Colorado. Driving (July 21)


I find myself on a bus (of sorts) driving from Denver, CO to Franklin, NE. Tomorrow we will drive the remaining miles to Mishawauka, IN. In case you are curious, there is a lot of nothing on the road from Colorado to Nebraska. A thunderstorm awaits us in the skies ahead and the aroma of prairie and rain lingers in the air. It is very simply…glorious.

It’s been awhile since the last time new words have made their way to this page. But not for lack of life or desire. Again, decisions were made to pursue rare moments of rest or engage in the life going on around me. The past few weeks have been very full and ushered me to the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Indiana, Chicago, Minneapolis and back to Colorado. Amazing stories will be shared (along with pictures) over the next few weeks.

The Experience is now over and the four girls that I have grown to love and treasure have returned home. As they journey back to the life they are familiar with, they return with new hearts that have encountered the love of Christ in life changing ways. And my life will not be the same as it once was. I have been forever marked by their presence.

Today’s drive is launching the last summer program with Kingdom Building Ministries – 16 Days. The team that is traveling together now will meet up with eight high school students in Indiana. From there we will travel to Chicago, Minneapolis, Franklin Nebraska, and Denver Colorado. Our hope is that over these next days they encounter God in deep ways that forever impact their response to the life they have been gifted with.
