Watching the skies…

January 6, 2022January 6, 2022 / jillenenarraway / Leave a comment

I am a self-proclaimed Weather Nerd... it may be sad, but it is true. Living for most of my life in the snow belt of Western New York for most of my life where expecting regular snow events measured in feet might have fed this hobby of mine. Combine that with working in camping ministry … Continue reading Watching the skies…

Merry Christmas! May you find anew the awe and wonder of God in human flesh, born to save and redeem us! ~Jillene

In Awe and Wonder: treasure

There are some recreations that will never compare to the real thing. Without a doubt in my mind, no matter how we attempt to portray the glory of these moments, we cannot capture the full awe and wonder of the events from the first Christmas story! But this year I’m thankful for the way God … Continue reading In Awe and Wonder: treasure

Sitting around the Christmas tree with children in pjs and hair still quite a mess, little ones eager to open presents, someone is still super sleepy, someone is probably a little cranky…. and in them moments before opening gifts we read the Christmas story… “Let’s read the Christmas story. Someone open your Bible to Luke … Continue reading In Awe and Wonder: sign

How many Christmas Eve’s have I sat with wrapping paper, tape, scissors, ribbons, gifts only to have to find my list… in an almost panic, fearing (or finding) that something is missing… a present lost or a detail dropped. Leading to that first Christmas I’m not sure how Mary and Joseph felt, Elizabeth and Zechariah, … Continue reading In Awe and Wonder: prepare

26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the … Continue reading In Awe and Wonder: kingdom

The very last words of the last book of the Old Testament read:“Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD. And he will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, … Continue reading In Awe and Wonder: expect

As we’ve been reading scripture through this advent season, the Bible is telling one story leading to the coming of the Messiah, the birth of Jesus. The stage has been set, in fact the plot put in motion since creation and the fall. Sin brought brokenness to the world, separation between God and humanity, constant … Continue reading In Awe and Wonder: time

During very difficult situations it can appear there is no possible way that light will come in the darkness. And Israel faced many years of darkness when they were held captive in exile. The promises of God to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob seemed so long ago… the reign of the kings over… the nation shattered…. … Continue reading In Awe and Wonder: rescue

On the windowsill by my kitchen sink sits this tiny orchid. For months it sits with beautiful blooms, which require minimal care to maintain its gorgeous color. And then one day it happened. A shriveled flower made an unexpected appearance. The normally in perfect bloom plant was experiencing the unavoidable life cycle. Each day brought … Continue reading In Awe and Wonder: rise

Other than this picture there is only one other picture I wish I could share with you of Keith Griffin. (And that would be of him jumping into the pool at the Holiday Inn when ABY exceeded the mission fundraising goal!) Keith was one of a kind!
Do you ever get a little emotional over the strangest of things? 150+ campers at camp playing games on the field but it was this sight that stopped me in my tracks. Piles of belongings, notebooks, and Bibles left by campers between Vesper service and evening games. And this sight shouted, “This is camp! Evidence of campers. Evidence of community. Evidence of God. All on display at the basketball court.” We need this… we need these simple moments of living life together… and… for all the hard work that it takes to make camp happen, all the lost sleep, all the sore feet, all the sacrifices… it is all worth it for these little, beautiful, powerful experiences that give us a glimpse into the heart of God and the joy of heaven awaiting us!
Calah turned 8 today! Our girl has grown so much this year. One of my favorite stories from this year happened one afternoon when her oldest brother and dad were changing tires on the car. They worked right through lunch and she noticed they didn’t come inside for the meal. Calah asked if she could make them food and she packed them a bag lunch and brought it out so they wouldn’t get too hungry while working.
It’s been a while since we’ve played a game of Guess the Narrawaggle. Tonight’s dinner conversation was “Choose your favorite Disciple.” Complete with card stock cut outs (from Calah’s bedroom wall decor), good discussion, research on each man’s ultimate fate, and resulted in choosing “favorites.” So… what do you think? See below for the list Narrawaggle names and a list of the disciples the kids chose. Your task, should you choose to play, is to see if you can match (or guess the matches) for which Narrawaggle selected which disciple. In typical Guess the Narraway form… there may be no logical way to guess the matches. 🤣
In case you were SUPER curious concerning the opening day of the Narrawaggle River Adventures 2022… today was that day. The water was cold, it didn’t last too long, but it was sooooo good to play again in the water and sand. #narrawaggles #goplayoutside #riveradventures #gauleyriver
Today Iris turned 6! In order to capture Iris’ personality in one picture we would need to show her jumping/tumbling around, writing words, collecting toys, playing with her siblings, and just in general being our cute lil’ punkin’! She’s both a sweet and tough girl in one! We love you, Iris Maia! Happy birthday! #iristurns6 #narrawagglebirthday
