Month: February 2013

This past week has been an incredible chance for my body to heal itself. I began to get sick almost three weeks ago and as of this past Sunday I was preparing to head to the doctor. Instead I got to rest while Kansas City was visited by two large snows! Snowzilla and Snowzilla #2! Or whatever you would like to call it. Two feet of snow later I spent a lot of time resting, reading, and catching up on life!

 Hope City was cancelled many of these past few days and so I didn’t even have to strain my vocal chords and sing before I was ready. We are hoping tomorrow night we will be back on for our 8:00pm set, but I am very thankful for the much needed break for my body to get back to normal.

I also spent a lot of this past week cooking! Something I haven’t gotten to do in months! I made pumpkin muffins, crock-pot chili, cornbread muffins, good for you brownies, sweet potato/potato soup (soooo good), and I probably put on five pounds but for good reason!

I have the ambition to pursue more writing and photography in the near future so I took lots of pictures of the snow and my neighborhood. Some of these pictures were shot through the kitchen window but if I can find an angle I shoot it! Hope you enjoy them!

Did you get the snow? What have you been doing this past week for fun? Send your pictures and stories or even recipes. I would love to hear from you! Glad to say I have been feeling good and that I got out of my house today. Talk to you soon!

Life is a journey! We do not always understand everything along the road of life but I have learned to not take anything for granted. Last year while I was sitting at my favorite coffee shop I felt to start a blog about places I liked in KC. I didn’t think much about it and I didn’t do a very good job at writing on it. But during the year I couldn’t really shake the idea of it. Since then someone stepped forward and offered to host my blog as a real website, businesses have offered to create coupons specifically for us, and I decided that this could be more than what I first thought.

Writing was always just one of my loves, nothing I thought much about. I have journals in every nook and cranny of my house telling the stories of my heart and travels. Now I am beginning to wonder what this is all about. I am embarking on a new adventure, and as always dragging my feet in the process. So now that my site has gone public I thought I would share it with you! http://canihelpyoukc.com Perhaps you could pray with me for the possibilities of what this little site holds or the sites to come or the books to come? I just recently also received the finances to potentially purchase a nice camera that would add to the blog as I go from place to place.

So what does this mean? I teach voice, I lead worship, I disciple young adults, I pray, I sing, I administrate ministries, and I write! Oh and I take pictures. I am me and I couldn’t change that even if I tried! All of it expresses my heart with God. All of it is the obedience of a million tiny yesses in my heart. I don’t have to understand it all and I am thankful for the chance to meet people in my city and write about who they are.
