The hardest thing i have ever had to do in my life was walk away from home in Kansas and get on a plane alone to head to Georgia for training camp. The most difficult part by far was saying goodbye to my family, hugging them as the tears roll from their eyes and then walking away with the Lord. The whole plane ride i just cried and questioned God why is this something You want? Why do you want me to do this when it is causing me and my familiy so much hurt? I even began to question if this is worth it to go to Thailand. THEN i got here to training camp and Yahweh came too. I worried that my...

Hello everyone!! I am so thankful to be out of the Hospital and back to a speedy recovery!!! 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!! It's weird because I hardly remember my time in the hospital, but I was so blessed to have so many of my lovely friends come visit me and keep me company! 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 purposeful...

John 10:3-4 " The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice."   Over the past month I have come to realize that God speaks to me personally and God has been taking me on a  journey of learning how to discern His voice.    While prayer walking down Bangla road with my team on Tuesday afternoon, I kept hearing his still, small voice and was trying frantically to write it all down before I forgot.  We were walking...

I am sorry for not writing until now. I have been in Thailand for three weeks now. I have no excuse. It is so hard for me to write and describe what I have seen and been apart of. I wish I could take you all with me one night as we minister on Bangla Road in Patong (the bar ministry we are apart of). It would make all what I have seen these past few weeks make much more sense. So please bear with me.  We are working with an organization who gets girls out of the bars and helps them see their real worth in God and that they have other options besides selling...

Sometimes when we go out to the bars it seems that we are completely invisible. Sometimes it is a good thing because we can slip under the radar more easily, but sometimes even the girls at the bars completely ignore us. So Friday night when we were getting ready to go out, my group and I prayed that it would be a completely different night for us and it was. God told us to just go to whatever bar we wanted to and just act in faith. So we did just that. Two of my girls had a wonderful conversation with one of the girls at the bars. She knew that they deserved so...

Back in April in my Core group (shout out : )) at school, we were asked to choose a characteristic of God that we wanted to focus on this Summer. There was a list of what God is in each book of the Bible to choose from. I chose the Spirit’s power not knowing what that would entail, but knowing that the Holy Spirit is a powerful tool that walks with us. Monday was our first night doing bar ministry as a team. We didn’t find out we were all going out until right before lunch. When I found out, I am pretty sure I did a fist pump! I was so excited! My excitement built all day long. In...
