Things I learned in Africa I am a daughter of the King of kings. I am made beautifully, in God's image. Satan has NO bearings in my life. I have authority in Jesus' name. I am bold, and God gives me the words to say. Boldness… That's one thing that has never really crossed my mind before going to Africa. I have always sat back and let other people talk because I never wanted to say anything wrong. Since January I've become a whole different person. I am now someone who knows what words God is giving them to speak and I speak. I no longer want to be someone in the...

It was a Tuesday.    It had been a long day, and I was tired. Actually, exhausted is more like it. We were finally driving home when our Ugandan Mama turned around and told us we were headed to the hospital to pray over a church member.   …que bad attitude.    I was tired. I was hungry. I was NOT in the mood to pray over someone at the hospital.   Upon arrival I tripped walking up the path. Awesome. By the time we made it inside I was officially in a bad mood. I followed Mama through a door into the baby ward.   The baby ward? I...

as most of you know, today is Easter.  a celebration of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. friday night we met at the church for a time of worship and listened to a word from our pastor, Joseph. i was able to have time to reflect on Jesus and what his life was/is still. when celebrating Easter in the past, at home,  I kind of thought about what the meaning was; but this time was different. we typically say that Jesus loves us so much that he came and died for us. but it is so much more than that; he died knowing that he would raise back to life. he knew the power that held....

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 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...
