Esther



Happy 22nd Birthday, Esther!

How I like to eat spaghetti: Chopsticks and slurp :-P

Something it seems everyone has done, except for me: Never been to Cedar Point (or any amusement park)

Scariest moment of my life: 
I was skiing the Rockies in Montana. After getting off the lift at the top of the mountain, I opted not to ski the first run I came across, because it was so steep I could hardly see where the trail started. So I went on to find one that looked more inviting. There it was! Not as steep, it looked like a smooth ride down. And was it ever! It was like what you see in the movies: Several feet deep of powder snow, with a dramatic spray behind you as you make your way down the hill. I felt as if I were living in a dream. And I had at least 2.5 miles until I got to the bottom. The next thing I knew, I had lost my footing somehow and landed in the deep snow. I was facing down, my legs were sprawled out on either side of my body, skis (still on) implanted in the snow, and my arms couldn't move. I was buried. As I worked to turn my head toward the top of the mountain I realized that I hadn't seen anyone in a while. And there were no tracks on account of there being so much snow. No clue how I was going to get out, I started praying. I had no idea what condition my body was going to be in when I could move again. Frozen, I thought it was the end of me. All of a sudden, someone appeared from nowhere, and asked if I needed help. I don't remember responding, but he took my skis off for me and helped me up. I thanked him, and he disappeared again. I never saw where he came from, where he went, or what he looked like. I'm sure it was an angel. I made it to the bottom of the hill, met up with my buddies, and finished out the skiing day with no broken bones! 

Dream job: I'd like to own a Bed & Breakfast as a ministry. Also I enjoy being a stage musician. I love being able to make music and tell people about Jesus!

A favorite memory (or thing to do) with the Team: When we all get to ride in the same vehicle!

Something that makes me smile: Random adventures and parties :) 

Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth. 
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. For, behold, those who are far from You will perish; You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to You. But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all Your works.
Psalm 73:25-28

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Psalm 91:1-2

Bright Colors!


For the theme night this year at Ola Camp, everyone came wearing bright colors. It was so much fun looking out at the audience all decked out in their colorful attire! We provided music that night, and included a number of songs featured on our new album (due to be released in August)!



If you have never experienced the Ola Camp meetings, we invite you to join us sometime!
