Beginning of a Journey

Just a little introduction to the many blog posts that follow:

It is my reasoning that those of you who would like to know a little (or a lot) of what happened and the things I was able to experience on my trip to South Africa/Swaziland will read my ramblings.

The rest of you... well hope you will at least look at some of the pictures, and if you're even THINKING of making a trip and just keep putting it off - STOP RIGHT NOW!

If you have the time/money/means DO IT RIGHT NOW!

YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT

On December 14th at 8:30pm James and I boarded a plane for Munich, Germany!
I was really looking forward to touring the city just a little...ok maybe more than a little, but travelling for 10 hours has its toll on you

The only map I had to make sure we didn't get lost - should have stopped at information, but a guy on the bus to the city filled me in on all the important stuff in Munchen.

Us just being tourists

You always hear how expensive Europe is, but to truly understand it you must go!

Loved the history jam packed in this incredibly HUMONGOUS and beautiful city.
One thing that I didn't like was everywhere you walked it smelled like cigars! People smoke there like they drink coffee here! I smelled terrible getting back to the airport, but at least I was just travelling with my brother!

Nothing to traditionally German, but it hit the spot.
Side Note: Their coffee is AMAZING (to die for). It better have it cost me $5 for a regular coffee!

New Years - I was sick again, so I was home alone, while everyone went else where to ring in the New Year! A good time to reflect on the happenings, excitement, disappointments, blessings, and most of all His faithfulness! A lot to remember, be thankful for, but 2013 is past, and although it brought much joy and some of the happiest most fulfilled moments, times - this is 2014 and I'm excited to see what He w

I Am Your Shield

This is a song that has been a great encouragement to me and so I wanted to share it with all of you, hoping that it will minister to you and encourage you on... even during the dark times! May He give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of those secret places! I Am Your Shield Rachel Wissman My child are you discouraged By the sorrows of the day Does it seem like life is crumbing The skies have turned to grey Don’t forget I gave you promises to guide you every hour In the moment of your heartbreak Let me show you my great power And I will be your shield When the battle rages on And I will be your light when the way ahead is dark I will be your strong tower And guide you every hour Just place your life completely in my hand I know it won’t be easy I never said it would But my grace will always be there My plans for you are good Remember that your weaknesses are perfect in my sight Only when you yield them to me can I turn
