i'm baaaaaack....

whoa nelly....i haven't blogged since september. where have i been from the world of blogging?? I don't even know if I know the answer to that question. Welp, here some tidbits about yours truly that should catch you up to speed.

*started a new j-o-b. I laugh A LOT when I am there, so that makes the days pretty enjoyable. I actually have been really blessed with the position I have and have met some pretty hip people.

*went to the Dominican Republic over Thanksgiving to continue working on the feeding center that Crossroads Church has committed to build in Batey Cuchillo. It was an awesome trip. I love that I feel like the Dominicans are my family and I theirs. What a blessing and privilege it was loving and serving them over a difficult holiday season.

*November 24th marked the 5 yr. anniversary of my mothers death. The Lord reminded me of some precious truths that day while I was in the Dominican. He has given me several opportunities on days that remind me of my mom to look outwards instead of sulk in my grief and sadness. I desire to honor my mom on those days and serve others. What a cool gift that was to learn that in a deeper way!!!

*Christmas in PA was fun. Always a j-o-y to see family!

*This winter has been super dreadful...I can't ever remember a winter quite like this one in such a long time. Certainly not since I moved to WV. Snow Snow Snow....I'm very much looking forward to spring!!!

*Made a surprise visit to see Becky, Peter and Asher for his 1st Birthday Party!!!! How fun to see my sister shocked that I was in TX and what a joy it was to have some Aunt Manda and Asher time. I need more of that.....

AND some BIG BIG BIG changes will be happening in the next few months....more to come, more. to. come.

Welp, that has been my life in a nutshell...more blogs on a regular basis will happen.
