On Babies, Polly Pockets, and God's Goodness

God is good.So, so good.This is a fact. Not a theory, belief, or a fairy tale. A fact. A fact - unchanging, regardless whether you or I choose to believe that it is such or not.It's easy for that to fade into the background of our mind when we're in the midst of trials. It's easy for us to be tempted to blame...

Becoming a Master Juggler

Girls, or the female gender in general, are incredible multitaskers. Or so they say. If that truly is the case, I must be the exception that proved the role. It's a known thing in my family that I cannot multitask well. If I'm on the phone and someone else tries to ask me a question, I am no longer able to listen to...

And Time Ticks On

This Friday will mark four weeks since I arrived back on Haitian soil. It feels like forever and yet as though I was just leaving home a few days ago...time is an illusive thing anywhere, but seems even more so here. We have been insanely busy lately with more patients this month than any other month this year. I'm staying busy with bandage...

A Clan Gathered

They came, from The South and from The West, to a beauteous mountain range known as the Rockies, in a fair land called Colorado. "They" were my family, and the occasion was our annual family vacation. A week of laughter, debating, tickle matches, fierce Xbox battles, hugs, teasing, eating, catching up on each other's lives and enjoying a welcome break from the pressures of...

Things That I've Learned

Hopefully I've learned much more than ten things over the years, but that's the number that comes to mind at the moment, mostly because I've either just learned them, or they were recently reinforced. So, without further ado, I give you ten things. 1) If you sing loudly while driving a golf cart after dark, there is a high likelihood that a bug...

Tidbits of Life in Tennessee

I held a conversation today that tickled me to no end, so I thought that I would share at least part of it with y'all. It went as follows: Him: Hello! Me: Hello! Him: Hello. Me: Hello. Him: Hello! Me: Hello! Him: Hello. Me: Hello. This went on for quite some time until I decided to try switching things up a bit. Him:...

Cap Haitian Trip

I know, I know....it's been a long time since I've posted on here again. I had hoped that I would have some time while we were on vacation to catch up with this and some emails that have been needing to be written. All my wonderful plans, however, sorta fell be the wayside when we actually got to Cap Haitian. Between just flat-out...

I'm So Happy

Whit and Dominique laughed at me because that is what I keep repeating as I opened my box from home this afternoon. Over, and over, and over again. Gifts mean a lot to me. Especially when I can tell that the person took the time to find something that they really thought I would like. And especially since I live so far away,...

On Beaches, Bunnies, and Guys-Who-Can't-Run-Machetes

Okay, so I decided when I created this blog that I was NOT going to be one of those bloggers who always seemed to forget that they had a blog. I was creating a blog for one reason: to keep my family and friends updated- and I intended to post on my blog. I mean how hard could sitting down for a bit...

A Good Day for a Hike

-That was Saturday. A group of us young people here at the mission decided to hike to see "The Waterfall". :o) Actually, it was all the blan staff minus Steve's- except for Whit, who had to stay because it was her turn to be on call at the clinic. So a group of five girls, three boys, three horses, and various other small...

Here's to firsts...

My first time really-truly leaving home, my first time being away from my family for more than two weeks, my first blog, my first post on said blog....this is all a bit new, so please, have patience with me. :o) I'm going to assume that, if you are bothering to read this, you know me. Which means that you probably already know the...
