The past few weeks here in Guatemala I can not even fully explain. It is a more of a different experience then I ever thought. God has been opening my eyes in many different ways, one being through the children´s hospital here in Puerto Barrios. Honestly, my whole life I have been intiminated by hospitals and had no desire to even attend one. So the other week our whole team went to the hospital, which was unlike one I have ever seen in the States. It was there, when I realized how sanitary and safe the hospital in the States really are. We are blessed there and most...

It doesn’t really matter so much that puerto barrios isn’t my favorite city in the world. Right now, in this season of life, there is honestly non place I’d rather be, because I know that I am home. I am here in His love, and it is here that I’m home. It’s a love that Gods only just begun opening my eyes to. I’m realizing for the first time that he loves me enough to truly want the best for me. And even if that means the future isn’t going to look like what I originally had planned, it’s going to be something so much greater than I could have...

“I am the Lord; I have called you in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you; I will give you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations, to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness.” –Isaiah 42:6   This week I have been learning what it means to walk step in step with God. This verse has encouraged me so much, I just love the picture of God taking me by the hand and walking with me, instead of allowing me to walk by myself. He not only calls us, but he then takes us...

This is a blog I drafted two weeks ago to share with y’all: With sweat dripping down my face, muscles straining and every fiber of my body shaking, I try to lift the weight… My friend, Walker, stands beside me laughing hysterically. I fall over, completely exhausted, and the weight crushes my foot. The crowd of kids laughs hysterically. I shake my head and limp off, as Walker tries his hardest to lift the giant load. With a grimace on his face he hoists the weight only a few inches off the ground and then falls over on his back as I, with chest swelling, laugh at his failure....

              Isn’t she beautiful? This amazing girl has captured my heart. Beverly is 16 years old and was born blind. But I am a witness, this girl can really see. And she sees beautiful things.             Last Tuesday, we were scheduled to go to the special children’s school and I was super excited to see Beverly and spend time with her. Last time I saw her, I gave her a pair of my used capris that I brought to give to the kids. I was hoping that when I see...

“So, when He heard that he was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was.” JOHN 11:6 When God is silent in your life, what is your instant reaction? “Oh my God has forsaken me. He has left me here utterly alone.”  NO. On the contrary God is showing you a deeper level of intimacy and trust. “Has God trusted you with a silence—a silence that is big with meaning? God’s silences are His answers. Think of those days of absolute silence in the home at Bethany! Is there anything analogous to those days in your life? Can God trust...
