Take My Bed

Life on the Field

In the future I will show hospitality to others. I can’t do it now. I still live with my parents. The house I live in isn’t super nice. My couch isn’t even that comfortable. Being hospitable is for people with extra money and lots of extra space in their houses. People with “guest rooms.” Before this past weekend I believed this to be true, but my view of hospitality has been changed. And it wasn’t changed by a little old lady. It wasn’t changed by an adult at all. The person who showed me true hospitality was a 14 year old girl. This story begins...

Let’s talk about spiders and mosquito nets. (Caution: cheesy analogy/rambling starts.. now!) Okay. So obviously Nicaragua has spiders. Rather big spiders in my opinion. Ask any one of my teammates how I feel about spiders, and I’m sure you will get the same reaction and a few laughs each time. On our packing list, we were told to bring a mosquito net. You know for Mosquitos (of course) and other little pests like that, but in my case… I keep my bug net up JUST to make sure spiders don’t make their way into my bed. So I put this thing above my...

I am not ill equipped. Where I lack, the Holy Spirit makes up for it. The LORD GOD, the one who made me and knows me better than I know myself, will show me where to go.

Today is day 17 of being in Nicaragua! It has gone by a lot faster than I expected. The days tend to go by kind of slow but looking back, the trip as a whole has been going by super fast! I have been challenged in ways that I never thought I’d be challenged before and I’ve had to step out of my comfort zone more than I though I would have. Every week we go to a town called Bethel to teach them some bible stories and just hang out with the kids. Normally I am drawn to little babies, but this trip I have been drawn to the boys. Every time we go, I normally end up playing...

Twelve different girls Called together as one Each one of them here By will of Father, Spirit, Son Grace has a wisdom Beyond her young years Kori makes us laugh She will bring you to tears Alexa loves soccer She kicks butt on the field Jenna is so sweet To her smile you will yield Tiffany hates spiders But loves little kids Jacq is an artist And shares music and vids Lauren is a hippie With a listening ear Kate is a teacher Words “literally” you will hear Jennifer is clever Sharp, witty, and fun Rachel is a warrior In prayer, victory is won...
