in early december josh, heron, & i traveled back to indiana to see friends, do some shows, and drive to michigan to visit josh's grandmother. first stop: indianapolis, to catch up with jay & jess kirkpatrick, & their son kian, heron's new buddy.
next stop: muncie. muncie, indiana, in particular, is a dear place to all of us, as it is where josh got saved, where josh & i met, where heron was born, & where many close friends of ours still reside. josh & i have both spent significant years of our lives there as part of the muncie alliance church community, & within that context have learned so much about community, calling, healing, & faith.
as we've watched MAC & the internship grow, it was exciting for josh to be a part of vecinos coffee gallery's grand opening in downtown muncie, in the old mezza luna building.
: heron made new friends :
(judah jones, naomi jones, israel mccrory)
: it was a pleasure seeing lauren again, with baby naomi :
: and lezlie, too, with eden :
: lisa ran merch for me while i kept heron from running onstage :
the next night josh played at the 509 in huntington. such a treat to be there, as jason & kari offered to watch heron & i was freed up to be merch girl once again. i saw my dear friend erin, and josh & jennifer miller who came all the way from southern california (to visit indiana family as well as see josh play).
during the muncie/huntington days with stayed with bill & robin, and were so thankful to be able to spend so much time with them during our visit.
(while staying at bill & robin's we also shared a lovely evening with pat + lezlie, jake + lauren, & lisa, in the carriage house where we were guests. all our little ones were in bed & we had a beautiful evening of laughing & meaningful fellowship that carried on into early morning. it was so refreshing & encouraging to our souls, so good to spend those precious hours with other friends who still believe in jesus)
