“Everyday there's a thousands things that some how pass us by that cut through the noise so you can know what love sounds like I’m gonna tune your frequency to 106.1 point me so there’s no distraction   Take a breath take it in love has no expiration date my heart will always be for you at a constant rate It will outlast anything you thought was set in stone it goes on and on and on and on and on   Can you feel my love loud and clear, it pulls you near ”   — Natasha Bedingfield   I used to live a life...

We have 3 weeks left together on our trip and by this time I think I have a pretty good grip on who everyone is. so let me share it with you… Kirsten-She has done so much growing and healing on this trip and has really opened up to the team I'm so proud of her!:D She will be a light to her friends and family back home.

      Since arriving in Kenya a few months ago, we have done a lot of moving.  Our surroundings are constantly changing and there has been very little constancy. BUT…it has been so good in so many ways.      I left my house 3 days before I had to leave for training camp and stayed in River Falls, WI with some of my best friends.  Then, I flew to Atlanta, GA.  The first night we stayed in a homeless shelter and then moved to the training camp in Gainesville, GA for 3 days. Finally, we arrived in Kenya after a stop in...

I made this struggle know to the team and Nikki told me that I do hear from God! She told me that tomorrow I would recieve a word...

Harness secure… Check. Toes over the edge… Check. Eyes looking straight out in front of me… Check. Now all I have to remember is to breathe… "Three! Two! One," called the instructor, "JUMP!" I bend my knees just enough to launch me from the platform. I swing my arms out in front of me as my body lurches forward into the air. I watch as the mountains in the distance start to move upward as I start to fall. I can't breathe. My stomach feels like it's going to slide up my throat. I think I'm going to throw up… As I soar into the...
