Lost

R E S P E C T In the time it takes for a few words to be spoken poof… it’s gone! That nagging thought that had nestled into the back corner of your mind some time ago but you dismissed because “that would never happen” just screamed at you, I TOLD YOU SO! Feelings…

I’m in love…

With summer on Echo Lake. Once again I spent my summer working at Camp Winnebago in Maine. Last year was good, this year was spectacular! The staff that I had the privilege of working side by side with was incredible. I made so many new friends that I hope to know for a lifetime. This…

I went to Maine. It was amazing. I loved working at Camp Winnebago. Teaching campers and witnessing “ah ha” moments. Meeting people from all over the U.S. and world was unbelievable. Becoming a part of a culture unique only to Camp, one that try as I might to explain I just can’t quite paint the right…

K.I.S.S.

I’ve sat down countless times to write a new blog, but never seem to come up with just the right thing to say and end up erasing everything I wrote and starting over and then over again and again and then eventually give up. I have high hopes that I can cover some ground this…

Rain = Blessing

St. Patrick’s Day I started back at the church school. I couldn’t have been more happy that I started on that day as it is one of my very favorite holidays. I love all things Irish…that’s allowed because Tá mé an Ghaeilge ♣. I get to teach in the 1st & 2nd grade class every morning…

Meet Murray

I found this treasure at a yard sale last saturday. He came complete with the user manual and instructions. While looking through said booklets we found the original layaway and purchase receipt. He was purchased in 1984 in Fort Lewis, Wa.

it’s all in my head (and heart)

 I have an MRI scheduled for tomorrow.  Please pray that it would show what is going on and there will finally be some answers. Thank. You.   I got to spend my day with kids…that made my ♥heart♥ happy. I don’t get all caught up in this “poor me” Valentine’s Day junk. I love Valentine’s…

I’m not afraid anymore!

Holly and I watched Home Alone a few days ago. Remember the part where Kevin comes out from under the bed and yells “I’m not afraid anymore” ? I can identify. Sometimes in life we get to a point where we are afraid. Not scared or frightened but fearful and worrisome. Afraid of what God…

JENGA

December ….DECEMBER‼️ I am sitting here drinking a cup of Prince of Wales tea and thinking about the fact that I have been home, in America, for two whole months. I can not believe it. Even though there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about Papua New Guinea, I am finally…
