always love a party.

Last night we had our Cru Christmas party for the ODU students here at mine and Amy's place.  It was really fun to decorate and entertain at our apartment.

The Blessing Tree

Everyone that came in was able to write a blessing and add it to our Christmas Tree.

It was a fun way to keep our hearts focused on Jesus during this busy Christmas season.

"From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another." -John 1:16

Tidewater Scope

I love maps.

Here is a map that shows the colleges in our scope for Tidewater. We currently have movements at Old Dominion Univ. and Christopher Newport Univ.  Would you continue to pray for the Tidewater Launch?

Interns Unite.

Soul Sisters

I wish I could articulate how blessed I feel by the sisters in this picture. These girls make my heart happy and I LOVED seeing them this past weekend in North East, Maryland at our Crusade Regional Staff Conference. Back in August we spent a week together in Valley Forge, PA as we briefed for our first year internship. From left to right in the above picture, Moe is interning at UVA, Sara at WVU, Lindsay Lifelines at UVA, Sarah at WVU, me at Tidewater.

It was so fun to connect with these girls last weekend. I loved talking about life as an intern and doing full time ministry on our campuses. They get me and the crazy life that we live.

I am so thankful for these ladies and the friendship we have in Christ and in the Crusade Family. Can't wait for our time at Radiate!

One reason I love Beth Moore...

Beth Moore is crazy about coffee too...

:) I read this as I sip my medium coffee with cream and one sugar from Dunkin. Due to the power outage our cream and milk suffered. To-go coffee this morning. I feel your pain Beth.

lookie, lookie!!

This makes for one happy girl. Just down the street! Opened a week ago! Thanks DD.
