spring break!!

OK, so all my teacher friends are on spring break next week....
no such luck for this girl.

It would be hard to top last year's California adventure, though!

My sweet little godchild, Jayden...


I realize I'm slightly biased, but how could anyone not love that face?!

We took Jayden hiking yesterday up Barr Trail.... maybe someday he'll do the Pikes Peak Ascent like his daddy!

the tug on my heart...

Ever since I went to Kenya in July 2005, I've known that I would like to go back someday. I love the African people, who so quickly worked their way into my heart.

As I've prayed about Kenya in recent months, the Lord has confirmed that this is the year! And so, I am preparing to go back to Kenya on a mission trip this June!

I covet your prayers in the weeks to come...

"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed
by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did.
So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.”
~Mark Twain

Thanks for "wrestling out loud" tonight, Nichole...


"Finally Free" by Nichole Nordeman

No chain is strong enough
No choice is wrong enough
No mountain high enough
That He can't climb

No shadow dark enough
No night is black enough
No road is lost enough
That He can't find

And if the Son has set us free
Then we must be free indeed
Let the chains fall away
Starting today
Everything has changed
I'm finally free

No pain is deep enough
No heart could bleed enough
Nothing but Jesus' love can make a way
