Pine Ridge Indian Reservation

    Our first mission trip was a blast. The week was filled with serving in areas from kids ministry to roof repair  — and everything in between. Here are a few of the highlights from my time spent there: Thursday   Pastor Gus Craven was running out of jobs for us, but I do not think he had quite realized it. Three of us girls were assigned one very daunting task: to sit with the cats. Eventually we could try to find the lost kitten, but only if we wanted to. We found the kitten and placed the family in their assigned home. The nameless cats received names and a little bit of love that day. The mother was dubbed Marge, and her two kittens Ellenore and Rupert   ***  We sat quietly in the run down shack. There were dust-filled boxes of items from years before our time. There were intriguing stacks of letters as old as 1929. "To my dear wife..." I read out loud. It was really fascinating to explore the shadows of a time before our ow...

South Africa is...

    We spent the rest of our few weeks in the beautiful country of South Africa with many different ministries all over the area.     I honestly don't know where to start in describing the past six weeks of my life. I don't know how to communicate the things I have experienced. I don't know what to tell you or how I would begin to do so. I am simply able to tell you what South Africa is to me.

I Always Wondered

Image
I always wondered what it felt like to travel the world... now I know.     I woke up today and realized my life is moving incredibly fast. In fact, I  hardly know what to do about it. So much stuff has happened that I never anticipated, and it's all in the past. It feels like a couple of weeks ago I was putting together my photos for graduation -- but that was a couple years ago.      In just 80 days, I won't be a teenager anymore. Things are going by so fast and I still feel like the girl who ran around town in a cape on her sixteenth birthday. But then again, I think I simply neglect to realize how much has changed. When I look back on how I felt and the things I worried about, I don't even feel like the same person. I have grown and learned so much, and I have become more of who I was created to be. I have made more memories than I knew was possible in such little time. I always wondered what it felt like to be comfortable in who I am. Now I ...
