God says that I can't keep putting Him in a box. I say that I want more of God but do I really believe that God can work through me to raise the dead, heal the sick, and heal the broken hearts. I hear it, I read it but do I believe it? Until I believe that God can do anthing, I keep building a bigger box for God to live in. God says break down the box! Because when I set God free, than I will be free!

Life on the Field

Here i am Day 3 of debrief in the beautiful city of Granada. Woke up early, showered and spent some quality time with our amazing Heavenly Father in a quaint little courtyard. In a few minutes some of us are going to walk to the bakery and get delcious pastries, what could be better, right? This whole debrief is not just a vacation, however. Not only is this time going to be filled with laughter, shopping, amazing food and fellowship with our team. But I pray that during these 5 days my team is ENERGIZED, I pray my team is REJUVENATED,...

Nine Secret Children

Last night things began to fall into place when we attended a celebration dinner at a local family´s house to praise God for the beginnings of miraculous healing in Jimy, a six-year-old boy who is afflicted with cerebral palsy. Something changed in both my thought process and my actions last night as I began to catch the vision. As we walked through the barrios on the way to Jimy´s house Hope peered her head over the front gate of Mari´s home and enthusiastically yelled, ¨Mari!¨ Mari, a...

Dear God, I’m seriously so sad it’s crazy. I can constantly feel the tears welling up behind my eyes and a lump in my throat the size of a golf ball. In a way I asked for this, I asked you to keep breaking me down more and more. I wasn’t however, prepared for this at all, I thought I was broken enough. I thought I cried enough from my heart breaking for the people here in Nicaragua, you called me here and instantly made me feel at home. Now, I find myself wanting to be back home in Minnesota. I...

Searching for Home

One of the deepest desires of my heart is to find home, that place where I know and am intimately known. I am tired of continually packing my bags, leaving people and memories behind as I search for my next project or spiritual adventure. I no longer want a certain place to be my home for four months, six months or even a couple years. My heart longs to move somewhere and confidently say, ¨Through the good and the bad, I will commit to living here and loving this group of people for five, ten, maybe even fifteen years. ¨ I have never known commitment, and I´m not...
