The Bible Passage
One of the first nights in Greece I was really homesick, so I got out the Bible my mom had sent with me. It’s actually my Dad’s travel Bible. There is a piece of paper in the Bible that had two verses written on it, so I looked them up and they just fit so…

Pictures of Greece
Greece was beautiful. It was cold while we were there, but the country side is just gorgeous. I loved how green everything was, especially after having just left Canada where everything is white with snow.

The Refugees
The refugees are remarkably beautiful. The women have long wavy hair that is super glossy and many, many of them (men too) have gorgeous hazel or blue green eyes. It’s so striking against their dark hair and skin. The little children are ridiculously cute. It was so fun to watch the little kids playing; children…

Skala Sykamineas
When our team finally managed to make it out to the camp we went for a 24 hour shift. It was actually three shifts, all stacked on top of each other. We arrived around three o’clock in the afternoon. The site supervisor, Laura, walked us through the different stations and we decided where we would…

Greece
I am back in Canada! I arrived in Calgary a week ago, and boy is it good to be home. I loved my time in Greece, but there really is no place like home! As some of you know, I went to Greece on a missions trip. I was on the island of Lesvos for…

Christmas Traditions
Christmas traditions. We all have them don’t we? I love this season. It’s cold outside, and snow is blowing, yet we are warm and cozy in our homes with our family close by. Full of love and comfort. Life seems to slow down, and we appreciate all that God has given us. We see how…

Deeper Still
As I go deeper into the ladies Bible study I am a part of, and learn God’s divine design for women, oh how my heart aches. How great my shortcomings. God is so good, and I am so, so wrong. He reveals my shortcomings, my sin, and the walls I have built between us. How…
