rejoicing during the waves and turbulence.
Where has the time gone?! I can't believe I'll be in Haiti tomorrow morning! Thank you all so much for your love and support the past few months, and for the prayers to come in the next week. I can't wait to share this season of life with you and what God is doing in [...]
I spend another day rising. Half-felt blessed, half-felt condemned. Half of my mind praises the Lord for the wonderful life He has blessed me with; with faith in Him, the young husband, the palm trees and beaches, the life of travel... The other half of my mind wakes up ashamed; no "normal" 9-5 job (because [...]
As someone in both missions and military, I've struggled with "homesickness" for up to years at a time (even though, until recently, I never really had a home.) Since I was a little girl, I dreamed of a house like my friends. The type of house where parents marked their child's grown each year on a door post. As [...]

To say this year was a year of blessings, is an understatement. Aside from getting engaged, planning a wedding, and quitting my day job to focus on Jesus, I spent the second half of this year with University of the Nations. When I felt called to do a DTS in Kona, Hawaii, my initial thought [...]
He's in the military, I am in missions. The questions never end, even so close to the wedding. "Is it difficult?'" "How do you do it?" "Do you guys ever talk?" "Why did you leave him?" or "Why did he leave you?" "What if he finds someone else?" At first it was fun to answer [...]
The past few weeks have been INSANE. First off, holy holy holy is the Lord God almighty: I got ALL of my outreach funds in the last 24 hours before it was due. Thank you to all who supported this mission, it means the absolute world. When the last donation came in, I burst into [...]
My mind is mush. I want to type something to translate to you how amazing the YWAM Awaken DTS has been, but every time I sit to blog about it... my mind scribbles and my heart explodes and they leave me with little words. So I will list out highlights in hope that you see [...]
