God and a Guitar

For the past 12 or so hours I have written and re-written every event that has happened over the past month, but to be honest at this moment none of those events matter in my heart. The one thing that keeps ringing throughout my head is that God is so so good. One of the many things I absolutely love about my team is that when it's needed most all we ever have really needed is God and a guitar.

Lacking so much, it has never...

Shout out from the Expedition Girls!

After one heck of an AMAZING, stretching, challenging, and life changing month in the interior Maasi bush of Kenya ….   The Africa Expediton Girls are back in civilization! Since leaving Georgia a month ago: our beds have been the ground. our rooms has been tents. our roof has been the most beautiful stars you've ever seen, our alarm clocks have been goats and sheep at 4:30AM. our character builder (among many) — being a human buffet for fleas. our best friends have been Maasi children and families. and Jesus has showed up to exceed our prayers, hopes, and...
