No step laid down by Him is ever laid in vain. He has a purpose for every step, therefore, every step should be taken intentionally and carefully! I learned from the potential move to Guatemala that I need to solely rely on the Lord to guide my steps. Running ahead and making my own plans

I am continually amazed at how God can change hearts in a short amount of time. Yet, if He wanted to, He could change anyone in a second. I am glad He chooses the slower route, so He can walk with us! We have been back for about 5 days and although our surroundings are

The uneven broken stairs made from multiple rocks were cutting through my thin, old, flimsy flip-flops. Don’t get me wrong, I love my flip-flops, but for this, I was wishing I had

Day 3 – Thursday, July 26 cont. We arrived in San Pedro around mid morning and headed straight to the bathroom, of course! As each one came out of the bathroom, Ashley greeted us with this face of pure joy as she pointed down the hall to the Dunkin’ Donuts sign! The entire group minus

Monday afternoon, I got a call from a friend asking if Jake and I wanted to take a few days to travel to other parts of Guatemala, Honduras and possibly Belize. The only catch was we could only pack a backpack each and our transportation and room and board would be kept to minimal expenses.

Soft spoken unless he is preaching the Word of God. Soft tempered unless his family or his God are being threatened. Always kind! Always sweet! He came home after a long (and surely hot) day. A dozen pink roses in tow for his bride of 27 years. It wasn’t their anniversary or some special occasion;
