Spring break >> HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS








Welcome home....

I left Canada with the multiple feet of snow, I knew that I would be going home to a place of bare ground.
The day that I arrived home it snowed! God sure knows me well = )
This was also the day that while I am admiring just how gorgeously beautiful God's confetti is, mom slipped and fell- hurting her ankle pretty bad.
The following day I was sick and honestly, God works everything perfectly.
Mom and I were able to hang out lots more!
If she wouldn't have hurt her ankle she would have had all her time soaked up at the Greenhouses taking care of flowers.
Not at all a bad thing to take care of flowers, and we could've done it together, but having the time to simply hang out and chill was a absolute blessing-!


Roses...

mom made me a beautiful bouquet of roses with diamonds, I felt like it was my wedding bouquet and that I should be walking down an aisle...

 
"How far a simple thought can go when put into action."

Nieces
hanging out with my dolls for the day.
What a blessing children are, and what a privilege for me to get to love on them!
I never tire of hearing their chatter, giggles, coos, rambling talk...

Indy...
Went with friends to WinterJam in Indiana, a concert that's ten bucks to hear ten artist! DEAL!!
Walking back to our spot in line with, I looked up to see a face that I recognized!
Blew my mind! All the way over here in Indy and I see someone that went to first year at the Bible Institute while I was in my second year.
 
 

 
 

 
Boarder...
Stopped in at some of my friend's house and stayed the night.
I met them for the first time at the last weekend of Recharge!
They are literally right on my way home!
What a blessing to know friends across the world!
 
 
Galatians 5:22-26 
 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
