welcome.

sooo hi blog world.

i have to admit that this blog has been a long time coming. i am not sure where to start with this whole endeavor so let's just get this first post over with and start with an update of sorts. (which may be funny because the people who maaaay be reading this probably know more about my life than this could provide but I don't know where else to start..grace is needed before I get this blog thing down..)

update at large:

- where: since college: g-rap. a really great pastor calls it the epicenter of progressive culture. i agree and say it is one of the best cities in the US of A. not biased at all.

- employment: am finishing up my 1 year work at Bethany Christian Services in refugee foster care. I have 7 mondays left.. not that i'm counting.

- future excitement (aka the real reason for this blog): in less than 4 months. specifically January of 2011. I will be journeying to NAKURU, KENYA and will be living there, amongst babies and people I already love for 4 months. I am going to work with His Cherished Ones (hischerishedones.org) and am beyond excited to see what God has for me there (much more of this to come, i'm sure)

- ultimately though this blog will hopefully be hilarious (duh) and informative i hope to display ways I am able to see God's awesome Kingdom in everything I am doing.

random fact updates:

- i have an incredible appreciation for tivo. the lack of commercials (though this has decreased my commercial critique skills) and the ability to watch shows when convenient such as SNL on sunday afternoon, is genius.

- i love fall. i don't think i'll ever get sick of cool weather, layering and apple picking.

- taylor university homecoming= t-5 days. never have been so excited to go to the middle of Indiana. (actually probably every time i go there i'm equally as excited)

- i am purchasing tickets to travel to kenya this week.

welp, there we go. first post done....here's hoping this gets easier.

grace and peace to you.
