thank to the ful(l)


  • friendship with the barrs that will last long beyond their days on the ship
  • coffee and doughnuts
  • time with the wall family before they depart
  • decking the decks...6th grade boys happily decorating.  a 1st grader and a 9th grader playing in a cardboard box. chicken fingers & fries as an extra incentive.  


  • carly's time here
  • pointless (not out of date) magazines to enjoy 
  • listening to patricia share her stories of when God spoke to her
  • when people joyfully serve behind the scenes and make so many special moments happen.


  • cheesesticks for takeaway (how many times are cheesesticks going to make one of my lists?!)
  • ipod that allows for emailing when the computer isn't cooperating
  • how Molly lives her life - glorifying God every day - not perfectly (cause that's never what's expected) but beautifully, faithfully, consistently
  • our amazing malagasy crew...their beautiful voices...their incredible hearts...their powerful stories...their determination


  • listening to eli and a friend play and being reminded that 11 year olds can still be little boys
  • listening as God was saying "go downstairs"...and then finding a friend who encouraged and prayed for me
  • brave and courageous decisions (and the friend who made one this week)
  • emma's last night of being 6.
