And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.   – 2 John 1:6

Joy has definitely come to my world.  I reflect on  2009 and I am astonished at how God steered my year.  Never in my life did I expect to go to Africa and yet I did.  Never did I think we would be blessed by meeting so many incredible people here and in Africa and […]

“I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately, to suck the marrow from the bones of life; to put to rout all that was not life, and not to come to the end of life, and discover that I had not lived.” – Henry David Thoreau

When we know that God is calling, just answer the call.  When we  know that God is prompting, just answer the call.  It takes a split second for the voice of reason and human doubt to enter in and force us to hang up. When we ask ourselves, “why me?”, we respond with “why not […]

And be not conformed to this world…be transformed…prove what is good…~ Romans 12:2 As we all know it can be difficult to “not” conform to this world.  If we feel as if we don’t “fit in” it’s probably a good thing!  Conforming to this world means putting many “things” in higher priority than God.  Those […]

Well, I will be honest, I have been really frustrated lately with my second half  journey.  Worrying about  MY plans, MY path, going MY WAY on MY time line!  Enough already!  At times, completely losing sight of who I am serving here and getting caught up in the “world” of this instead of the “spirit” […]
