What does it means to be a Christian has been popping into my head a lot. I ask myself this question a lot during this adventure. Am I really being a Christian? Who am I? Who am I supposed to be? All these questions going around my head without no answers. I started praying and asking God what I am doing wrong. He wasn’t answering my questions. He was just giving me more questions. NOT COOL JESUS! I expected Him to give me the answers when I wanted it. I kept telling Him dude we have to have a serious conversation on our partnership this is not working out. God send my dad to have a...

One. Month one in Nepal looked a lot like this: Walking. And a lot of it. Learning the real meaning of “look both ways before crossing the street” because the vehicles find any suggested path to get to their destination (even the cows on the streets are on a mission). Learning that clean water, as well as “unlimited” water is a privilege. Two water tanks for 15 humans to clean, cook, and shower with, goes way quicker than you think. Spending the mornings loving our slum kids who live under tarps, sleep on the ground, and run up to us in the same clothes they were...

Two weeks ago yesterday, I stepped onto Nepal dirt. Sometimes I struggle knowing whether I have a Chaco tan line or a Chaco dirt line on my feet (usually the second), but there is one thing I am certain of — God is here, there, and everywhere. I see God in the Himalayan hills (the mountains are still in hiding among the clouds). I see God in the glorious masterpiece of the sky every night as the sun sinks below the horizon. I see God in the hearts of my teammates as they speak truth and wisdom into each other’s lives. I see God in the city slums as children receive love through...

Have you ever said the phrase “I Wish I could….”    The end of this sentence could be anything from going on vacation, making a lot of money, looking like that super model, have that persons life, and the list goes on. But do you know what, many people just say these things but don’t actually mean then or don’t think that they will actually happen. And I am the first to say that I have totally said this.    On my World Race I sometimes would catch myself saying, “ Wow I wish that I could sleep in my own bed, take a hot shower, eat...

Life in Nepal is different. It looks like praying that the street dogs don’t bark so you can get some much needed rest at night. It looks like sharing a small flat with 14 strangers. It looks like bucket showers every few days. It looks like hand washing laundry on the roof and praying it doesn’t rain so your clothes can actually dry. It looks like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches every day. It looks like dirty hair and blistered feet. It looks like walking (a LOT). It looks like a van fit for 15 passengers carrying 23. It looks like teaching English and dancing with kids...
