Where have all the godly women gone?

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 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…

He was dirty!

I jumped out of bed, gave a good stretch and headed to the shower to start my day. It wouldn’t be a great start if I didn’t spend a little time with God. So after getting ready, I headed outside to enjoy the back yard of the place I was staying. I just sat there…

What Was I Thinking?

What in the world was I thinking? January 2014, I packed up my stuff and jumped on a plane with only the words of “GO 2014”. Who in their right mind is crazy enough to give up the comforts of what they know and walk into the unknown. To leave my friends, family, house, job…

As Long As…

I find that so many people love this idea of Christianity, I mean after all who wouldn’t want to live in a world based on love? A place where everybody is patient, kind, not envious, boastful or proud. A place where we all honor each other, selflessly, unangered, keeping no records of wrongs. Where we…

I Went From Riches To Rags

The money started to flow in, and I didn’t know how to spend it all. At the age of 18 I was making more money then I knew what to do with, so I started to buy the things I wanted. I remember my first investment was a powerful computer. It was so amazing; it…
