America the Beautiful

The roadtrip of a lifetime is officially over now and my spirit is sighing. I am so happy that God gave me the opportunity to minister with emergeJustice and travel my country. So here's a recap of where we went and some memories attatched to each place:

Illinois: RC Cola and ketchup covered ham

Indiana: Monroe city girls, walking at midnight on the highway we didn't know was a highway, our first real setup that took 5 hours, and the most amazing cornfields ever

Ohio: Shane and Tara Jette, haunted woods, Impact World Tour, 3 churches in one morning, and the ghost lady at the ancient bed and breakfast.

Pennsylvania: The Hamm family, almost beating Nick and Josh at basketball, Lancaster, divine appointment at Fifth Quarter and the sweet man who helped get our van started so we could go, Lebanon base and all that entails. Philadelphia :)

New York: Best venue ever...most excited crowd. Smithtown-the youth group that was so hungry for God and the Christian school that surprised me. NYC: crazy adventure seeing Shiloh and avoiding creepy men. Missing the subway and crying over cinnamon rolls and ice cream :)

Maryland/Delaware/DC: Meeting Carlyn's friends, amazing service at Pastor Matt's church, seeing Yak, and having my first hot dog from a vendor.

Virginia: Richmond, election, Katie's sprained ankle, 2 year old Jordan pooping on me, coffee at Avinell's, Vinny and family, hammock and coffee.

North Carolina: Charlotte, lots of amazing YWAMer's, thrift store, and staying out in the boondocks.

Georgia: The Dirty South! Staying with Grover's family who are amazing, going to Casting Crown's church, presentation at the Christian school, Charity's surprise birthday party, seeing my wonderful friend Sara, almost burning down Grover's house with a candle and a stack of underwear, and just enjoying being with my team :)

Tennessee: Raven neck tattoo, Krystal's, Knoxville and all the wonderful people at the Father's House, saying goodbye to Grover.

Arkansas: Seeing my family, introducing my team to my grandparents, YWAM Ozarks, last late night gas station stop.

Well, there's a little taste of the last few months. I know a lot of those memories might seem random and make no sense to anyone but I treasure each one. I will never forget what God did these past few months and all of the amazing people He introduced me to.
