As I was looking for something in Psalms the other day, I came across a note next to these verses that reminded me of a little boy, Nico, that lived at the orphanage where I served in Africa back in June 2010. The verses come from Psalm 145: "The eyes of all look to You,… Continue reading God Provides for Nico, God Provides for Us

Africa On My Heart…
As much as I sadly sometimes try to ignore it and go on with my "normal" life here in America, there is no doubting that part of my heart remains in Africa. I may have only lived there one month, but in that short time, I experienced things and gave of myself in ways that leave… Continue reading Africa On My Heart…
All People Matter
As a person who generally does not make habit of reading the forwards to books, I'm extremely glad that I actually read the one at the front of Kisses from Katie by Katie Davis. This entire book has grabbed my attention and my heart. I'm sure I will share other parts of this book… Continue reading All People Matter
Africa on the Heart
Today part of my heart is in Africa... here are a few reasons why: I read the first blog update this morning from my friend Jessica who recently arrived at Musana Children's Home in Uganda.

But What If I end Up Some Place Like New York?!?!?
I didn’t want to clutter the other post from today with this story, but it is, as my staffmates would say “hi-larious” and just one of those things that confirms in my mind that God truly does have a sense of humor: So during my last semester at Concordia I was trying to make… Continue reading But What If I end Up Some Place Like New York?!?!?
Prayers Prayed… Prayers Answered
As I’ve described in posts Saturday, Sunday, and Monday… the way I ended up in New York for internship is something that only God could orchestrate. The stories are cool, but what is even more amazing is to see the ways in which God has answered so many specific prayers this year that were prayed… Continue reading Prayers Prayed… Prayers Answered

When Jen lays down Mary’s just opening her eyes. Her child’s feet land on the ground and dirt scatters, And she feels left… Continue reading Hands That Hold the World
An (Un)divided Heart
Wow! What a week! I had an absolutely WONDERFUL time in Haiti with the FT team and plan to tell you all about it here (and hopefully in person) in the days to come. What’s standing out to me most right now is best described in a comment a friend posted on my Facebook wall… Continue reading An (Un)divided Heart
HOPE {Day 1} We NEED Hope
Where to begin? This is day 1 of a month long journey of intentionally looking at hope and I discovered something today. When you set out to focus intentionally on one thing, suddenly your eyes are opened to it everywhere. I feel like I could fill 31 days of blogging about hope just from the… Continue reading HOPE {Day 1} We NEED Hope
