Things that make me think

Giving thanks

November 23, 2017November 23, 2017 / jillenenarraway / Leave a comment

Thanksgiving day is here! A time for family, friends, fun, food with a side of thankfulness for good measure.  I haven't always been a big fan of holidays like thanksgiving. I struggled with the feeling that the day was a little fake and forced. But after reading Ann Voskamp's book I started to see things … Continue reading Giving thanks

Shine the light

This flashlight... I'm not too sure what to say about it other than it is like the energizer bunny and it keeps going and going and going... No, really. Against all odds it keeps on shining. Its proud owner is my 2 almost 3 year old, Calah. For a year she's had this flashlight, loved it, … Continue reading Shine the light

Easter leftovers

April 17, 2017 / jillenenarraway / 2 Comments

Up at 6am, trying to be quiet to avoid waking the family, I stood in the kitchen waiting for the heating water to make tea. In the early morning light I wrote, filling in our daily board: notes for the day, jobs, meals... the words hit me kind of hard Not the literal meal, that … Continue reading Easter leftovers

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
