about.

This is one of my favorite pictures from our wedding day, also the only one I really have on my current computer since it got wiped a few months back.  But don't cry for me, Argentina...I have back-up.  Just not with me :)

I am a follower of Christ - the perfect Savior who was fully God and fully man, sinless in His life here on earth, who died the death on a cross that I deserved to die because of my sin, but who rose again, conquering death and making a way for me to have peace with and a perfect standing before the Perfect Judge, boldly proclaiming that: "there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." [Acts 4:12] 

He is seated at the right hand of God, interceding on the behalf of those who belong to Him, and He is coming back.

His gospel is not insufficient, losing power, or in need of restoration.

His Word is truth, and all Scripture inspired by God is authoritative, infallible, and inerrant. The Scriptures are the only sufficient rule for faith and practice, and any addition or subtraction from it is false.  

I can say so much more on this, expounding on all the ways that Christ is glorious, the fact that I do not deserve to know or understand this, the ways that I want my life to reflect my knowledge of this, and how endless are the thoughts we can have of God...but I wouldn't even be able to touch it.  All I know is that there is no way that would I would be able to do enough "good" to stand before God with a clean slate.  Every nasty thought, snide remark, and bad attitude I've had [and those are just the "small" things - often on a daily basis] could never be weighed out by "enough" things I could do that I think might be pleasing to a holy, perfect, righteous God that can only stand perfection in His sight.  And because of the freedom I have in Christ, I want to know my gracious Savior more and more...I want to know the best way to live - by His infinite grace - and the freedom that it brings to my life now and for eternity.  He is glorious to me, and I can spend eternity learning more and more about His unending wisdom and love.

If no one is perfect - and everyone agrees that no one is, right? - then can you see that everyone has a need for perfection in order to be right with God?

I need Christ.  

And so does every man, woman and child on this earth. 

This is truth.

I am also newly-ish wed to my best friend and most handsome man.   

We were recently transported to the Caribbean Isle of Grenada for him to be able to attend medical school in hopes of one day becoming a medical missionary. I am so proud of my hard-working husband and his adamant desire to seek God and live a life pleasing to Him.  He leads me well, and I am honored and humbled by the Lord's blessing to be his wife.  We are praying for children in His perfect timing, and I am preparing to be a mom and better wife in the meantime, by His grace :) 

Grenada has thus far been a strange new land full of many different traditions, creeping things, a slower pace, and a hot, hot sun.  This blog covers many of the adventures we have had and will continue to have on a daily basis.

I blog for the purpose of keeping those at home up to date on our adventures, to shed light on truth, and to remind myself of things I have read/were pertinent to me at one point or another. I think that keeping track of your thought processes is important for growth...so bear with me as I ramble :) 

And please feel free to comment whenever!  I love a good discussion or further insight!
