"...I commit my cause,”
“As for me, I would seek God, and to God would I commit my cause,” Job 5:8 The time is almost here! Many of my good friends have already launched off to the field and in just 11 days I will too. Bittersweet just doesn’t seem to capture the crowd of emotions that dance around my heart in these final days. BUT over them all, God’s indescribable peace and confidence, that I am exactly where he wants me, shuts up all the fear, sadness and anxiety. Period. One of God’s many lessons for me this past month in preparing me is housed in the book of Job. The Lord drew me to this book and… Read more >>"O (insert your name HERE), hope in the Lord!"
“I wait on the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchman for the morning, more than watchman for the morning. O (insert your name HERE), hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption.

GoCorps and ReachGlobal and hopefully all missions organization encourage, or in my case require, I take a day a week to rest or honor a Sabbath. It doesn’t necessarily need to be Sunday but they push the ideology of taking a day a week to actually rest, refill and refocus on what we’re doing and who we’re really doing it for.… Read more >>
“If you are willing and obedient..."
“If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat of the good of the land;” Isaiah 1:19 He’s done it again! Jesus, the Savior and provider of all things has done it! In just 5 week Jesus has provided ALL of my financial support! All the praise goes to him for providing and I am just grateful I was able to part of what he is doing in the lives of others who have and will hear about all he’s done and is doing in my life! For me, I really do have to live through things for the lesson to truly be learned and work its way from my head down to my heart. The truth of Isaiah 1:19 is now in my heart… Read more >>
