joyful beginnings


...new mercies everyday...


“Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up;
do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland."
Isaiah 43: 18-19

2012 is here! I honestly can't believe it.

highlights of 2011-

...first job out of college, working at Airrosti Rehab Centers
...moved to Kenya to work with BlueSky
...safari in the Maasai Mara
...coast of the Indian Ocean in Mombasa
...new friends in Kenya and meaningful relationships
...opportunity to lead Covenant groups with middle school and high school students in Nairobi
...growth in my relationship with Christ- His mercies are new every day. Praise Jesus!

This past weekend some of my best friends came to San Antonio to visit and ring in the New Year! We went to a country concert, hung out at the house, power walked through the neighborhood, worshiped at Oak Hills Church Sunday morning, adventured to Enchanted Rock to explore, watched countless YouTube videos as Darby, Heather and Lauren quoted Nacho Libre, and laughed the entire weekend. What a good way to start a new year!

Being home has reminded me how blessed I am by family and friends- it is good to my soul! These girls really do sharpen me, encourage me, make me want to be a better person, bring so much joy and laughter into my life, and point me to the Lord. So thankful!




we went on our own nature walk.. check out "neature walk" on YouTube. haha

We have so much to be thankful for...
...new beginnings
...old and new friends
...family
...opportunities for growth
...unconditional love
...God's amazing grace
...communication with our Heavenly Father who hears us through prayer
