the last three months.

[corey and hope Geysbeek, old friends from Grand Rapids who now live in Alaska. Taught me that I love photography. and what simplicity was. and love.]

[Jamin. lives 2 miles away from me. but I really got to know him in Alaska. taught me about having brothers in Christ and that it's okay to love other boys as brothers. we haven't gone as far as the holy kiss tho.]

[i learned to fart out loud with these two girls who I roomed with in Alaska. learned vulnerability from Brittany and honesty from Barb.]

[Karla taught me about being holy. She is perhaps one of the most pure people I have ever met. And yet. She is fiesty and alive and full of fun. She is coming to visit this weekend.]

[Kristen taught me about unconditional love, and friendship, and what it means to be lovely. She is one of those friends that stick closer than a brother. I also learned, cleaning up puke is fun.]

[Went with Danny after Alaska to visit Brooke who has taught me so much about real life and flowing on the living water that God moves you in. we dined jamaican and rested in her lovely home while she and her Tim gave us marriage tips and taught me better how to love my man.]

[i wrote this man letters while I was gone in Alaska. and how good it was to be in his arms again. He has taught me what it looks like to fight. He has learned what it looks like to cherish me. I am learning what it means to respect and honor the man of God that He is. God is moving.]

[and I am delighted to be home]

[I dont have a picture of the Harangoza's yet because Christina kept hiding her face, but, they are wonderful and honest and real and generous and such servants. Dave has taught me about being a servant and Christina has taught me about giving and going the extra mile and being a princess. This is the king of the house. Nebby.]

[and this is Jessica, one of my new favorite people. who has taught me about humility and just being honest with herself so as to really love who she is and let other people love her. I have watched God transform her in a few weeks. 

and. we now share a bathroom.]
