I want to be a Peace-Sower

As children of God we desire to sow many seeds. God knows these seeds, but He also knows our hearts behind sowing those seeds. If you are simply making yourself sow a seed out of an angry heart, you will be quick to try and make God move, when He is showing you His timing. I want to be a peaceful sower. Jesus says "blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be children of God. Give God your seeds and He will gain the increase that He deserves, and what will sprout is just another child of God  With love,  Graham Snuggs

So much change, so little time

Hola from Puerto Barrios, Guatemala!      From the chilly cold grounds of Georiga to the lush warm land of Guatemala, I start my journey of this crazy adventure. When I think training camp I think of silly team bonding games that make situations more awkward than usual, but NOT this training camp. This training camp is more  like spiritual bootcamp.     I have never felt so spiritually prepared to go into the mission field, as I did here in Georgia. Falling in love with Christ all over again, finding your idenity in Christ, to...

Frozen Georgia, Hearts on Fire

Shout out from Team Guatemala at Spring 2013 passport training camp!  This morning the air is crisp and the ground is frozen here at training camp in Georgia, but there is a joy and excitement in the eyes of everyone on the team!   It has been an incredible few days of preparation, bonding, worship, and being drawn into the Father together as a team.  We’re so excited to embark on this journey together.    The Lord has been breaking down all of our walls and fears this week as we step into His presence, and I personally am so encouraged to see the hope and joy...

No Shame November

Hello all! Well, I guess I should start out by apologizing for taking a while to write again! This trip has definitely pushed and stretched me in ways I could have never imagined. This past month I decided to live a “No Shame November”. That is where you live a life holding nothing back and refusing to let anything stop you. I learned how much shame can hold you back if you let it. It can stunt the ways God is trying to grow you and blind you to His purpose. Here is a list of some  of the areas where God has taught me to push away the shame: The Gospel: That should have...

Episode 9: “There’s so much to be thankful for…”

For the full effect of the title of this blog, I recommend that you listen to Josh Groban's song "Thankful." If you're lucky enough to live in the St. Louis area, I oh so highly recommend that you have my dad sing this for you. It will melt your heart! Happy Thanksgiving, folks. Better late than never, right? Who would have thought that my first out-of-country Thanksgiving experience would rank up there with some of my favorite memories of the holidays? But that's exactly what I this Thanksgiving became. It was a chance to stop and bless the 30 or so people that showed...
