I've stumbled upon the habit of having a "summer bucket list" the past few years and a few weeks ago I started putting together my list for 2016. It's not a traditional bucket list in the sense that I actually expect to check off every single thing, but rather one that reminds me of all… Continue reading Summer Bucket List

I love my life! (And I think that’s how it’s supposed to be.)
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!

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?!?!?
JB… Two months of Joy and Blessing!
Well, as of yesterday, I’ve officially been in New York for 2 months. In some ways it’s hard to comprehend it’s been that long and in other ways it feels much longer.

joyfullyblessed and made NEW!
There have been a lot of NEW things in my life lately. The summer started by purchasing a NEW car (well actually it’s used, but new to me). Then I headed off to many NEW experiences in a NEW country, Uganda, coming home with a completely NEW perspective on life. A week later I… Continue reading joyfullyblessed and made NEW!
Joyfullyblessed… In NEW YORK!
Last Thursday, July 8th, I set out with my mom and dad (and two full cars) on a journey halfway across the country. After many hours of driving, passing through 7 states, 2 nights in a hotel, horrible roads in Indiana, a LONG traffic jam in Ohio, and 5 tanks of gas (in each car),… Continue reading Joyfullyblessed… In NEW YORK!
