What am I talking about? Well, we all have different experiences in life. There are both good and difficult times in our lives…right? However, if we base our life off what happens to us, then our moods, attitudes, and thinking changes as easily as the breeze changes directions. There’s nothing stable about it. Let’s say you’ve had an amazing experience. You’ve been blessed with gifts you weren’t expecting, people treat you really well, you may hear from God, and etc. These are all great, but if you stay so focused on this specific time and always...

While serving for three months in Nicaragua as Passport missionaries with Adventures in Missions, we decided to recreate the drama to the song “Everything” by Lifehouse.

I am thankful to be out of drought-stricken California and back in the places where life is sweated out under the equatorial sun; where hunger pangs are satisfied by...

I was having troubles getting into my blog, but I now can finally post from last week Monday!    Wow. First thing is first, God is so good! Our first few days we were in Georgia and had training camp & at first I had no idea what to expect. Would we be doing activities, having only bible study? But wow was I wrong, it was plain life changing. We worshiped daily, even sometimes twice a day and I felt so connected to God during those times. Throughout the days we had different speakers sharing stories and Gods word that felt very personal and to the heart, which made me feel...
