rejoicing during the waves and turbulence.
I guess I always knew it, but I didn't know how to put it into practice. For the seven years that I've been out of high school, one thing has remained constant: Facebook. Social media. The need to seek or give attention via "likes." The life moments that are ruined by someone saying, "let me [...]
Since being stationed at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, my husband and I have been members of Bay Life Church in Brandon, Florida. For the past year and a half, you may have caught us on a Sunday volunteering at the Missions Café. It is a joy to share with you that I [...]
It seems like just a few weeks ago, I was typing "Field Notes: Life in Argentina"... A new year, a new nation: HAITI. Since returning home from Argentina: I married the love of my life, packed up everything I owned, moved across the country, decorated our home, spent quality time with my husband, rescued our [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
It has been two months of preparing for the nations here at University of the Nations. I wish I could go in depth about how training is, but that would be trying to explain the infinite character of Jesus... All I can say, is I am not the same. I used to believe the term [...]
