New Perspective

We arrived at the bus station at 1:30 for our two o'clock deparuture time in Moshi. We were headed to Uganda!! Excitement was high as we waited…and waited……and waited……….and waited……………..and waited. As mzungus (white people) we were a natural target for street vendors, especially while waiting for the bus because we couldn't really go anywhere. The longer we waited the more vendors showed up. As they accumulated I found myself getting frustrated. We were just waiting for the bus. Why couldn't they just leave...

He Has My Attention

This month has been an immense blessing to me. It's hard for me to explain how much God has taught me since coming to Tanzania. I left Malawi knowing that Tanzania was going to change my life. When we got to Moshi we learned that a World Race team would be joining us. We prayed for them. While we were praying I could feel God telling me that this month He was going to bless this team through me. I thought that sounded ridiculous… God I'm living out of a backpack that weighs less than 50lbs, and I have nearly no money. What can I bless them with. “It's not how much...

The Trouble with Blogs…

The trouble with blogs is that anyone can read them. The trouble with blogs is that they tell stories, my stories, my personal life changing stories. The trouble with blogs are they make me an open page. And the trouble with me is that I like to keep everyone and everything at arms length. I've had the hardest time bringing my self to type a new blog, or to even start thinking of a new blog for those reasons. But as I sit here thinking how to make this as personally impersonal as possible I hear God telling me to do the opposite. Tell a story that moved me...

"I love you Lord, but I want to love you more. I need you God, but I want to need you more" -Rend Collective Experiment That song has been on repeat for me the past two weeks. It is my heart's cry to God. I am so desperate to love and serve Him more and to have a deeper relationship with HIm. In the chorus of the song is says, "All that I am is dry bones without You, God, a desert soul." That line is so true. My life is so empty and dry if God isn't my cornerstone. So many people have a thirst that they are trying to quench, a void they need to fill. ...

Dry all up in here

Tanzania is a dry place. Physically, spiritually, emotionally….just dry. When we drive down the street few people wave and even fewer people smile. It is about 97 degrees everyday and in the nine days since we arrived I have prayed daily for rain. All types of rain! Physical rain (which finally arrived two nights ago), spiritual rain (Holy Spirit rain down in this place!), and emotional rain (not tears, just love). God is faithful. That is what He has been teaching me this month. He is faithful in all types of ways including filling me up. He has revealed to me that...
