Celebration of Hope

This is long overdue but life got in the way of blogging. Back in April I had the opportunity to attend the Celebration of Hope in Belfast. And it truely was a celebration of hope! So many new beginnings, so many eager to find true meaning in life, so many forgiven and made whole again.
The Odyssey Arena was packed every night and there were lots of awesome musicians (29th Chapter, Robin Mark, Tree63, Keith & Kristyn Getty, the New Irish Orchestra) and inspiring life stories and interviews. It was so moving to see the audience embracing hope and a new life in Christ!

Safe Travel

A lot of prayer goes into our road trips because I tend to worry much when traveling; I am thankful for safe travels on our 1350-mile drive north over the last few days. The weather was beautiful, we had time to do a bit of sightseeing, the roads were empty, and we saw many lovely birds. Now a blizzard warning is in effect, so I'm especially thankful that we've arrived!
