Bar Hoppin on a Friday Night

The other night we went to do prostitute ministries in the bar. Before going we were warned of the possible dangers and to be completely honest it got me pumped. Yes I have an adventurous spirit, but im not the type of idot that would take unnecessary risks in order to partake in one. Its not that im the kind of person that will just randomly fling myself into risky situations, but the idea of putting myself in possible danger in order to share the love of Christ is awesome. The idea of risking and putting it all on the line to do the Lord’s work is amazing.   Before leaving for...

You Make Beautiful Things Out of the Dust

It doesn’t really matter so much that puerto barrios isn’t my favorite city in the world. Right now, in this season of life, there is honestly non place I’d rather be, because I know that I am home. I am here in His love, and it is here that I’m home. It’s a love that Gods only just begun opening my eyes to. I’m realizing for the first time that he loves me enough to truly want the best for me. And even if that means the future isn’t going to look like what I originally had planned, it’s going to be something so much greater than I could have...

Isaiah 42:6

“I am the Lord; I have called you in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you; I will give you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations, to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness.” –Isaiah 42:6   This week I have been learning what it means to walk step in step with God. This verse has encouraged me so much, I just love the picture of God taking me by the hand and walking with me, instead of allowing me to walk by myself. He not only calls us, but he then takes us...

El esta levantando pesas (He is lifting weights!)

This is a blog I drafted two weeks ago to share with y’all: With sweat dripping down my face, muscles straining and every fiber of my body shaking, I try to lift the weight… My friend, Walker, stands beside me laughing hysterically. I fall over, completely exhausted, and the weight crushes my foot. The crowd of kids laughs hysterically. I shake my head and limp off, as Walker tries his hardest to lift the giant load. With a grimace on his face he hoists the weight only a few inches off the ground and then falls over on his back as I, with chest swelling, laugh at his failure....

Leads

Hey Everyone, This week I will write more than three sentences, I apologize for the shortness of my previous ones. So for a few weeks now, I have been really struggling with the aspect of God living in me and being present. I never really thought about this deeply or honestly really cared until being in here in Guatemala, through these weeks I just really yearned for a new relationship with my heavenly father;  a deep, intimate and unending relationship. This week the lord just really showed me that he is present with me and in me. When our team and I went evangelizing with Pastor...

The Blind can really see, I <3 BEVERLY

              Isn’t she beautiful? This amazing girl has captured my heart. Beverly is 16 years old and was born blind. But I am a witness, this girl can really see. And she sees beautiful things.             Last Tuesday, we were scheduled to go to the special children’s school and I was super excited to see Beverly and spend time with her. Last time I saw her, I gave her a pair of my used capris that I brought to give to the kids. I was hoping that when I see...
