Do you really have faith?

When God called me to the mission field, I learned a very challenging but interesting lesson. He told me to leave behind everything I owned, my friends & family, and even my dog. I felt like God was saying that I needed to walk away from the old and into something else He had for…

Talking your SELF up.

We live in a society of people who are extremely confident in themselves. We look to idolize talent and elevate humans as somebody to be like. And that causes people to want to strive to be in the spotlight and get that recognition. When I first moved to LA, I notice a commonality in the…

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…

FRACTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS

You might call me weird, but from the start I have always been a math person. There is something about problem solving with a definite answer that I loved to try and figure out. I started with learning how to count my ninja turtles, then moved into the more advanced stuff as I got older. …

I don’t need God

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…
