Friends and Family

Hey everyone. I miss you all very much! Whether you reside in Florida or Louisiana...or anywhere else I MISS YOU ALL. Austin is nice. I am learning my way around. So far I know how to get to my house, and the hospital. Oh, and the grocery store...

We brought Mom home from the hospital today. She is doing well, in some pain as you can imagine. Thank you to all of you who are texting me! I am so grateful to know you are thinking about us and praying for us. Thank you for your encouragement.

I want to give a big SHOUT OUT to all the refuge kids at HPC. I'll miss you guys tonight!!! God is going to move and I wish I could be there. Direct all your hugs for me to Lauren...she will need them!

PLEASE GO TO THE "MOM" LINK TO THE RIGHT TO SEE HER BLOG AND FIND OUT MORE ABOUT HOW SHE IS DOING.

Going to Austin...

Today i leave for Austin Texas. I am at my last Annex service for the next two months right now. I will miss it so much but I know this summer is going to be amazing. I will learn so much, be so challenged, and come to a deeper understanding of who God is. Not to mention, i'll be able to spend tons of quality time with my family during this hard time. We found out the my mom has breast cancer a few weeks ago. That is when all my summer plans changed. It is hard to leave all my friends and famiy and the work of the ministry here at HPC, but i will be back in August! Please continue to pray for my mom's quick recovery and hopeful spirits as she begins this battle with cancer. I cannot thank you all enough for your prayers and support! I'll keep you all posted...

Back from AFRICA!

Yes I have been back for over two weeks now...
Check out this cute baby elephant we saw!


There has been so much going on since we returned. Elevate finished. It feels great to be done! Looking back I can see how much God has done in my life over the last nine months. I also see how much more He has to do!! That is why I am so excited about doing a second year of Elevate starting in August. I will be able to earn my Masters Degree in Biblical Studies. What an amazing privilege to gain such a good education and be trained so well for the ministry.

Although I am back from Africa a big piece of my heart remains there. I miss it so much. It seems strange to me how much I miss it after being there for such a short time. But, I believe that God has future plans for me there. One day I see myself planting churches all over Europe. My goal is an HPC in every capital city of every country in Europe... BIG - VERY, POSSIBLE - DEFINITLY. God is huge, I'm sick of underestimating Him. Anyway, I would love to be able to go back to help Isaac and Carol in Mozambique. I'm praying hard about this.
