Somehow 2009 is already nearing its end. The year has flown by! I was thinking today of all the incredible experiences I’ve been able to accumulate this past year. 

I saw God work in huge ways, in my life and in the lives of those around me. I traveled a lot…made 48 flights to be exact and made memories in 8 countries. 

I thought I’d share a little snippet of my 2009. Part 1 of “Accumulate experiences!” will be a re-cap of my international memories whereas part 2 will include the fun experiences I’ve had in the US this past year. J

Granada, Nicaragua

 
Fell in love with hammocks.

 
Was reminded what true JOY is by 3 little girls playing in a plaza fountain without a care in the world. 

Experienced the Kingdom with our team there as they invested time and energy into local youth.
 
Libera, Costa Rica

watched the most beautiful sunset over the crashing waves. Stayed at a hostel called Hotel Chocolate J. 

Flew through the jungle on a zip line. Spent some time relaxing with the team on their spring break.

 

London, England

got bored during a layover and ventured into the city to take a 4 hour tour of all the local favorite sites on a double decker red bus.

Mijas, Spain

spent 4 days with the students at the G42 Leadership Academy, soaking in truth; enjoying café & meaningful conversations about the Kingdom.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Took in the beautiful sights strolling through the village of Mijas, overlooking the Mediterrean.
 


Kiev, Ukraine

navigated the subway & streets of Kiev and got lost 4 days in a row traveling the same exact route each day. 

Celebrated with a World Race squad as they finished their 11 month journey.

Brasov, Romania
 

broke bread with a lonely woman on the street and had my heart broken as the Lord gave me His heart for her. 

Spent time in Brasov, advertised as “probably the best city in the world.”
 

Heard incredible stories from a World Race squad halfway through their 11 month journey.

Isabella, Puerto Rico

took 25 high school students to Isabella, PR to pour out God’s love and experience Him working on this beautiful island. 

Matamoras, Mexico

spent several weeks in Mexico with our 9 month teams and leaders. Had a blast getting to know and watching them grow. 

Met the world’s largest Elmo piñata. 

God has blessed me in so many ways this year. He is always surprising me and I can’t wait to see where He leads me in 2010! Thank you for your love and support!!
