Romans 8:17
"and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him"

To My Small Group,

I just want you all to know how much I love you. Matthew and I have been praying for each of you and burdened for you also. As I read this verse it reminded me that each of you are children of God, which means we're family! I love that! Erica, Katherine, Laura, Ashely, Nancy, Becca, Nessy you are my sisters!
This is such a blessing to me. Each of you have amazing gifts that God has blessed you with. Katherine, your gentle and quiet spirit (even though you are not always quiet :) ) reminds me of the Titus and how God tells us to be. you always make me smile :) Becca you make people feel at ease with your huge personality and how funny you are. :) Nancy you are a darling and smart person :) Erica you are so great and good humored, seriously I love the FFA so much more now! Always be you because it is so special :) Ashely, you are such a compassionate and beautiful person. I love the way you talk and how your willing to do anything GOd asks of you. Thanks for woking out with me :) Nessy, you have such a willing spirit to do anything for anyone, your giving heart is an amazing gift to me :) Laura, I love your eager heart and how much you love people.
Of course each of you have WAY more gifts than just that, your all so talented and I feel so blessed to have you as my sisters and in my small group!
Thank you for your willingness to serve Christ with all you have.

Never forget we are always here for you, we want to suffer with you and grow with you!

Love you all tons!

Missions!

Matthew and I have been praying a lot about going over seas this year to tell people about Christ. We have decided to join our church in a mission trip to Haiti! We are so very excited! There is an orphanage there, The Canaan Orphanage, that our church supports and is heavily involved with.
Savannah has lived with a couple this past semester that adopted a little boy from this orphanage.
Joseph (that is his name) has a very special place in our hearts and so does this orphanage.
As many of you know, Matthew and I want to work in an orphanage as missionaries one day. We love working with kids, children amaze us. They have such pure beautiful hearts and are eager to know about their Savior Jesus Christ. But there are so many places in the world where children will never here of Christ before they leave this earth, because of starvation, disease, and being homeless.
Matthew and I have a passion to help children in these situations, we fully believe in Christ's power to change their lives. Even if the children never remember our names we pray and hope that because of us they will know and remember the Lord's name. There is a huge need and we want to be used to ehlp in this need.
We believe one of the first steps to doing this is praying for these children, being burdened for orphans as Jesus tells us to be (James 1:27). We also believe that this takes action, this is where our mission trip comes in. We want to go and be used by God for the sake of the kingdom. God means everything to us, His mission means everything to us, our entire lives are about Christ, What a blessing! We want others to also know this blessing for themselves! We want to have children grow up and tell others about this incredible lifestyle!
We believe its time to take our passion to the field :) and we couldn't be more excited! We feel so so blessed that God will use us, and humbled that he has given us so much that we know we don't deserve.

So please pray for us! We need it and covet your prayers. Nothing blesses our hearts more than to think of you going before our LORD and Savior on our behalf. What a testimony to have that people pray for us. Thank you!
Also if you would like to support us financially or by sending us encouraging letters please send it to:
