"Would you rather know that you are loved, accepted or important?" I was posed this question two weeks ago, and it has been on my mind ever since. Allegra was the one who asked the question, and she followed it quickly with: "I bet I know which one it is. I think you probably would want to know that you are important." I knew that the question was much deeper than my environment would let me think at that moment, so I shrugged it off. "I'm not so sure… I'm gonna have to get back to you on that one." Well I've been...

Gasping for air, I risk glancing over my shoulder to see if something or someone is still hot on my trail chasing me. I don't rest long; in a split second I see the big. black blob after me – relentless on giving up. The dust it kicks up only adds to my terror, so I run faster and faster. I can hear it approaching as I pick up speed. All of a sudden, I abrubtly come crashing down a long set of stairs that suspiciously appeared out of no where – causing me to instantly wake up in a cold sweat. I'm sure everyone has had this reoccuring dream that happens right as we are...

God is so good at turning moments into learning moments. Long story short we were having a moment in the girls room that presented a friendly disagreement (that isnt important to the lesson) and then the sharing of wisdom from our leader, Shawndell (a good place for it to come from). She shared that everything Jesus did was purposeful. Lets review right away…… EVERYTHING Jesus did was purposeful. And also important to note, He was Spirit led. Jesus had a reason for every word he spoke, music he listened to, food he consumed, relationships he pursued, friendships...

This was my life before I was changed forever by the beautiful place I now call home, Nicaragua. Before Nica (for funsies)… … I would scream at the top of my lungs when I saw a huge spider, now we have come to be everyday acquaintances. … I thought porter potties were gross. … Having four or five people in my car seemed to be a full load, now I have seen not only how many people can fit in the back of a truck but also on a bicycle. … I knew what a hot shower felt like. … I DIDN’T LIKE COFFEE (Most of...

To the things and people of this world: I DO NOT SERVE YOU ANY LONGER The Lord has taken my life as His. He has claimed my being as His vessel to spread His truth to His people. He has created me to be a missionary. He chooses YOU to be one too. He has given you eyes to see the lost souls, a mouth to speak in love to them, ears to hear their cries, and feet to run to them and give them comfort. He has put intentionally put you in a situation where this happens every day. Believe me, He has. When are your eyes going to adjust to the darkness that has invaded this world? Being a follower of...

Hello! Sorry I have been the biggest slacker about blogging. Welp. For those of you who haven't had the chance to check out all the pictures on Facebook, here are a few commemorating some excellent moments from the past few weeks: We were invited to go on a day-trip with the church from Bethel! Such a fun day 🙂 This is a picture of the hike we took down the mountain. Interesting, eventful trip… Lindsey and I with some friends from Leon. The precious little girl on my lap is named Namari. She is my buddy when we go to the basketball court to play with...
