Week 2!

8.9.13

2 weeks.  Never in my life would I have thought I would go to France for 2 weeks, much less move here.  That's when I am reminded that God has a plan for me, a plan that I can't even imagine.  

Many of you guys know that I wasn't thrilled about coming here.  But now that we're here I know why the Lord had us come here, we are learning SO much!!  Being immersed in French is making such a difference for me, being able to hear it 24/7 has helped in huge ways. 

  So overall, the Lord has been blessing us in huge ways!!  We had the blessing of having some new friends over for dinner the other night, and it was so good to have people over! We are continuing to make new friends and look forward to the things that the Lord has in store!


♥Prayer Requests♥
  • Continued language acquisition
  • Bravery to speak more French!
  • School to go well this week
  • Continued peace about being in France
 
Thank you for all you continued love and support!

Music Mondays ~ You Can Have Me

30.4.13

I really love this song and wanted to share it with you guys!


If I saw You on the street
And You said come and follow me
But I had to give up everything
All I once held dear and all of my dreams

Would I love You enough to let go
Or would my love run dry
When You asked for my life

When did love become unmoving?
When did love become unconsuming?
Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love, You can have me
You can have me

If You’re all You claim to be
Then I’m not losing anything
So I will crawl upon my knees
Just to know the joy of suffering

I will love You enough to let go
Lord, I give you my life
I give you my life

When did love become unmoving?
When did love become unconsuming?
Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love, You can have me
You can have me

I want to be where You are
I’m running into Your arms
And I will never look back
So Jesus, here is my heart

When did love become unmoving?
When did love become unconsuming?
Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love, You can have me
You can have me

When did love become unmoving?
When did love become unconsuming?
Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love, You can have me
My Father, my love
You can have me

Spring has Sprung!

29.4.13

















It has been such blessing to be able to live in a rural area again. To wake up to birds singing and the chickens clucking, waiting to be let out of their pen. To be able to hunt squirrels and turkeys, work in the garden, enjoy the sunshine and cool breezes.

 We are in a small town that has a great library and sweet people. It has been so wonderful to have people make eye contact and smile at you.

There are things that I definitely miss about being in Atlanta, not being able to spend lots of time with cousins and seeing folks from church more often.

I can definitely see that God had a plan when He moved us to Atlanta, much to our chagrin. He brought people and family into our life that we otherwise wouldn't have known. He helped us feel "at home" even when we were out of our comfort zone.

Being able to move here has reminded me how God is so good to take us to places where He knows we will be happiest. I am so thankful for these little reminders of how much He loves us.

 


Adventures in Odyssey

MTI-Splice

24.12.12

While we were in Colorado Springs for our training we were able to go to Focus on the Family's headquarters! We got to visit Whit's End and the Kids Radio Theater.





We were so blessed when it snowed while we were at MTI





We met a ton of great kids that are going all over the world to be MKs (Missionary Kids)






I loved it at MTI. It was so cool to hang out with kids and folks that were going through the same things that I am. 
The program was really amazing. I learned SO much!! It has definitely changed the way I look at a lot of things in life, not just the things that have to do with missions, or moving over seas.  

Training

Colorado so far....

27.10.12

I can't believe that I have been in Colorado for 2 weeks already!! The time has gone by really fast thanks to new friends and lots of great information. I have had a lot of fun hanging with kids my age after not having anyone my age to hang out with for about a year. 



My class leader is awesome and the other kids are all really cool.  There are 2 other sets of siblings plus Jesse and I. 



This training has been really great but there have been some hard times too. It has really prepared me to live in community with other people and enjoy whoever God puts in my life. 








I'll post more pictures later
