It´s not about me.

Nothing casts down all pride like life on the mission field. You are dirty, smelly, unshaven, and unkempt in every way. You start competitions with your team mates to see who can go the longest without showering, you stop washing your hands because the tap water is probably worse for you then any of the germs already on your hands, and no matter what you always smell like a mixture of sunscreen, bugspray, and sweat. The kind of smell that just makes you think of the color brown. This  has been my life for the past 6 weeks. And I love it. I wouldn´t have it any other way. ...

tu estas aqui

On Friday we visited the nursing home  in Puerto Barrios again. After such a long morning I was spiritually drained and my joy was nowhere to be found. But for about a week the Lord had been putting a lady there on my heart: I don’t know her name or her story but I know that the Lord loves her, and as my sister I care about her well being. She has some problem that has caused extreme infection in both of her ankles- bone, tissue, and veins are exposed. The spirit had been prompting me to pray with this lady for healing. How humbling it was that even when I have no joy and no...

Life is Beautiful

On Saturday morning I had the opportunity to do something extreme, and rather out of character, that I had never done before… motorcycling and dirt biking (Uncle Kenny, Kyle, and Grant… I know you guys won’t believe me until I put up pictures, so be patient)!  Anyways… three of my teammates and I rode with members of the church for a morning of fellowship.  For over three hours, on an absolutely beautiful day, we rode around Lake Atitlán and I am convinced that I got the best view of Guatemala!  The morning was a wonderful time of...

Guats up people?

God is amazing. I think that statement is enough for a blog but I must type more so I'm going to tell you how God has worked in my life. Get yourself a cup of coffee or tea or pop or water or even juice (whichever you prefer) and find a place to sit down and read this blog for the next few minutes.  Currently I am sitting outside of a coffee shop in Pana just thinking of how amazing God is. I am so amazed that God knew before I was born, before my mom and grandma was born that at 1:28pm on July 13th, I would be sitting here typing this out. It was part of his schedule and his...

Finding My Own Flame

"I don´t wanna ride on somebody else´s passion, I don´t wanna find that I´m just dry bones, I wanna burn with unquenchable fire, deep down inside see it coming alive." This past week God has really beenspeaking to me and convicting me.  I truly love living and working on the field.  It is easy for me and I´ve been waiting all summer to hear where God is calling me next just like He called me to Guatemala in April.  God has been telling me loud and clear that it is time to go home and speak truth and life into my family and...
