Thailand. A country of beauty. A place of delicious food. A people who are friendly and always smiling. Phuket, Thailand. An island with gorgeous beaches. An abundance of exotic fruits. People from all over the world vacationing. Patong, Phuket, Thailand. A city of opportunity. A town full of malls and markets. A destination for tourists from all over. Bangla Road, Patong, Phuket, Thailand. A single street.  A countless number of bars. So many people who are lost, broken, and searching.   They are looking for something but they...

On my flight down to Atlanta, Georgia from Flint for training camp before leaving for Thailand I met a man. My seat was in between two brothers flying to LA for their aunt’s funeral. Their original flight was cancelled due to a plane malfunction so they were rerouted on my flight to Atlanta. We began talking and I shared with him that I would be heading to Thailand on a mission trip in a few days. His response was, “For GOD?!?” To which I replied with a firm yes. He started screaming Hallelujah and Praise Jesus and Thank you Father. Mind you it was 6:30 am and most people...

What is pain mixed with bitterness? A big bag of wasted space. This past week that i have been in Thailand has been a complete renovation in the beginning stages. I have surrendered so much in just a week. But i guess the thing with the God of the Universe doesn't want you to just make room for Him, but to completely clear you out. SO all that is in you is all Him. Its hard to surrender defiantly when it's things you love, like being in control. But I know when i am able to finish this renovation that i will be completely changed and finally be the me that God designed me to...

Francis Chan puts it in the best way possible: Being raw with God is like holding up a raw piece of steak and handing it to Jesus, saying, “Here’s all of me Lord, take me as I am!” It is not trying to marinate it by putting seasoning on it thinking that we can spice up our life to make it look better, no, Jesus already knows everything, what your feeling, your darkest sins and what you do behind closed doors. So why do we try to hide ourselves from Him? Why do we try to cover up how we truly feel from Jesus? When we cover up things in our lives and try to make it seem...
