I am beyond thankful for this trip to Guatemala! I didn’t really have many expectations coming into this, but God opened my eyes to a lot of things. I had no idea what the Lord had in store. I had no idea the amount of relationships that would be built, both within my team and in the town of Chichicastenango. I had no idea the hardships, the triumphs, the amount of growth, the laughter, and the memories that would occur. God grew me in so many ways. My trust in Him grew. We did this thing called Listening prayer where we would draw names, not look at them, and sit and listen to the Holy...

It’s hard for me to put into words what this past month has done for me. I’ll never know how to thank the people of Guatemala for impacting me so greatly. Seeing the pure joy on the kids’ faces when we walked in the building and hearing them shout “GRINGASSSS,” or having kids on the street say the Bible verse we taught them a few days before.. that feeling knowing you made a little bit of a difference in a child’s life is amazing.

Truth is, I loved my life and the way I was living but did not want to step out of...

What is next on your agenda for the day? Did it take you less than 10 seconds to answer that question? I am a task oriented person- always ready to rattle off the scheduled business that fills every moment of my life. However, I do not believe that this is how God intended for us to live. When God created man, He gave him a task- “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth” (Genesis 1:28). God gave Adam something to accomplish. But God did...
