Jillian, 5 years

Jilli,


I love you SO much, and I am so thankful that you are my niece. Love ya!


Auntie Natali


GOD is SO amazing!! I have been having second thoughts, or perhaps more accurately stated cold feet about going on a missions trip, and last night I was just sitting there, and I heard GOD speak in my spirit, "What I have shown you, GO!". I heard it so clearly! I am at a loss for explanation of how wonderful it felt to know that GOD is behind me 100%.

YAY! A new picture of my youngest little nephew. I edited it for my sister.

Josiah Gabriel, 9 months.

I'm missing this little guy like something crazy! I can't wait until whenever I get to see him again...
I love you, Josiah! <3
I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do. - Helen Keller

Africa is so heavy on my heart right now.

a love greater than anything I've ever known before...

You know, the past week or so has been eye opening for me. I have suddenly fallen in love so hard with my Heavenly Father, even more so than last year. To be honest, I didn't think it was possible, but GOD's mercies are new every morning, are they not? The more I seek Him, the more I fall in love with Him.

"When you come looking for me, you'll find me. "Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I'll make sure you won't be disappointed." Jeremiah 29:13,14 [The Message version]
I need Africa more than Africa needs me. Do you?
