DIOS TE BENDIGA

Hey everyone!  So this is our 3rd week in Guatemala. So far it has been incredible! However, it has been A LOT harder than I expected! The first 2 weeks really dragged on…We spent majority of the days playing cards and taking “siestas.” (Not what I thought I signed up for!) I have been on several mission trips that have been incredible! We where constantly doing ministry and really saw Gods work at hand! The culture here is very laid back…and getting to go out for 4 hours is a big deal! I’m really praying that this changes..But if it...

enfermo

Hola Amigos!   I haven’t written a blog in two weeks! I have been very ill for quite sometime. From rashes, parasites, a fever, ear infection… I know the doctor here by name. I was beginning to question why the lord even wanted me here in Puerto Barrios. I’d like to share an experience with you all. When I first went to the hospital here, I went to the free clinic (my choice). I was put into a large room with an assortment if different patients. The woman next to me was vomiting off the side of her bed, a lot. She had this pile of puke that was just on the floor....

Life as Ministry

Lately I’ve been trying been trying to pinpoint the moment on the World Race (life) when I stopped doing and started being. I think I found it. I think it was about the moment I decided just to be me. You can read about that moment here. The reason I’ve been pondering it is because I know what a difference it made. When I decided life was ministry (thank you Kathryn Gironimi), it freed me to just be. To stop striving and start abiding. It was such a radical difference that I’d forgotten until recently it took me nine months on the race for this shift to occur. I remember...

The Call to Go Deeper

This week has been a slower week, with a lot of time spent reading, worshiping and getting to know my teammates more. I guess ¨longer term¨ trips are sort of like that. Not every day is packed with endless activities and things to do. It´s been interesting and different, but I do think God is using it for the good of our team. Time to know Him deeper. Time to really examine our hearts. I know for me personally He has used some of this down time for me to really come face to face with Him. It´s good, but scary too. I´m realizing that when God calls you to go deeper...

Rest for the Weary

Its been hard to put my thoughts together that I may write a blog. So here are the thoughts that come to me as I type. It may look a bit scattered:  I am physically exhausted and spiritually tired. I haven't been spending enough time with my Daddy. I feel the weight of trying to cram everything I can in one day. I want to be the kind of leader that I would follow. I want to set an example of what a man of God looks like that is chasing after God. I give all I have and now I feel spent. I am also sick. It has been tough to find the resources to get all my duties done when I...
