“The 8 others”
"The 8 others"
My parents and myself made it to the airport after our 6 hour trip from North Carolina. There were many emotions that were running through my mind. From being exciting to being petrified. When we finally arrived to the place where everyone was suppose to meet, I realized; I am going to be living in a foreign country for 4 months with people I have never even meet. Crazy! To tell you the truth I was overwhelmed by all the people sitting down chattering away. My first thought was "wow" our team increased. But to my amazement it was all 4 teams sitting...
Remade
I now know why this organization is called “Adventures in Missions”. Between finding our way to the Safehouse and ministering on the streets of Atlanta to traveling to training camp I’ve barely had time to catch my breath and realize it’s only been three days. My real life team is already like my family and I can clearly see why God placed the nine of us together.
Every night here will have a lasting impact but last night was without a doubt the...
Where’s the nearest strip club?

Lately I’ve been snacking on a bag of Dove dark chocolates. If you’ve ever had a piece of Dove chocolate you know that on the inside of each wrapper there is an inspirational message such as, “make the most of everyday” or “keep promises you make to yourself.” Well, I stopped reading these messages because I’ve eaten so many chocolate pieces and now the messages all repeat themselves.
Tonight I opened one of my few remaining pieces and popped it in my mouth. I was about to crinkle up the wrapper and throw it away, but for some reason I stopped...
Take Two
Who would have thought that only 9 weeks after returning home from the World Race, I would be back out on the field??? I sure didn’t. God tends to surprise me…A LOT. I have grown accustomed to change; so when the Lord said it was time to change some things around, I was obedient.
I am now a team leader for a Real Life trip to Nicaragua! I am co-leading a group of 7 incredible women of God who LONG to see HIS presence unfold. Not only am I excited to be emptied of myself (only to be filled back up with the Holy Spirit) but I am beyond blessed to walk...
