so full of encouragement that i could just burst.

great news. my special outlets arrived a few days ago. scott and i are excited about "venting" it all out to these two little m&ms.

  3. hey katie. so neat to hear from you. isn't it awesome how God can use the things that we loooove to do [like drawing] for His glory? he equips us in such unique ways, yet he uses those very things to grow us in relationship with Him... and to encourage each other. you're so sweet.
