I have no idea what this bird is. . . but it flew at my head

right after taking this picture and I screamed like a girl! : )

Jason was highly amused. . .

Beautiful underground lake with stalactite and

The Cambridge Beaches

There were a couple different beaches surrounding

the resort. Unfortunately it was too cold and windy

to even lay on the beach, let alone get in the ocean.

Dancing with the Gombeys

Dawn got picked to be one of the tourists to dance with the Gombeys.

She was conspicuously behind a post too trying to hide.

Didn't work out so well. . .

But it was fun. .

These are traditional Bermudian dancers.

You can not "become" a Bermudian Gombey dancer,

it is something you must be born into.

Eight years ago today, Jason and I were getting married. Starting a new life together. What an amazing and blessed eight years it has been. Thank you Jason for being the best husband in the world, and for being my best friend! I love you!

Nighttime Shadows

Nighttime sky outside of our house- actually it was very early in the morning, I was leaving for work!

Quote

I am currently reading, "When People are Big and God is Small." Very good book. I recommend it! The author Edward Welch speaks of how in our society we speak so much of what our 'psychological needs' are and these were his comments:

When psychological needs, rather than sin, are seen as our primary problem, not only is our self-understanding affected, but the gospel itself is changed. A needs theory suggests that the gospel is, most deeply, intended to meet psychological needs. . . This sounds good to us but it is not the gospel. The good news of Jesus is not intended to make us feel good about ourselves. . . Jesus did not die to increase our self-esteem. Rather, Jesus died to bring glory to the Father by redeeming people from the curse of sin.

I don't know what to add to that. Great quote, great book! This book is full of wisdom.

The Road Less Travelled

I wanted to change the title of my blog. I got to thinking today, my life has often been about being different. I grew up as a missionary kid in Bangladesh and Kenya which always made me feel a little strange. Not in a bad way, just different. I loved seeing the world from so many different perspectives. Now as I have molded into American culture, I am finding myself again taking the road less travelled as I have been married going on eight years and do not have children. This has not always been a positive difference for me, I have often felt very out of place, but now, I am embracing this difference. I picture myself taking a detour from the main highway and traveling down back roads and I am amazed at the beauty of the scenery. Being different is not always bad. I get to see life from a different angle, and I am so grateful for this beautiful perspective.
