Rich & Nick, Co-workers!

Last but not least I want to introduce you to Rich & Nick! I met these guys 3 years ago at a conference in the states and remember enjoying them right off the bat! Looking back I never would have guessed I would be working alongside of them here in the UK. God is good I must say!


Rich & his lovely wife Lizzie

Bossman Rich - there are lots of reasons why I respect and appreciate Rich. For starters he's a great visionary leader that's easy to follow, primarily because I think he's great at invitation and challenge - encouraging you with where your at and yet pushing you into more of what God wants for you. To be honest getting to be under Rich's leadership was a big factor in deciding to move here. I know I have much more to learn from this man!


Classic Nick Clare

Where do I begin with this guy?! My first hangout with Nick included wine and cigars and rocking chairs - the best way to get to know someone as far as I am concerned! I remember immediately loving Nick's banter and his desire for good conversation. Since being here I have been challenged by Nick's passion and desire to be always going after the lost. Because Nick and I operate quite differently I am hoping more and more his strengths will rub off on me!


Both great guys that I am thankful to work with!

Weekend Goodness

Many of you have been asking what I do on the weekends...ahhh the same things I did before!! :) But in case you, state-side folk think I am backpacking around Europe and not doing a thing - here's a bit of documentation from the weekend! :)

Diet Cokes at a Pub with Beth - LOVE this Lady! You can all pray she sticks around to do Form - the best discipleship program in all the land!


S.K.M. - my initials backwards. Looking back I am not sure why that was picture worthy!!!??

Saturday morning I got to meet with these lovely ladies! We all have similar hearts to want to see women healed, empowered, and released into their calling. Great time of discussing and seeking the Lord with what He wants!

I got to spend the afternoon with Pippa - having coffee, watching the Rugby, and making this crumble! Not a bad Saturday as far as I am concerned! :)

We were pretty proud of this crumble, so we thought two pictures were necessary!

Our Young Adults team -which means lots of my favorite people in one room! :)
Just enjoying Sunday lunch together!

Sunday night church - what's up Jesus?!!
It looks like nobody was there because so many people went to the front to worship!!

This is Ally Proudfoot, if you can't tell :)
She drives me everywhere, so of course she automatically is one of my favorite people! AND I didn't get pictures of it BUT she made me an American feast (burgers/fries) on Friday night - there really seems to be no limit to the skillz of this lady.

Wonderful Women!

These past 2 years I have had the privilege of having two lovely ladies invest in me as not only as a disciple of Jesus but also as a woman. Both their challenge and encouragement to me was a breathe of life that I needed at that time.

So without further delay, I give you....

Jo Saxton

Just looking at Jo's life I see the mark she has made on so many and the path that she is paving for women everyday! She reminds me that I am a leader and that I can be powerful, passionate, and bold. I feel blessed that I have had the opportunity to learn from her and have her call out who God has made me to be. She inspires me to go hard after my dreams and not hold anything back - something we all need as women.

AND I couldn't help but include her two lovely children - does it get any cuter than this?!


And next up....Rebecca Lindsay


Even just thinking about this lady makes me smile! I remember from the first day I met Rebecca she was challenging things in my life that made me go back and really think - so of course instantly I loved this lady! I was and still am today deeply encouraged by her ability to prophetically call out who I am as a woman - whether it was a simple one-liner or lengthly word from the Lord, Rebecca was pivotal in helping me grow in my ability to hear from the Lord. She inspired me to be exactly who I was made to be and enjoy every minute!


The Lindsay's :)

It saddens me that I can count on one hand the number of women who have deeply impacted my life, but my prayer is that the generations below me will not have that problem but will have lots of examples of women who have gone ahead of them and fully lived out their calling upon their life.
