Belonging
The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in
temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he
himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. And he made from one man every na?on
of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allo@ed periods and the
boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him
and nd him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us. (Acts 17:24-27, ESV)

Do you ever feel like you dont belong where you are? Like life is going on around you and you
just dont t? Like you cant nd anywhere you might t? I felt like that recently. I love being in
Lincolnton, but was feeling like I didnt belong because this is just temporary, everyone else has
their place and mine is in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Atlanta is great. I have so many friends
there. I belonged there for seven years before moving to PNG. But everyone has moved on. I
dont exactly t in their lives anymore, and I dont have work there. And looking ahead to
what Ill be doing in PNG, I nd that its not going to look like I imagined, even though I knew
they sFll have a need for me.

A couple weeks in to my pity party, I read the verse above. And God spoke to me you belong
with Me, no maWer where you are. This Earth is not your home. I placed you here to do my
will. And that can be done no maWer where you are. Wherever you are, grow in my
knowledge, love those around you, live in my truth, and preach the Gospel. Thats it. Thats all
I require of you.

My sister, Jessica, and Sam are

Pray for them as they prepare for

As of right now, I sFll need monthly

The high schoolers in our community in PNG just had their annual retreat weekend, called
Encounter, last week. I havent been a part of it before, but hearing stories and seeing pictures of
this years event has goWen me so excited to be a part of it next year! StarFng in January, Ill be
teaching at the Secondary Campus and volunteering as a leader for the youth. Praise the Lord with
me that we have such a great group who love Jesus and want to see His name renowned. Pray for
them as they go from this event in their new knowledge of God and live their lives in light of it.

the journey : autumn 2015

I probably had the most

fun summer of anyone in
the whole world! :) Here
are some highlights

Sunsets have always been a love of mine. Ive

seen a lot of fantastic ones lately! This one was of
the Eastern sky at the beach - sometimes its more
beautiful than looking West!

My super-cute nephew turned 1

in August. I really do have the
cutest nephews in the world.
And we just found out that my
brother and sister-in-law are
expecting a third baby in April!

In September, I got to spend a few days at Myrtle

Beach with my parents and grandparents!
I loved being a part of the
cast of Annie Get Your
Gun in Atlanta!

In August, thanks to many sky miles with Delta, I got to

take an epic vacation to visit several friends around the
country! The Smiths (1) live in Northern California, and
we visited Oregon to camp and see Crater Lake (2) - it
was breathtaking! We served in PNG together for a
couple years. The Botes (with whom I went to college)
live in Denver, CO, one of my favorite places in the
world. We trekked to a glacier, and Stacie and I
climbed 2 fourteeners in one day (4)! Anna and I (5)
worked together in Atlanta for several years, and now
she lives in Dallas, TX. We got to hang out for a few
days before I headed back to North Carolina!
