After reflecting over the past month, I just realized what amazing friends that God has placed in my life. I wouldn't be who I am today without them and I got to see a lot of them on this trip to Texas, which was fantastic! I can't think God enough for giving me these close friends that love Him and always point me back to Him and His goodness. #focusingonJesus
What a joy to be able to see Jennifer and Natasha! It definitely brought happiness to my heart!! We just picked up right where we left off. . .we didn't even skip a beat. I'm so blessed by your lives, your love for Jesus and your heart that truly desires to honor and glorify our King! You challenge and inspire me to be more like Jesus! :) Thanks!
Good times with Hannah, Seth, Tiff, Daniel, Laura, and Joy!
We definitely had a blast together, enjoying life with these kids is great!! Four-wheelers, Laughing, Backyard BBQ, Canoeing, Chick-fil-a, Chatting, Shooting, Chipotle, Late Nights, Deep conversations, and a crazy busy conference week, will make for super fun times and awesome memories! Love you guys!
I got to be Laura's traveling budy on our trip! We had a grand ole time, stopped to see friends, took the scenic route to Texas, talked and laughed for hours, it was great!! Daniel came back to Chicago with us and I really appreciate him and he always inspires me as he gives and cares for all the people around him. I'm so excited for where God is taking you next!
I got to stay with Joy while I was down there, I miss this girl so much but super excited about what God is doing in her life. No, more late 4 hour phone calls. . .when you get to spend the whole week with her! Thanks Joy for always being there, you're the best! Stay steady, stay strong in the confidence of our unfailing Father. He's trustworthy!
We got to stop by my families place on the way back up to HQ. Hannah had her senior recital and did an awesome job! I SO glad that I could be there for it!! (Thanks Laura and Daniel for making it possible). I'm so beyond proud of this amazing sister of mine, she goes above and beyond what's required or expected in every situation, no matter how big or small it may seem!! #amazingsis
We went to a volleyball tournament and stopped by my grandparents place for the weekend. It was great to see their new house and visit the cute little country church that they've been attending.
This basically describes my friendship with Tricia! She's such a blessing to my life, going along with my crazy ideas and lets me talk through all of my thoughts and feelings. LOL No matter if we're cooking, working, talking, playing volleyball, practicing ukulele/mandolin, swinging, laughing, shopping, hanging out. . .it's always better with this girl!! She definitely keeps life exciting and always has us laughing.
I'm grateful for the times that God has given me with each one of them, and as we all have our separate lives now. . .I'm really grateful for the times when we get together! Each one of you show me a different characteristic of Jesus and I'm challenged to be more like Him because of you and the work that you're allowing Him to do it your life! May He pour out His richest blessings upon your lives!!
