God’s Not Cheap

This week for ministry I’ve been helping the ladies in the kitchen. From cleaning, to preparing vegetables, to sorting through rice…and God has shown me some pretty cool things in this time. The ladies seriously take so much time to prepare amazing meals for us. They could totally just give us cereal every morning, sandwiches for lunch, and something for dinner. Instead, they prepare meals like fresh corn tortillas with eggs for breakfast, fried chicken with rice and beans, and potatoes for lunch, and a nice meal for dinner. Everything they make is fresh, nothing processed. Not...

Blessed By A Child

Two nights ago, Thursday night, was a night I will never forget. The day began in a very ordinary way. We ate breakfast at 8, as usual, then myself and Claire and Sam went to do our daily job, painting. We painted a primer coat on a tutoring classroom and a wall of the boys house then went to lunch, and that is when I got my first hint that something was up. Before I continue I must tell you that I strongly believe in both angels and demons. I also believe that they can interact with us and our world. I experienced a demon when I was younger for a few months, but that is a story for another...

Forgive my grammatical errors, I`m typing on a spanish computer so spellcheck is red underlining every word. First, a little about what Ive been doing here. Last week I worked in the garden. We cleared out all the dead plants and then Ellario, the awesome maintenance guy here, tilled the soil with a tractor. Then we raked all the dead grass out of the soil, that took a week. This week Im on the painting team, were (I cant put in apostrophes on this keyboard) painting a house that will be for missionaries when it is finished. Each day we spend an hour with the kids here, from 4 to 5. Playing...

¡Estoy en Nicaragua!

The journey has begun. The journey that, at times, I didn’t believe I’d truly be taking. Yes, I’m in Nicaragua for two months. It’s totally awesome and I feel completely at home. My heart feels total joy. This journey began in February when I first applied. As soon as I applied, I knew this trip was for me, and I knew God was calling me here, even though I had no idea what I was signing up for. Throughout the whole process of applying, interviewing, fundraising, and preparing, I had such an immense peace, an indescribable peace. Although, there were definitely times...

There is Importance in Vunerability

For many years I have struggled with the lie: “you are unwanted”. This lie came into my head and the devil found ways to make me believe it. Then I would think about how I do have people around me who want me and love me so dearly. Unfortunately, I let this cause me to hide these feelings even more rather than comfort them because I didn’t really have a reason to complain so I decided to hold it in. This just allowed the thoughts to fester up inside of my head and a belief...

Madly In love

I was so scared to be out of my comfort zone , to let go of everything I knew. But I knew God was calling me. So I took a leap of faith and jumped into the water, the great unknown . To be honest I was so scared , I felt like I wasn’t ready but to be real nobody is. He was calling me to be more intimate with him to know him more. One night at training camp the worship leader was telling us how God is madly in love with us, I was like yea. Then I hear him whisper Do you believe that? I want to love you so much more just open up your heart and let me in. I had to let go of...
