back to Nebraska

Yesterday we arrived in Lincoln, Nebraska. Kris has church planting meetings and the kiddos and I got to hitch a ride. As we drove in I remembered all the things I love about Lincoln. It is nice to move from someplace, still love it, and be able to visit and instantly feel at home.

Things I love about Lincoln (all you old Lincolnites tell what you love):
Is it always this green here?
Southpointe mall (I know, a mall? good memories...)
Lincoln Berean church...did alot of growing there
the antique shops
green gateau( my fave restaurant ever! no kidding!)

The People!!!! God gave Kris and I such a rich time of friendship while we lived in Lincoln. We had oodles of great Godly friends that pushed us to grow and gave us endless encouragement. I look back and know God was preparing us to encourage others in a way we never had before. I am eternally grateful for my four years in Lincoln. I am also thankful that when God moved us He moved my heart to a new home as well. Now, when I come to Lincoln it isn't with homesickness for this place but a huge appreciation for amazing friends, a church that loved us, and a place where I always will feel at home.
