Repalle, India

Two weeks ago I was accepted to be part of Trinity International University's India Missions Team. We will be going to Repalle, India for a little over two weeks; the cost of the trip is approximately $2700. We will be working with a group called India Rural Evangelical Fellowship (IREF). During our time there we will be living and working among the students who are attending the multiple schools sponsored by IREF. This will mean daily interaction with thousands of Indian youth who are living on-campus. Our primary focus while there will be evangelism in the forms of: music, drama, preaching, and dance. https://mytrinity.tiu.edu/tag.b6d4a15006585a61.render.userLayoutRootNode.target.u47l1n87.uP?item=0

I am so looking forward to this trip and am extremely excited to see what God has in store-not only for the people of Repalle, but myself as well! We leave December 28, 2010 and return January 9, 2011. Please pray for safety, unity, and sufficient funds, as well as a willingness to serve and learn! They will be much appreciated, and coveted.

If' you'd like to learn how you can support us financially, please contact me via this blog and I will let you know what you can do.

God bless!

Long time, no write

I am BACK! I can no longer use the excuse of graduate school and internship and moving twice in six months as reasons not to keep up with my Blog. So, quick update: board certification exam passed (Nov '15), graduated from grad school (April '16,) moved back home & took a part-time music therapy job & weekend receptionist job while job searching for a full-time (April-June '16), went from a FL girl back to a MI girl when I got my full-time position (Nov '16), and I now have a dog (Nov '16). Originally I had created this blog to document my world travels; I had huge aspirations. I am slowly realizing that "Going Somewhere" doesn't necessarily have to be a physical journey, but can be a mental, emotional, or spiritual journey as well. While I may not be exploring the ends of the Earth in my current stage of life, I am exploring myself and my new role as an "official adult." As an "official adult" my thoughts are occup...

Easter Baking Frenzy

Image
On Easter weekend, in between church, enjoying the sunny outdoors with the pup, cleaning, and family lunch, I was in a baking frenzy. A while back I had purchased King Arthur Flour's Unbleached Whole Wheat Flour and a small package of their organic unbleached all-purpose flour. After searching for several weeks for yeast-free recipes, not being content with what I was finding and wanting to make, I caved and picked up instant yeast from Aldi. After scouring Pinterest and Google, I stumbled on a recipe for Honey Oat Whole Wheat Bread. Oh. My. Gosh. Not only was this an easy recipe to follow, but the smell as it was baking...so good. I ended up making 2 loaves, of course the 2nd turned out much better than the first (which is great because it wasn't for me!) Making this without a KitchenAid or hand mixer made me a tad bit nervous initially. BUT, I figured if my great-grandmother could make killer/famous multi-grain bread without a mixer, I can make a little loaf of Honey O...

Timelines

So in the past 2.5 weeks I received what I classified as "disappointing news." Good news: I have completed my music therapy internship! Bad news: I won't be going before the University IRB until August, and the hospital's IRB until November. Bad news continues: I won't be able to begin collecting my data until Christmas break - approximately the first 3 weeks in December. Bad news: I now cannot complete my thesis until the Spring semester. Bad news: I don't graduate with my M.M. until May 2016. Good news: I can sit for the CBMT whenever I want. Good news: I have (for at least the Fall semester) a graduate assistantship. Good news: I have an entire school year to work on my thesis, rather than a semester. Good news: I have some part-time contract work with the hospital for a few weeks. Potential good news: I might be able to get some work through a private practice. Bad news: I have to leave a town I love, and the friends I've made in...
