Sometimes, we learn lessons about ourselves through everyday things. This time, God used sidewalk repairs to teach me a little about hope.

2 years in a flash. One moment I was dreaming about what it would be like to live and serve overseas and the next it seemed I was back in Oregon after doing the thing, only there was a lot in the middle too.  And that’s where all the good stuff is… right in the middle. 

My uneven breathing, pounding heart and shaky hands are dead give-aways to vulnerability when I am emotionally exposed, and they seem to catch me off-guard every time.

From the beginning, I had a strong sense two years would fly by, but I didn’t expect it to feel simultaneously like a second and a lifetime.

For Christians world-wide, the season of Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection is full of meaning and attached traditions. The Church in Bulgaria has no shortage of celebrations …

A flat tire reminds me how far we’ve come since moving to Bulgaria years ago.

Aside from getting around the city, public vehicles have allowed me to commune with myself, people, and God.

Sharing holiday traditions at our Rockin’ English club is a fun way to deepen friendships and create special memories.
