Busy Busy Busy
If you’ve been following here for a while, you already know what summers are like for me. 60 hour weeks, with all my free time consumed with being social. I never blog in the summer. I apologize for this. I really do miss y’all. Plus my computer is driving me crazy. I’ve been taxing my … Read more

People come over. Photography ensues.
Hammocks
They are the coolest thing ever. Except when you want to sleep. After I recieved one of the greatest gifts ever given to me, it was decided that the group would string them up for a night and sleep outside. Here we are at the campfire; you can see the hammocks strung in the background. … Read more
Lasts
I accidentally invited myself to a commissioning service. How embarrassing. After church last night, I headed back to the office to get in one more hour of work before my “find a job” vacation started. Upon being done at 10pm, I walked to my car only to see my friends walking down the road past … Read more
Second to the Gospel
I went to Nigeria last November with a discipleship program that I’m somewhat connected to called LIFT. The story of how that came to be and what I learned through it can be found here, here, here, here, here and here. A guest post from one of the LIFT directors is here. LIFT runs on … Read more
What Did Dela Wear?
In my obvious neglect of the series I started way back when, I promise I was busy. Last weekend, after a long week, I was given three days off of work; like a kid in a candy shop with her 3-minute-old allowance, I set in my mind to travel. My goal? Rest. Will I ever … Read more

People fit into two categories: Nerd Cool and Jerk Cool. She said that on some level, people fit into either category. The … Read more
All the Earth Rejoice
This was my first Christmas away from home and while I missed my family dearly, my day was not lacking in joy and excitement. I had the privilege of spending the day with my mentor and her family (her dad also happens to be my rockin-awesome pastor). On top of excited children, there was snow, … Read more
You Won’t Need SCUBA Gear
Did your mother ever say to you, “if you don’t stop playing with your toy like that, it will break and you won’t have a toy anymore?” My mom said that to us all the time; followed up with “and I won’t be buying you a new one.” Well, the grown-up version of that warning … Read more
Chicago!
I was in Chicago last weekend for what I was describing to people as a little R&R. But, it was more like a little walk&walk. I had a fantastically awesome time in Chi-town, but I’m very tired. There are many, many stories that I’ll share with you soon, but for now I just have photos. … Read more
