Africa in my home.

I knew when I got home from Africa that I never, ever wanted to forget what God had worked out in me while I was there (and as I prepared to go). It changed my heart, my soul and my mind. Only if you've been can you fully understand that it gets in your soul.

So while the pictures below are of animals/scenery, it reminds me of greater sifting the Lord did within me. The thorn pictures, well, that's the kind of bush they used to make Jesus' crown.

A creative friend of mine made the collage below helping me think through which images I should include (I took like 700) and how to place them. I was soooo wowed and thankful for his help!

So this:


Turned into this:

Mississippi Children's Museum

This morning I was asked to join a client at the MS Children's Museum press conference and party. I have heard so much about this Museum from my sister-in-law, but really didn't know how cool it would be.

My first encounter with the Museum was at Mistletoe. Out of all of the vendors/stores, I stopped at their booth, begging them to let me buy this really cool toy they had. I just knew my niece and nephew would LOVE it (as would I). But they weren't for sale yet --- drats.

Needless to say, my interest was definitely perked for them -- they had such a cool, educational toy...and this morning, I was wowed. I felt like a kid as I went through each of the areas. I even fished for catfish (working with hand/eye coordination) with a 10yo. YES.

Here are a few more pictures for a sneak peak. Please go support this place. It's amazing!
