It Takes a Village...: happiness.
http://meghanscholtens.blogspot.com/2012/10/happiness.html
It Takes a Village. Just a blog full of thoughts from me that are all about Jesus. That's all. :). Wednesday, October 17, 2012. If someone asked you if you were happy, what would you say? If you said yes and then they, in turn, asked you why, what would be your response? Happiness is a term, an emotion, that has become perverted. If you were to ask an American what would make them the happiest they would probably say money, success, or maybe fame and popularity. But what is real happiness?

Planting Trees: Busy, Busy, Busy.
http://courtneylpalmer.blogspot.com/2012/06/busy-busy-busy.html
Sunday, June 24, 2012. Busy, Busy, Busy. From Tuesday, June 19:. You sure did, buddy. Mary during a lesson on long vowel sounds. The teachers with their copies of the book. Don't be confused though, it's not “busy, busy, busy” all the time. Here, we take an hour or so for lunch, and then have a short rest in the school courtyard. I'm catching on quickly. I wonder how my principal would feel about implementing this Kenyan tradition at our school all in the name of cultural enrichment? Recording His story ...

Planting Trees: May 2012
http://courtneylpalmer.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 30, 2012. Flexible had not occurred to me.". Why God called me to go. I am called to go and bring glory to God by sharing His Gospel and loving others. Andrew Peterson's "Planting Trees" sums up my mission and, I believe, Mattaw's mission both fittingly and beautifully. We chose the spot, we dug the hole. We laid the maples in the ground to have and hold. As Autumn falls to Winters sleep. We pray that somehow in the Spring. The roots grow deep. So many years from now. Long after we are gone.

Planting Trees: Last Day: Part 2
http://courtneylpalmer.blogspot.com/2012/06/last-day-part-2.html
Sunday, June 24, 2012. Last Day: Part 2. From Wednesday, June 20:. I walked away from Dorcus and down the path from the school to find a great big party, put on by the two teams here from Missouri and South Carolina. These two teams are awesome! I was overjoyed to see all the little ones gathered in one place for face and nail painting, s'mores, and games. So what else could I do but join in? What a trade off- she gives me gift of thanks and I paint her face as if she's the Green Lantern. Last Day: Part 2.

Planting Trees: On Safari.
http://courtneylpalmer.blogspot.com/2012/06/on-safari.html
Sunday, June 24, 2012. From Friday, June 22:. So I've made it to the airport, narrowly escaping any rat encounters. Bud took the teams and me to Nakuru, a town about four hours from Kitale, for a safari drive Thursday morning. Gorgeous views on the drive. Made a pit stop at the Equator. Two from our caravan. The water is incredibly high. Storks. Not attractive. What's up, y'all? Possible relative of our friends in the ceiling, Anna and Keela? Thanks to Caleb C. for the pictures! View my complete profile.

Planting Trees: Psalm 100
http://courtneylpalmer.blogspot.com/2012/06/psalm-100.html
Thursday, June 14, 2012. The preschoolers at Mattaw are memorizing Psalm 100. They recite it and learn a little more each day, and I love hearing this psalm of praise and thanksgiving come from their lips. While George Collins and I were having a grass tossing fight this afternoon after school, he agreed to say it again for me. Little man is quite the charmer. Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all you lands! Serve the Lord with gladness;. Come before His presence with singing. View my complete profile.

Simply Love: March 2014
http://simplylove-christy.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 14, 2014. When I started this blog over two years ago, I was a pretty lost little bird. Not lost in my relationship with God, but definitely lost in a big ole World not knowing what to do or where to go. It was pretty bad actually. I started it because I knew God was leading me on a journey, wherever I may eventually end up. I reread that initial blog post. No I didn't just decide yesterday that I wanted a child and walked into the Children's Department saying, "Sign me up! Your eyes saw my...
