sovereignty not circumstance

Russ & I met Lee through our trip to Kenya – although he came to capture the stories on film, we soon realized he had other talents: witty banter in the mornings, obscure pop culture references & just being “hood”. More important than any of these though would be his persistence in covering our team […]

I met Rachel a couple years ago when she came through Belton to visit Russ. We hit it off instantly, probably because of her ability to banter back and forth with the best of them. Since then, we’ve bonded over Taco Cabana meals, late night chats, and tearful conversations in each other’s cars. I’m thankful […]

Justin is a family friend. Memories include laughing at inappropriate jokes with him, his wife, his siblings and parents as well as praying alongside him on yet another trip the Rich family decides to take. Whether it be to Africa, India, Haiti or Austin – the heartbeat of this family is to love God and […]

Madisson has been a student of mine the past two years. The one thing I’ve noticed is her heart for others. It doesn’t matter if it’s someone who others make fun of or little ones across the world, she treats them all with love. This summer when I was in Kibera, she traveled to Honduras. […]

What can I say about Jenny? Plenty. Since meeting her, she’s been nothing but a constant source of encouragement. When I got back from Africa, I counted on her e-mails to reminding me of her prayers. Her I understands were priceless in a moment where I had difficulty determining my next steps after such an emotionally exhausting […]

Meet Erin. Since Russ & I started going to the Stone, she’s become one of my closest friends – she’s one of the most genuine and God-seeking woman I know. We’ve shared fears and dreams, and both have an unequivocal desire to see human trafficking end in our lifetime. When I got the idea for this […]

Last spring, Mike introduced me to Amber. “I think you two should meet” he said, and what followed was an absolute kindred-spirit of a friendship. A heart for the orphan, a yearning for Africa and a love for all things written word, it didn’t take long for her blog to become a staple in my […]

Today’s post is from Alece. I think she’s definitely a rare gift to anyone she meets. Even though the time we’ve spent face-to-face is not nearly enough, she’s impacted me more this year than many people I come in contact with every day. Words can’t express how much I admire this woman. I feel incredibly […]
