Today's tribute (one a day in May) goes to Natalie, or "Natari Sensei" as she's affectionately known by her students in Japan! :)

Natalie has a strong heart for overseas missions and has already traveled to Japan, Uganda, the Philippines, and China!

I love reading her blog and hearing about all her travels and the people she is influencing!  

She is an amazing free spirit, and she's fearless in following God!  She loves kids, and I have no doubt that they all love her!  She's hilarious, expressive, full of life, and one of the cutest people I've ever met!! :)

Her blog stories are always entertaining, but her heart for God shines through in it all!

Here she is bungee jumping in Uganda... I love this picture! :)

I still remember her calling me "MUUUUKEEE!" at the top of her lungs at lifegroup, then cracking up when I finally quietly corrected her that it was pronounced "Mickey." lol =)

I'm thankful for Natalie... for the laughter and fun memories with her, for the lives she has touched across the world, and for the people she has inspired right here by having the courage to follow God, even when that means leaving everything else behind!! ❤
