Adventures in the Lord

So I got to talked with Nick last night - actually, we did an iChat, where we use video and get to see each other while we talk! While we were talking I say "Gosh, I need to blog!" and Nick says, "We can just do it when I come home..." :) SO I think I am going to wait for him to get back. Which is next week! Crazy how each time we are apart, I still get those butterflies in my stomach thinking about the first time I get to see him again. It is so amazing all the people I have been BLESSED to see since getting back here! I arrived on a Wednesday. Thursday I got to have lunch with the Kasmar's since they had a 3 hour layover at our airport! That was so awesome to see them, fresh off their honeymoon.. Love you Guys!! Then Friday I met up with my roommate from college and her husband for dinner in downtown Waikiki. They were having a block party (closed off the main road) with shave-ice, all sorts of food and multiple stages with music and dancing. While they are d...

Saw this at the airport and had to blog it :)  A kiss from my man and off I go!  back to Hawaii! Excited to be back in our home and in 80+ degree weather! Man, in the last three months Nick and I have done Plane, Train, Automobile and Boat to see each other!  Nick and I have a lot to share...well Nick is the one with all the stories. I will try and blog once I get settled in. Just wanted to send this cute picture and say goodbye to all our wonderful family and friends here on the continental US! :) back to the islands for me. Can't tell you how fun this time has been here...

These are a few pictures of the last few weeks that make me smile. These are some that I have been wanting to share. As I look through these, I keep thinking of all these other memories that I do not have pictures of!

Here are some pictures from down the street, the Jesusita fire - Taken last night when the winds really started to pick up. Behind the house on the drive back from work last night These are people on their root looking at all the smoke and ash. We are safe. Praying for others.

  That is how long Nick and I have been married! How cool is that?!?  [...No, that is not how long it's been since I last posted as some of you thought :) ]   So much has happened in the last few months, but I think we can just pick up where we left off.  God Stories. It is all about Him. All about us looking to Him, after realizing that His plans, His Ways and His thoughts are far higher than ours and that they are always better than what we could have planned on our own. I have been chasing Nick up and down the coast of California for the last 2 months. It has been an incredible adventure - one that we will remember for a long, long time (and it's not even over!). We have been able to see all of our family, mine and his, which is SO wonderfully refreshing and so much fun!!   The Jarvis is now in the port of San Francisco getting a little make-over. I have been up here 20 mins south of the city staying with our wonderful friends B and T, Oh man do we love you guys. T is Nick...

Oh man, nothing gets me so pumped up, so excited, and just my heart jumping up and down like God-stories. Stories about the Lord, His work, His plans and how He uses His people! We all have stories like this as we walk through this life, trusting the Lord and not leaning on our own understanding. This weekend was FULL of God-stories :D The Lord truly gave me a great weekend on the YWAM base in Kona. I cannot get my computer to load the other pictures, but these ones actually explain it well - I was just washed afresh with pure, living water and revitalized by the Lord! I got to spend time with Luke and Bethany, I went on the most grueling-amazing hike, I got to have amazing time alone with the Lord, and I got to hear one of the Best God stories ever... The Lord is Great and Greatly to be Praised! He has given me a new song to sing Becky

Over the last few 2 months, the Lord has done so much in me and in those around me. I can't wait to share some of the stories with you! Hopefully in person, or over the phone for those of you far away :) I am so excited to be heading to Kona to see my good friends Bethany and Luke this weekend! It is amazing how the Lord planned that...It is the perfect weekend and I am excited to hear from the Lord while I am there! Dreams of being in California come up almost daily now as I look forward to that flight! As I got ready for church this past Sunday, I can't help but long for the day Nick and I get to go to Reality, our church home...to worship and study with our church family...That will be a very sweet day. Here is where the title of this post comes in...I have been wanting to share something with you. My cousin Christine Edwards has a blog, where she shares what the Lord is showing and doing in her, her husband and their two boys. She is an incredible woman of endurance. As sh...
