the numbers don’t tell the whole story

I began 2017 on planes — 3 to be exact — headed to Thailand. I went with some a few friends and others {now new friends} that I respect who are passionately advocating for social justice work in their churches and in their communities around the world. We went to uncover the roots and hidden connections of […]

Austin, Texas — The Short List

The places to go. The things to eat. Updated for IF:2017.

In a couple of weeks, we are going to have a couple thousand friends from around the country, from around the world, visiting the wackiest and most endearing city in the world for the IF:Gathering. My hope is that each visitor will fall in love with this city I love so much and return often. {Heaven knows, we don’t need […]

A Joyful Expectancy

Disclaimer: This post was written in Johannesburg after our simple travel plans that should have taken us from Nashville to Atlanta to Amsterdam to Addis Ababa got rerouted after delay after delay and we found ourselves making impromptu stops in Accra, Ghana, and Johannesburg, South Africa. Down side…missing a day in Ethiopia with Kristen, Alysa, […]

A Beautiful Whirlwind

One week from today {if everything goes according to our very ambitious cross-country road trip plan}, Trish Davis, the pup and I will be pulling into Nashville. I still can not believe that this move is on the horizon and getting a little bit closer each day. The last couple of weeks have been a […]

Christ Be With Me

As I write this I am 30,000 feet in the air, headed to Haiti with a handful of Project 7 teammates. We are going to plant fruit trees as our Save the Earth campaign culminates. And truth be known, I am a little nervous. Okay, I’m a lot nervous. Nervous because while I have experienced […]

Don’t Hate Me…

for what I am about to tell you. Tomorrow morning I leave for a five day Carribean cruise with a bunch of friends. Yes, picture me here. I know. I know. It’s not fair to throw that in your face. Please don’t hate me. I couldn’t resist. But I SO need this trip. I don’t […]

Life as a Journeyer

I love to travel. I come by it naturally, my parents passed along a serious case of wanderlust to me and my sister. I love adventure. I love meeting people. I love seeing the world. I love experiencing different places and cultures. And I love trying exotic cuisines, unfamiliar restaurants. I love the fresh perspective […]

The Summer of Lindsey

This summer has been A COMPLETE WHIRLWIND. I have been traveling non-stop and loving every minute of it. But I am worn out. And my life and my house are in disarray.  (Seriously can’t remember the last time I changed my sheets. I think it was sometime last week but I’m not quite sure.) With […]

Home Sweet Home

Last night, I returned home after being gone almost a week. And as much as I loved my week with the family at the beach, it was nice to be home. (Or at least back in Nashville, as I expressed here there is some confusion for me about where home is.) There are times when […]
