Wonderful Summertime!





I just got back today from a wonderful weekend in Hilton Head!! It was such an encouraging trip! I was able to stop by and see Leah, Joshua's sister, on my way into town and then spend the next couple days with some of my dearest friends! I haven't had that much fun in a while! It was so refreshing to catch up with each of these dear women, especially Meredyth, April, Jenna, Tara, Elizabeth, and Liz. The Lord has used each of them to spur and encourage me in my walk with Christ. Even though we are separated by distance, I love that every time I reconnect with them I am CLOSER to them because we are all growing in Christ and HE is the center of our friendships!

This ones for Madeline :) I wanted to have some good sandels for India so I finally broke down and purchased my first pair of Chaco's, and I love them! Thanks for your influence Mad!





I am getting so excited for India! The Lord has opened so many doors to make this possible! I leave in less than 6 weeks! I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to finally see and experience India after reading and learning so much about the country and the people. I'm sure I'll learn and see more in these 3 weeks than in all the years of preparation thus far. Joshua and I are also very excited to be reunited! We previously thought that it would not be until December so this is simply an added blessing! My sweet friend Becky from ECBC is letting me borrow several of her outfits until I can go shopping myself in India!



I am so blessed to live in Charleston! This was taken early last week at Sullivan's Island. I was able to have some wonderful "alone" time at the beach after our first block exam of the summer! He never ceases to amaze me with His beauty!
