As the weekend draws to a close, I feel EMPOWERED & EQUIPPED to go forth in the power of the freedom that can only come from Jesus. The @ifgathering is doing an incredible work of equipping women as leaders to disciple a generation. I am overwhelmed with His goodness & encouraged by so many incredible stories & messages. I am filled with excitement to see what He as in store for IF: in the future and I am praying that a community of women in Boone comes forth as a result of this! #ifgatheringboone #ifgathering2016 @ifequip {Apparently I need more notes pages in my @lifelivedbeautifully journal. Ended up writing on the back cover...} (at Boone, North Carolina)

In 2016, every day, I will taste & see that the Lord is good. >> This year holds many questions. It is a year full of endings (graduation!) and the many new beginnings that will ensue as a result. I know I am entering into a year where I will be pushed deeper & deeper into Jesus than ever before because I will be learning to depend on Him in a whole new way, to trust in His provision, and to remember always that He is a good Dad who loves to give His kids good gifts! >> My roots must lie solely in Him, and so this year I resolve to -- every day -- soak in His word, unceasingly tasting and seeing that He is good! { @lifelivedbeautifully I am joining you in the Taste & See challenge! } #2016forJesus #tasteandseechallenge #godisgood

We are called to be stewards of His creation. - - - #Repost @andingjd with @repostapp. ・・・ A rhino is poached every 6 hours and every 15 minutes an elephant is poached. regram @adriansteirn The first in a series of very confronting images. The most confronting I have ever shot. This young male calf was never given a chance. His mother was shot and the STS team couldn't save him. It's the strongest set of images I have shot about the rhino war. So confronting I am not sure who will print them. We need to share this story. Please share on your own platforms. Like to unlike. More images to come. #savetherhino
