISE school. She calls me "L-Niddle" .. I can't really tell ya why but I love it. I laugh so hard when I am with her. I also answer to her for my work duty-go hospitality and house keeping team!
Hello Sarah! She's in my DTS.. We have nick named her "Giggles" for obvious reasons :). Mmm S'mores!!
Beautiful Kristen.. love this girl! She's in the WISE school also and she is in charge of what goes on at Front Porch. She's so great with those kids!
Keniazh (DTS), Cassie (DTS), Sara (DTS), Elby (WISE) and Brittany (WISE)!
Crystal, Cassie and Elby playing the haha game!
Berkeley is a part of the WISE school. She is so much fun!! You can find her at any given moment singing Regina Spektor or Queen or any worship song under the sun. We have a few inside jokes already. Right Harold? haha! In this pic she's holding Zoe, Chris and Megans oldest daughter.
And THIS is Priya. The second of Chris and Megans four daughters. I babysit them every Tuesday and I have SO much fun. Last week we had a fashion show and the week before that we pretended to be cowgirls.. amazing. 
Britt, Berk, Linds, Kenz and Cassie!
This is Kenaizh and I with Heather (or Hovde as we call her. It's her last name). She's our DTS staff leader and chica we meet with on a one on one basis each week. We love Hovde!
This is only some of the girls.. I hope to get more pictures up here! I'm also working on a video that will include all of my DTS girls so you can meet them and get to know them a bit :).

more to come soon!!

One month and it feels like forever.

It's been one month since I'm living here in North Carolina being a part of YWAM Monroe. It has turned from like to love. Life is such an ADVENTURE and I am loving the challenges thus far. Well.. I can't say that I've loved all of the challenges but right now sitting on this side of the hill I feel like a conquerer with Christ and that is what I love. I can not do this life without Jesus. I need him everyday to continue. Realizing that.. like for real realizing that has been a beautiful process.

There is never an end to God! I'm so glad that he wants to give me more. As much as I want more of him he fulfills that and gives me a deeper longing only to be filled with more of him only to give me more and more and more.. etc.

It's wonderful.

Kim Walker is singing to me right now and that makes it even more wonderful.

Happy Birthday to my mom on Thursday! I Love you Mom--take it easy on your day.
Shout out to Dad--Sorry I haven't gotten back to you! A lot has kept me busy but no excuses I will call you this week!! Love you Dad.

I can't wait to deliver babies. But right here, right now-this is where I need to be. The Lord needed to deal with me before he gave the ok to go out on other Adventures. He knows what he's doing and I'm extremely grateful that HE does cause I sure don't.

More to come soon.

Please check out this blog: IJMInstitute.org. It's all about saving human Trafficking victims. These people are not fooling around-they are getting in there and saving people who are being trafficked and sold for sex slavery--it is such a COOL movement. There are ways.. Lord help us find your children who are being abducted and abused and SOLD.

It's hard to fully trust God.

I'm getting there.

Today I was tired.

Today was a good day.

PRAY for precious Taylor. She is scheduled to have open heart surgery this month. Pray for healing and safety. Pray that her little heart would grow bigger and that her little lungs would continue to pump air to her little heart. Sweet girl.

A vision of things to come? Yes.. in the home that will some day be mine to fill with wonderful treasures.
Do you not love these pants?
I do.
Dear World.. I love living on you. I hope to travel you. Aren't you glad that the Lord created you? I am.

You are on my heart dear friends.



My dad took me to Williamsburg on the way to bringing me to North Carolina <3.>

nope.
not quite.
there it is!
LOVE.

Thank you Hillsong and Aaron Espe. Your music has delighted my ears this week.
Why am I blogging? I have a l o n g list of things that need to be done.
