Marriage and Ministry – Double or Cut in Half?

About a year ago I was talking with a friend who came from the states and had been a missionary for many years. We got to talking about relationships and he gave me some really good advice that hit me. He said “The person you choose to marry will either Double your life and ministry…

A girl name ENTITLED!

I ran into a girl named Entitled yesterday. She had a very interesting story. From a young age she had been born into a family that gave her everything that she wanted. “No” was not in her vocabulary because the parents felt that if they said “no”, it would take away her happiness. As she…

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…

I am to blame, not you!

Pride can come in many different ways, but no matter how you look at it, it is still stemmed in selfishness. I look back a long time ago when I was together with my ex-girlfriend and I knew that it was time that the relationship was coming to an end. We just were not a…

TRUE LOVE

I really question if many human beings understand what true love is. I have heard many different opinions on what people think it is, but when they have to pin it down to something simple it becomes a challenge. They say things like its an emotion that they feel or something they enjoy. Things they…

You did WHAT? For free?

Almost 3 years ago God called me to leave everything behind and just go. Not knowing what I was getting into I soon came to realize that the visa that I ended up coming to New Zealand on was very specific. As long as I worked for the church and was paid through them, I…

Relationships are a Team Sport!

I absolutely love team sports. Just the idea of having to work with others to accomplish the same goal can turn into a fun challenge. The teams that do well are the ones that have the players that can learn how to adapt and work within each others strengths, while understanding their own. The greatest…
