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
My Handsome brother

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 ...

2017 seemed to be a year full of new adventures and "firsts"! I hadn't been home for all the hustle and bustle of Christmas for 5 years and boy did I ever miss it!

South Africa 2016

This is a super overdue post and I struggled to find the pictures I wanted to add, but here is what I came up with...ENJOY! I surprised my younger brother by purchasing an airline ticket months in advance, but waited to tell him he was coming with me till a week or so before. He had been talking about wanting to travel with me to South Africa, and I was so glad that it worked out! You're never too young to experience these things in life! James (and clan) dropped us off at the airport - So appreciated this, as parking and flying wasn't the most ideal for a four week trip. I booked our layover for Switzerland as I had a friend I wanted to visit, as well as Switzerland had been on my bucket list of places to explore! My friend picked us up from the airport and brought us back to her place for breakfast and a quick shower! She had the whole day planned out so well. We visited the Carma Chocolate Academy  which is where they make and produce the chocolate for all...
