I put a lot of new photos up this week! Mostly from Thrive Trip, Safari, LaunchPad Assemblies, etc.

As a disclaimer, a lot [actually, it might be all...] of the Thrive Trip photos are from people on the trip. There are some amazing pictures and I can’t take credit for any of them…

Everyone from Thrive Trip left today. I cried. But I’m so excited that I’ve spent the last 3 weeks making amazing new friends.

Here are some photos, I’ll post more later.

wednesday.

I’m not a very emotional person, but even the thought of this makes me tear up a bit. On Wednesday I will have to say goodbye to 25 people I just met 2 weeks ago and have developed such a passion for, it’s hard to even describe it with words.

So much has happened in all of their hearts, but mine too. It’s amazing how nearly 30 people can grow so much simultaneously. God has done amazing things in all of our lives and strengthened our faith in spectacular ways. This probably will sound like a huge exaggeration, but trust me when I say this may have been one of the best experiences of my life.

BUT, we’re headed on a safari tomorrow…I’m excited to spend 3 more days with my new friends! And I’m not thinking about them leaving again until Wednesday morning…

I’m helping lead a short-term mission trip [part of the reason i've been mia for last couple weeks]. Here’s a picture from today…my group is making bricks. Tomorrow we’re going to start putting together the house. Who would have thought, huh? Me building a house….
