so live it out.

alisha just posted some louisiana pictures to facebook, and looking at them got me thinking about one of the families we stayed with in la. 
the voelkels. 
the boys lived at their house for two weeks. the first week they were there the voelkels were out of town on a family vacation with all of their kids and grandchildren.
 
they trusted 5 college kids with their amazing property.
thats a picture of ben and alisha riding around their lake. 
they really understood that God had blessed them with everything so that they could bless others. 
check out this gorgeous sunset. 
like people always talk about "blessed to be a blessing" but this family lived it out. 
i pray that i can remember how they lived and how they treated us when i grow up. 

and pam and norman voelkel... if you ever somehow read this... (i dont know, maybe if you google your names) thank you so much for everything! seriously, you guys are amazing.
