For the time being you can find me here:

As some of you may know, I am flying to Honduras on Monday to meet up with Kimberlee and Indi (2 girls from college, and dear friends of mine) to do missions work overseas. I AM PUMPED. They are both down there already and are waiting for me to arrive. I could not be more excited.

So, until mid July, you can read about the Lord's work in our lives in Honduras at the link above. Either myself, Kim, or Indi will be updating it regularly.

I am so thankful that the Lord has so faithfully led me to go on this trip with my close friends and I am looking forward to getting there Monday. I am also nervous because I will be flying alone for the first time. And I just left camp, so it's going to be a weird adjustment at first. I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store!

LIfe update from beautiful Chatt town

Well, it is a Saturday away from camp and I had a break to update a bit.

Camp has been amazing so far, which I knew it would be, but I think i had forgotten how MUCH i love it and missed it.My camp friends are excellent, so encouraging, and SO fun. I laugh all the time when I'm around them. It is such a blessing to be surrounded by such great girls and guys. Love them.

The Lord has just filled me with joy as I have been in Chatt these weeks. I've had such a good time. And I think I am becoming more myself as i go along, that sounds weird but thats what it seems like. I am going to be sad to leave.. but I also know that the Lord wants me in Honduras as well. It's going to be/already is a great summer.

I got to talk with my co, Kelsey Bull alot this week about our faith, struggles, and what the Lord has taught us. It is crazy that the Lord brought us together all the way from Memphis and Ohio to Chattanooga to be together in a cabin loving on girls. I am so grateful.

This weekend in chatt has been great so far. I ate Panera for lunch with camp friends, then Mark and Shawn came up here (yay!!) from their camp in Georgia and we went to the Aquarium and got starbucks and talked about life. I had missed those dear friends. Weird that we are going to be juniors. Then we went to RockCreek down under and looked around then they headed back to their camp. Now i am resting( MUCH needed). Dinner tonight at Amigos with camp buds. A good weekend for sure.

I miss Memphis, but I love Chattanooga. I miss Leo, luckily I got a picture that said "Leo" today while we were out- so funny.

I shared my testimony to the whole camp last week, it was good to tell it again. I love sharing the Lord's work in my life. I think hearing peoples testimonies tell ALOT about them. Alot.

Well, it's about nap time. (much needed).

Summer rocks.

Chatt town

Well I have been in beautiful Chattanooga since Saturday now just chillin with Kirk and her roommates before I head to camp tomorrow. It has been a ton of fun so far! I am so thankful I was able to ride up here with her and stay here for the weekend before camp starts.

Exciting things/ randos that have happened thus far on my journey:

painted the living room, alot
became obsessed with quesedilla makers
went to a Presbyterian church, where I saw Caleb Park... that was very interesting
went to Wal-mart 4 times in 24 hours
slept on a futon
went on a midnight bike ride
listened to some old school rap
met some great Chatt people

I am looking forward to getting to camp tomorrow though and seein all my old friends. I really love Chattanooga.
