I’ve Been Running

Recently, my beautiful, remarkably persistent, leader, Danielle, insisted that I join her for a jog. Danielle: “Just to the bridge, and back! A mile and a half.”Me: “Sure, okay. Why not?” (Note: Read this in an annoyingly naïve voice.) Let me tell you “why not”: It’s miserably hot, and deathly humid. Thanks to AIM’s “lovely” dress code, this war will be fought in long pants.

Adventure is Out There Pt. 3

However, when the Lord is working in such voluminous ways around me, it’s hard to fight back the tears.

I remember the moment so vividly when my ministry host, Vandy, told us we would be teaching English every day. My stomach dropped. I thought “You’ve got to be kidding me. That’s the last thing I want to...
