Warning! The following blog could possibly make absolutely no sense because I simply have so much going on in my head right now that there is no way I can piece it all together and make any sort of sense, so Im sorry in advance. At training camp I was blown away by God. I was not looking forward to training camp at all, I was ready to go go go to Guatemala, But wow already I have learned so much about myself and all of Gods crazy love. Its amazing to be completely surrounded by people who love unconditionally , who don't care about how others view them and just want to love people...

ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS

Training Camp

We are never to young to serve. Those words went through my mind as I was packing my bags to go to Guatemala. After three days of training it is clear how evident and true these words are. The way of expression and of praise for the God is so heart warming, that tears of joy can easily be seen and felt. People are shouting, singing, and roaring with assurance that God will take care of them. All shackles and chains that try to hold us back are easily broken. Each of these men and women are of courage strength and obedience. I have never felt so alive and having the Holy Spirit in me is...

After three and a half incredible months in Puerto Barrios, Guatemala, our time has come to an end. What a blessed journey it has been. My life will never be the same. Before this trip if you had told me how hard it was going to be, I most likely would not have come…but praise God I had no idea, because I am so thankful for God’s work in my life. My life will never be the same. God truly transformed my life and my love for Him has blossomed into something so beautiful. The Christian journey is not always easy, but it is so rewarding. If...

It’s hard for me to grasp the concept that my time in Puerto Barrios is done, at least for a little while. I won’t be holding orphans, teaching them how to walk, and playing with Dalia every Monday. I won’t be at the Children’s Hospital every Tuesday coloring with sick kids and talking with concerned parents. I won’t be talking to prostitutes or walking through garbage dumps every week anymore. Some things I’m happy are coming to an end- cold showers, constantly sweating, power outages, water shortages, rice and beans, pila washing, and language...

“We know that if the life we live here on earth is ever taken down like a tent, we still have a building from God. It is an eternal house in heaven that isn’t made by human hands. In our present tent-like existence we sigh, since we long to put on the house we will have in heaven. After we have put it on, we won’t be naked. While we are in this tent, we sigh. Then eternal life will put an end to our mortal existence. God has prepared us for this and given us his Spirit to guarantee it.” These past three and a half months have been the craziest, hardest, most...

Dear Maria Clara, In a few weeks you probably won't remember me anymore, but I'll never forget you. I still remember the first time I saw you. Pastor Rony said they had babies in a nursery and I snuck off quickly to find me one. From the first time I laid eyes on you, I knew you were "My One." The one person I wanted to love on each week, to pour into and pray for, to cuddle with and snuggle and let you know you are loved. Granted, you were six months old when I met you, and now you're eight months. You still don't really walk or talk, but...
