Hello from JFK!

Hello friends! It’s been so long since I’ve posted on here. Things have been crazy lately!
My sister went into labor during my finals week and I had to rearrange my travel plans, flights, and meetings with friends and old colleagues to get to Ohio as soon as I could. My sweet little nephew Rowan was born 2 months early. He’s still in the NICU, so it would mean a lot to me if you could keep him, my sister Laura, and brother-in-law Tyler in your prayers. It was beautiful to be reminded of the gift of life in its tiniest packages. Our God is truly an awesome God. Many thanks to the incredibly supportive people in my district for encouraging me to be with my family and helping me reschedule my meeting with my District Committee on Ordained Ministry. And of course to my friends and family who kept me sane and lifted me in prayer–it was a crazy time and I couldn’t have made it without y’all.
Christmas break was equally as busy, but it was so much fun. We put a lot of miles on between Columbus and Pittsburgh, and it was great to be at home with my friends and family. Words can’t even describe the moment when I got to hold my nephew for the first time. He might be tiny, but he is one cute little nugget. I love being an aunt already.
I’m currently in the JFK airport in New York City on a very long layover before we fly out to Israel tonight! I’ll be spending 3 days touring different cities and sites in Israel and the remainder of the time I will serve as a North American delegate to the World Methodist Evangelism Institute. Hopefully there will be some wifi so I can share all of the details with y’all! And so I can keep up with my Steelers in the playoffs, of course. 
Hope you all had a safe and happy holiday season. I’m excited to catch up on some blog reading and share more stuff on here as well. Blessings and love to each and every one of you!
