Life as a Missionary

I really wish I could sit here and tell you that living a life as a missionary is pretty simple, but the reality of it is that not everybody can do this. Not everybody is willing to give up their comforts of life and walk by faith into the unknown, having to fully trust God…

Are you a Victim or Victor?

I don’t know if you have ever experienced the messiness of life, but it can be tough sometimes to want to continue to keep moving forward. I want to ask you, what do you do when you face trials? When you lose your job? When your boyfriend or girlfriend leaves you? When you feel like…

It is better to _, than to __.

It wasn’t until I went to Africa that I found out that living in a western culture, that was filled with abundance, numbed me to how oblivious I was to walking in the ways of this world. Although I didn’t come from an extremely wealthy family, we had more than any little African child could…

You Are Worth It!

Living in the shadows of somebody who never sees you as being good enough really can take a toll on how you live your life. It can be manageable at first but then it gets harder to put up with. Before you know it, you are down, emotionally drained and want to give up on…

The look that led to Destruction

It started with just one look as his eyes gravitated to another woman. That look turned into a stare, and from that stare the thought of “what if” permeated his mind. As he began to entertain those thoughts he would position himself in a place to test the waters and see how much he could…

Going to the Altar

Abraham was challenged with a situation that could have been the hardest choice that he could have ever possibly faced. Around the ripe age of 75, God made a promise that through his lineage the Messiah would come into this world. It wasn’t until 25 years later that he finally ushered his son Issac into…

CHURCH – The People

As I pulled into the parking lot, smiles greeted me and hand signals guided me into the place were they would help me find a parking spot. I stepped out of the car and started walking up to the church. To be honest, I was pretty impressed with the building and all the work that…
