A Longing for Intimacy

God has been speaking intimacy over me a lot while I have been here in Guatemala. Specifically, I think, because I tend to get busy “doing” things for Him or the team and miss the whole point: Being in His presence. I have read two books outside of the Word of God that have helped me to see the value of sitting in the silence, “waiting on the LORD.” The books are Abba’s Child by Brennan Manning and Bridal Intercession by Gary Wiens. I make mention of them because I recommend them as a helpful tool to enlighten you on how God feels about you and also the...

Well, no tear jerker blog this week, but instead I have a story for you. It’s completely real, not fiction, 100% fact. As you are probably aware, tomorrow is Thanksgiving and as citizens of the United States of America, we can’t miss the good ole turkey and stuffing. So, Thanksgiving is coming to Guatemala! In preparation for all the cooking, Glenalyn and I got to go back to Honduras for some grocery shopping. What a day. I could have almost imagined myself back home for just a few hours inside the big Americanized...

God has been showing me and teaching me so much on this trip. This past week, He has brought me to a place that I have never been before. I am at a place now where I actually BELIEVE that God’s plan for me is the best plan for my life. Before this trip, I always knew that, but now, I truly believe it. The thought of giving God complete control of my life no longer scares me. It actually makes me excited! Whether He wants me to stay in the United States for the rest of my life or live in a foreign country doing medical missions, I am at peace, knowing that He will always be with...

So, they tell me that Thanksgiving is in a couple of days. I find this very hard to believe because there is no snow on the ground…In all reality, I’m in shorts and sweating and it’s not quite 8 AM. However, that does not mean we are not in the Thanksgiving mood around here! We are bringing Thanksgiving to Guatemala this year. My awesome teammate Sarah has devised the plan of hosting Thanksgiving and we have invited many of our friends we have made while being here (There are going to be 50 (mas or menos) people there)!...

Tonight we went back to Bar Popeye. I wish I was going to be able to put into words what happened tonight, but words really can’t do it justice. I’m not sure how to describe it to people so that they can understand.Â We know this bar and the women there. These were the ladies we danced with, the ladies that have shared their entire stories with us. Only two were there tonight, and one e hadn’t ever seen before. When we asked where the other women were, they told us that drugs and alcohol had gotten in the way and prohibited them from working anymore. A porn film is...

"Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." Psalm 100:3-5 Happy Thanksgiving to all back in the States! Today is day 82 on the mission field and we have 19 days left on this Guatemala adventure. God is so good! Our team was more than blessed this week. We got the opportunity to go visit the Mayan Ruins and...
