At 11:45 this morning I passed this sign on my way back from helping run the ropes course for Operation Purple Camp at Pioneer Camp and Retreat Center: The crazy thing about this is that I drove past that same sign for the very first time exactly two years ago today at the end of… Continue reading I love my life!

joyfullyblessed … to be a DCE
After this weekend, all I can say is, wow. I am still sitting here on Monday night in awe of how blessed I am. Here is the SHORT version of the list of blessings I wrote in my journal this morning to thank God for: Thank you God for being covered, literally in prayers and… Continue reading joyfullyblessed … to be a DCE
Workcamp-The First Couple days!
Hello all! Things are going VERY well at Workcamp 2011 in Hurricane, WV. First thing’s first…. as you read “Hurricane” throughout the next few days… whatever you do, DO NOT read it as “HurricAne”. That is NOT how you pronounce the city in which we serve! The correct pronunciation is actually more like Hurri-“KIN” (kin… Continue reading Workcamp-The First Couple days!
A year of lessons… a year of grace.
It’s crazy to think that one year ago I was sitting with my in my brand new apartment, surrounded by boxes, in a town (state) I had never been to before, after driving 3 days across the country, wondering what in the world the year ahead of me held. Now, I am truly blessed to… Continue reading A year of lessons… a year of grace.
A chance to reach out.
As I continue to hear about the devastation around the country due to the recent tornadoes, I'm in awe. It can be easy to think that there's little we can do to help, but it has been very neat to see people from First Trinity step up and help recently.

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
Okay. So maybe you ARE getting an Intern.
…. continued from yesterday So as I said yesterday. Sue dismissed the idea of getting an intern and Tim went about his work of visiting the last couple possible sites.

Sorry, You’re not getting an Intern.
(Continued from yesterday’s post…) After the announcement part of our placement dinner was complete, the room exploded with conversation. Hugs shared all around (I don’t think there were (m)any tears). Someone broke out the atlas and we started finding Wausau and Flushing, WI; Huntington and Georgetown IN; Bryant, AR; TONAWANDA,NY. Brenda, the DCE secretary… Continue reading Sorry, You’re not getting an Intern.
