rolling in the deep

Sitting in a bar called Green Devil, me and two team mates are trying our hardest to hear our own thoughts and just pray silently because not one bar girl is talking to us-but the music is raging. It is always the loudest in this bar. Add the visual distractions and it feels like a lost cause. We keep making eye contact that is screaming "how am I supposed to pray in here?!" It was a battle to keep our minds on Christ for an extended period of time but as soon as I had been praying for at least 30 seconds straight, I heard God telling me to keep standing. It was a weird thing to...

So the whole prophecy thing is real?! God is good and faithful ladies and gentlemen

Oh my goodness guys, I am bursting with joy right now. We just got back from a night on Bangla Road and do I have news for you. What news? GOD IS FAITHFUL! One week ago (last Tuesday actually), God gave me such a vivid image. My mind felt numb, which was probably a good thing because my brain is always running. My stomach felt weird. I felt light and heavy. AND GOD TOLD ME some very specific things. God gave me a name, for privacy sake, lets say it was Arethia. Now, please understand, most of the girls names here are one syllable names…very simple names at that. So the four...

Everyone Needs Compassion, The Kindness of a Savior, The HOPE of Nations

Goodness gracious, I have so much to say and I cannot wait to tell you about my life. Even though I posted only a few days ago, so much has happened here at SHE! I want to give a shout out to all the stinking amazing friends and family that I have! You guys have been incredible prayer warriors, I am so thankful! God really used my time in the Hospital to show me how much I am loved! It is so hard to express, but I cry on a daily basis because of the amazing love that God has shown me, both through my teammates and all my friends and family. He is so good! Yesterday I was back to my baking...

The most beautiful orchestrator. The most relentless pursuer.

The most beautiful orchestrator. The most relentless pursuer.   My God is so big. So powerful. So beautiful. So loving. So giving. So willing to reveal things to me. I can’t even begin wrap my head around His immensity most of the time, and I think the thing that blows my mind the most is that He has the most beautifully orchestrated plans for each and every one of us. Even me. He orchestrated the trip to the Dominican Republic I got to go on last summer, He orchestrated my move to Bloomington, He orchestrated my stay in Thailand…and He’s beginning to show me...

Invisible, Yet Seen

Time is flying fast. There is about a week left of ministry here in Phuket and then we will be in Bangkok for about a week doing final debrief things. 2 weeks left. And I am no closer to figuring out what's next for me after leading this trip. After this trip it is just blank- a big white canvas with nothing on it. In a way it is quite exciting because anything can be possible, but at the same time it somewhat scares me to not have a clue where God is taking me next- that anything indeed is possible. Sometimes it just feels that I am completely lost even...

My team has been incredible prayer warriors for me and I am beyond blessed to have them be a part of my life!! Thank you also for all my prayer warriors back home you have also been a huge blessing!!

During my stay in the Hospital God kept speaking to me that His Grace is Sufficient! 2 Corinthians 12 is one of my favorite verses and so...
