Halfway

Today is October 20, 2018 and I began acknowledging that wow I have past the halfway mark on this adventure. Have I been doing what the Lord has been telling me? Have I grown more? What can I work on more in my faith? As I was working on my reading and my homework there parts where I question my own believes. I think I was just overthinking too much. I struggle so hard with being very confident in being Bold in my faith. Well that was before I came here to Nepal. Meeting everyone here and having them by my side helps me so much. They give me their strengths and I learn with them and being...

Thing that spoke to me

Saturday Lecture  It’s easy to see what we don’t have.  Often we forget what we do have and who we are. Who are you? Everything starts small and as we trust God he can make everything bigger.

Never Changed, Yet Always Changing

Some lyrics from the song “Rest in You” by All Sons and Daughters have been on my heart lately and I wanted to share them with you all: “You cannot change, Yet You change everything” We make mistakes. Our faith waivers. We fall short. Our heart changes. We sin. We are constantly changing, yet He never does. His love is constant. His grace is constant. His hope is constant. His strength is constant. His peace is constant. We went to an orphanage on Monday for children ages five and under. We were playing outside with some of the kids when our taxi driver, Jonathan,...
