Grand Rapids, Michigan

Hosanna Choir in Conert in
Grand Rapids, MI - April 25th, 2014
5 of us drove down together and found a beautiful camp-site for the weekend
Yes, it was a little early!
Yes, it was a little cold!
But it was a lot cheaper than staying in a hotel!

We were right on the river, this was our view
Monkeying around 
Warming up
Our Campsites

We got there a few hours early, so we made use of our time


There was a small trail on the back of the campsite... a great place to reflect, a great place to slow down and process life... God is still on the throne

Every time we hopped in the car, the guys were asleep instantly!

The Grand Rapids Library - so wish we could have gone in. By the time we came out of pre-rehearsal
it was closed
Park Congregational Church - Such a beautiful place
On the way home we stopped in Lansing, MI
walked around the city all afternoon - saw the state building and all the beautiful churches in the city.
The architecture was amazing


On top of the city
All layered up - the parking garage
The Capitol Building - lets jump it!
The Beautiful Gateway


The Old Train Station




So this was us - Grand Rapids, Lansing, and a few adventures in between

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 ...

I will be Mrs. Tallman ...background story!

Our story began August 20th, 2017 when through a fluke we got paired up to work a 12 hour shift together. Benjamin proved to be an incredible listener and super easy to talk to. This one shift turned into many more as Ben went to the supervisor (unbeknownst to me) requesting the same schedule. These shifts proved to be a highlight in my week and I couldn't wait to get on the truck every other Sunday with Benjamin. I cannot tell you when we started dating, but our first time meeting up to study (outside of work) was October 12th after school in a Starbucks in Grimsby, ON. Benjamin was a once in a lifetime friend and I was growing to admire and respect the man I saw in him. Finally, our school semester was over and we were able to spend a bit more time together and getting to know each others families. He fit into my family so well from day one. My siblings adored him as he took time to listen to them and be interested in their lives! Christmas together was amazing...and then it was ...
