Praise the Lord, I’m back in the Philippines after 4 whole months stateside! The original plan was one month of recuperation and visiting family… not long after arriving there, that quickly turned to 3 months! For those who don’t know, I had the chance to shadow/ intern with a wonderful midwife in Washington State during …
full disclosure: meeting my classmates at the airport and socializing took up all the layover time I thought I’d use to post… and I’m not mad about it at alll – but it means a delay for you all 🙂 can’t wait to share in real-time when I get my feet under me! I’ve loved …
there is so much encouragement to be had in spurring each other on in our confidence in Christ. as I continue to prepare my heart for missions in a new country, I want to admit I’ve been quick to get nervous about my “readiness.” I have lived a lot of my life with the desire …

I gave myself a pass last week to save a new post for the next week. it’s amazing how quickly two weeks can go by at some times and how slow it can feel at other times. this weekend Clara arrived for the summer ! I am proud of her for being brave and …

hello! it’s long past due for an update on life. the past few months have flown by in a way. after the summer, I spent my time adding up the credits I still needed to graduate, and planned out which electives and classes I wanted to take to finish one last semester. I also joined …
