One Click


Have you ever had a moment in your life that you just knew that the father was totally real and listening to your every thought? I realize that dad is real and I know he promises in his word that he hears our every request….but recently I had one of those moments.
Picture a beautiful baby girl with bubbles, a waterfall with a sunset, or a bride and groom gazing into each others eyes, these are all sights to behold! Well, I wanted the opportunity to capture those moments not only with my 10 year old camera but a new big camera that took quality photos! As I wandered through best buy and day dreamed about taking pictures of the Great Wall or little Chinese girls I couldn’t help but notice the Huge price tag at every camera I liked. I found one camera in particular that I would really like to have. For weeks I thought about this camera and decided it was ridiculous that I was thinking about a hunk of metal and some mirror pieces that much, so I presented a request to Dad. I told him I knew I didn’t need it but that I really would like it and I prayed somehow he would provide it for me. At the end I left it at the fathers feet and didn’t think about it again.
Two weeks later a friend showed up at our apartment and gave us the exact camera I had prayed for….for FREE!! What in the world?!? Yes, he answered Baby! It was a huge faith building experience and gave me comfort knowing he knows our every need, let alone our hearts desires.
I share this not to state He will give you everything you ask for, I still have zits and mosquito’s are still taking over the earth, but I tell you this story to encourage you to have faith in our father and to know he hears your every thought. He provides and is capable of producing a camera for me to capture moments in just one click. I too am reminded he is capable of providing all finances needed in 3 weeks…in just one click as well!

First Day of School

First Day of School. The same nerves that run through everyone on their first day of school were kicking in as I walked up the stairs to room 203. I have never taught at a college level before, I definitely have not taught Chinese. Would they like me? Would they be able to understand? All these worries and thoughts were flying around my brain, but within an instant the madness stopped! As I let go of Jeremy's hand and stepped foot into my classroom, I was immediately filled with peace and joy! Their smiling faces and eager hearts just makes you melt :) I greeted the 10 or so students who arrived early and then began writing on the chalk board. It may be messy, but writing on a chalk board is totally teacher and made my day. The first class went well, it was a little bumpy but for the most part my lesson was accomplished and the students left smiling. As that class left, the second arrived and I started all over. This time with a passion and a confidence. I loved Teaching! ...

Not a Monk

How does someone know the Father has “called” them to something? I have always wondered what people had to do in order for them to be called or spoken to by the creator himself. I figured you had to be a monk or a pastor of some sort.             I remember when Jeremy and I were engaged and in pre-marriage counseling. Our pastor, of course, had to bring up China. This was a topic of so many discussions. Will we go back? (Probably a no) Do you want to go? (Definite no) Do you feel like the father would have you stay here in Evansville? (Yes, that is correct) I was not being “called “ to China. Nor did I feel like that was in my future.             I have always known that the Lord has made my heart special and that I felt as if he was going to do something different through me than an average young adult. I never knew what that was, but always felt that deep inside. After one...

Home Sweet Home

The time has finally come to reveal what you all have been longing for......our home! I really wish I had taken before pictures, so you could see what all we did to the place. Here is the result of all our creativity and shopping trips back and forth from store to store. We don't have any decorations up yet, just the main necessity things...but soon I hope to add some color with pillows, art, and some throw blankets!!
