This weekend we took a four day trip to Honduras! This trip served two purposes: to experience ministry in Honduras and to renew our visas. While there we visited elementary schools, about four different churches, and visited house-to-house praying, evangelizing, and inviting families to church. While we were there, we were told a lot of information that was incorrect; plans were constantly changing and we never knew what was going on. One day we were broken into three groups and were sent to three different schools. I was told that each group would be hanging out with a different age group...

Yesterday, we had an ATL ministry morning. For those of you unfamiliar with this (me being one), it stands for Ask The Lord. You literally pray and ask God what he wants you to do and where he wants you to go during the time set aside. With that introduction, we split into groups and began to pray. My group started with individual prayer. Ok God, I said. I have no idea what I'm doing. And I'm sure hoping you do. Nothing. Really God? Something? Anything??? And finally, randomly, completely unexpected, God told me "purple couch." Well, really more burgandy....

Hey fellow friends! So thinking about writing a blog just really bogs my mind. I have so many thoughts and experiences that i could write about. gee-wiz! But my team and i made our way to the lands of Honduras this past week and all i can say about it that is was amazing. i got to experience my birthday also which was quite the birthday i might say. I got to be bombarrded with Honduran kids that all gave me huge hugs and kisses! what an experience! My team surprised me with pizza hut and that was sooo good! and Then Pastor Ronnie bought me a donut and some orange juice. It was quite the...

This last week has been my favorite week of the trip, beginning with our mini mission trip to Honduras.  I don’t think anyone was really looking forward to Honduras-they told us we would be out doing ministry from 8 in the morning until 10 at night, and then sleeping on the floor of a church. And considering the fact that the Honduras border is only 20 minutes or so away from Puerto Barrios, we were expecting a similar cultures and the dark spiritual climate that surrounds our own port city. But Puerto Cortes was completely different than any of us expected. First of all, everyone...

I feel pressed on every side. I hear the loud whispers from my enemy: "You can't do it! You suck! You are a loser! You have been forsaken! Go home! Do it, go home! You have failed! Your passion is gone! Nothing you do is good enough! Your Father doesn't want you! God doesn't love you! Look around! He's not even here!!" And on they go. They sound so real; so true at times. I think about who God says I am and lately they seem so farfetched. I feel like David in Psalm 31: "Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am in trouble; my eye wastes away with grief,...

There are so many things that are being stirred in my heart. So many! I have experienced so many ups and downs and inside outs that I am a living, breathing paradox! I'm a Saint that sins. I'm a believer that doubts. I'm confident and insecure. I have peace yet worry about the future. I know that God has called me to be a leader, but I question if I have authority. I know who I am in Christ yet I fall to pieces in my shortcomings. I speak the truth but sometimes lie. I am a radical giver that tends to be quite selfish. I'm brave yet afraid. I'm patient and yet...
