Our story.

November 19, 2011.
4:29 am.
Shanti and Kristen got on their knees and prayed for confirmation of their desires to go to Europe.
4:31 am.
Desires affirmed and confirmed, with a blessing from their Father, they buy roud trip tickets to London.

Shanti and Kristen are at their layover checkpoint in Boston. They have come this far. Their endurance and passion are gifts that even lack of sleep cannot damage not destroy. In addition to their carry-ons and single checked bags, they carry the weight of a bum knee (Kristen :), unfinished to-do lists on post-it's galore, forgotten hairbrushes and abandoned water bottles, and the frequent furrowed brow that says: "how?..."
So how do we bear this weight?
...with grace. With hope. With optimism and drive. With a love and concern for people. This outward focus lessens any weight. Aaah, truth. Here we come.
