that pesky broken arm.

 ok, so here are some very belated photos of breaking my arm last december...yeah, 2010. sorry it took me so long to resurface. no excuses. but now i'm back. :)

(and warning: some of the pics are kinda gross...so you've been warned.)

being loaded onto the ski patrol sled...this can't be good.

being shown my broken bones. ouchy.

my doctors prepping for my block.

getting a block put in my arm so they could set it.
it was NOT fun, but genie caught this pic
when the doc told me a joke.

sitting in traction the first time. (there were 3 turns.)

my arm got REAL puffy. that was weird.

my knuckles got all black and blue. weird.

after i got home. driving myself was a little tricky.

my first hard cast. and yes it's purple. TCU won the Rose Bowl
the day after i broke my arm...i commemorated!

gene drew that heart. love it.

this was hilarious. (and you can kinda see the skull jq drew...)

this was cast #3...and it was raining. haha

yl wilderness ranch 2010 recap

26 june 2010


inspiration: my young life girls
location: the wilderness of colorado
what i love: the word inspiration isn't enough...these girls are awe inspiring.
well what did i learn in a week long trip into the wilderness with 14 girls, 2 guides, and a base camp summer staffer/cook?? better question = what didn't i learn???? 
i learned about love. about God's love. about the love God gives me for these girls. 
i learned about the mystery of God. His desire to meet me in my mess. in my worst state of mind, and not only pick me up, but drag me out, clean me off, and deliver me to his grace. ah, God is good.
so enjoy a little bit of the craziness, some of the nostalgia, and hopefully, you see some of the beauty that i see in these girls and in the wilderness.
