The Moments In-Between

I’ve been on the mission field for nearly three months now.  Sometimes it seems like a long time, but, in actuality, ninety days is nothing.  It’s a blink of an eye, a moment in time.  Despite the fleeting reality of three months, I have learned lessons that will last me a lifetime.  I have learned what it means to go into seasons of life with my hands wide open.  I have learned what it is to love deeply and to love well, even when it breaks my heart.  I have learned more about studying God’s Word and appreciating the tangible gift of life...

Thoughts on Re-Entry

      This season is coming to an end until I must enter into the ‘real’ world. It’s true that time waits for no man.      I will soon be amongst people who have known me for my entire life. The people who have seen me cry, laugh for joy, and all the pain of growing up. They saw the formation of the beginning of my life. The creation of my values, beliefs, and skills.      I will soon leave the people who have known me for the past 3 months. They have seen me triumph and fail, grow and recede, through humor and gloom. They have...

Crazy Love

Time after time again I’ve been reminded of Jesus’ crazy love for me and you. He’s shown it to me in the smallest moments and in the moments where my heart has been broken into a million pieces. He’s shown it to me in situations I don’t understand and in situations that I thrive in. I’ve seen that there is truly no limit to His love. Seeing children as young as six years old carrying their baby siblings for hours reminds me of the love of our Father. They often look exhausted and worn out, but they never complain. They love their little sibling so much...

The Things I’ve learned

At the beginning of this trip, I thought I knew who I was and where I am with God. I Said yes to him and got on the plane. I’ve never been on a plane before. It was intense I didn’t know if I was going to get scared or how I was going to react. I only knew Maddy for a couple of days. I asked if I could hold her had and she let me. It was so funny and great. We let go and I was looking around to see what I can do. I was trying to sleep and it didn’t work out. We thought we were later for our next flight and we went running to get to the spot we needed. Turns out the plane...
