All the "stuff" around me ... good stuff... bad stuff... in between stuff... threatens to destroy, distract, and derail. Frustrations are high, and blessings are too.

Just hold on…
About a mile into my morning run yesterday, I stopped to wait for a car to pass at an intersection and noticed this little guy (or lady) hanging out on my running shorts. You can imagine my surprise when I arrived home four MILES later, to find him still clinging to the bright blue cotton.… Continue reading Just hold on…
Flying Free
Her sandals flip and flop as she makes her way across the field. The bright green grass in deep contrast with the dark gray skies. The clouds, ready to burst with rain at any moment, a grander version of her tear-ducts ready to do the same. Finding her way to the rectangle piece of rubber… Continue reading Flying Free
Whatever’s in front of me…
I must start with an apology for my lack of posting lately. Upon returning from NYC, life has continued to be a whirlwind of celebrations, brokenness, busyness, joy, and more.

Have you ever tried to truly give away something for free? Whether it's simply passing along your cart at Aldi's without wanting a quarter back or doing a car wash "just because", people aren't used to others just simply doing good without some ulterior motives. Our teams discovered this in even greater ways today as… Continue reading Day 4 Recap – “What’s the Catch?”

NYC Day 3 Recap – Dirt, Dye, and a Delicious Dinner
Today, we journeyed from Bronxville, to the Bronx, to Brooklyn and back. (FYI: that's a lot of train time!) We dug deep in dirt, got covered in dye, and ate a delicious dinner.
