Springish

Spring is here!
I'm a small town East Texas girl who now presides in one of the biggest cities in Texas, and sometimes, I miss home. I miss not having to lock my door during the day. I miss going on walks and seeing people who I've known since birth. And I miss the East Texas Spring--A lot.
There are simply not enough flowers outdoors where I live now. So, I'm getting inspired to bring floral indoors to make my life a little more colorful.

For those of you who feel the same, maybe this will put a little Spring in your step.






Happy Spring, Everyone.

Love Remains

AFRICA.

I went recently on a mission trip with my friends organization called Arise Africa to Lusaka, Zambia.
I have been meaning to post about my journey there, but the real world has pulled me away from writing. So...I am now sitting down. I am now at my computer. And I am now going to tell you as best I can of a life changing experience in a beautiful country. It is a country where death is not far away, but where living life to the fullest is not hard to do. And where the people seemingly don't have anything, but a better look reveals they have everything. A country where I learned the true meaning of Faith, Sacrifice, and most of all--Love.







Of all the things that we gave these people on our trip: new classrooms, supplies, clothing, food--nothing could repay what they gave us. We were everyone's family for two weeks, accepted and loved unconditionally. I will now live with the understanding of what it means to live like there is no tomorrow. And to know--to really know-- that this life is so temporary, and that God's love for us and our love for others what matters most.

" Now these three remain: Faith, Hope and Love--but the Greatest of these is Love."-I Corinthians 13:13
