Today brings with it the start of a new month. It's also the beginning of a season of ever-changing scenery for Niel and I. We'll be traveling quite a bit, and my online time will be scarce if not non-existent. When I do get a chance to blog, I know I'll have much to share. During the month of October, I'll be...

...going on safari with some of our interns and their visiting family members. Warmer weather and elephants await us!

...celebrating ten years of ministry with our staff team at a nearby lake resort. Ten whole years?! I still can't believe it.

...attending Willow Creek's Global Leadership Summit with our staff and interns. We're staying in holiday apartments right on the Indian Ocean and even spending a day at a water park!

...spending two weeks in my Grandma's hometown of Palermo, Sicily. Niel is taking me for my 30th birthday and our 8th wedding anniversary. I. Can't. Wait.

I am blessed!
