Thanksgiving

God, I praise and thank you for this beautiful day. I thank you for being my father and never leaving my side. I thank you for sticking by me, even when I gave up on you. I thank you for choosing me even when I denied you. I thank you for holding me and drawing close to me when I was scared or worried. I thank you for picking me back up when I failed. I thank you for your forgiveness and redemption. For seeing me as a Saint not a sinner. I thank you for not only taking away my punishment, but then adopting me as your own daughter.  I thank you for having mercy and patience on a wicked...

What Will You Fight For?

Everyday we have a choice to be full of the Fruit of the Spirit. Some days that may come easily as we get good night sleeps and have something wonderful happen to us. Other days it can become this spiritual struggle.  Once the enemy sees something great in you, he chooses to attack you because he is the enemy of love. He will allow you to wake up feeling horrible and full of depression.  You have a choice to accept that negativity or fight for the Fruit of the Spirit. It’s not a simple choice, where you can just magically choose it and get it. I said fight for a...

The Story of a Villager

We did our second village outreach on Friday night and it was an awesome night having the Lord lead us.  We went to bless but feel we received more blessings in return from the amazing men, women, and children we met. We were able to see the passion and hope God has given them through their tears.  They expressed their love by blessing us with soda and snacks. They shared their stories, which brought us to a place of awe with the Lord. His love and power is beyond what we can comprehend.    One of the families we visited shared a story of their recent miracle. The...

Unfathomably Faithful

 God is unfathomable and infamous. He is mysterious and mighty. How can a God so big and powerful love a small girl like me? Sometimes I do not understand the affection that God has for me. It has been easy for me to think that God doesn't love me as much as He loves others, but that is a lie! God knows me personally. He knows every freckle on my face and the number of hairs on my head. Just because God is the King of the universe does not mean He doesn't have time to spend with me. Our God is a personal God and loves to spend time with His children.    ...

Village Outreach

We went on our first village outreach on Friday the 11th to a small village with roughly 60 homes and a Christian church, with a small following.   When we arrived, children crowded the van to greet us and to shake our hands.  We were introduced to the pastor of the village and he showed us the church of the village.  The church is a one-room building that had colorful decorations across the ceiling, chairs that can be moved in and out, a speaker, and a podium.  The church building is small but I know that it is a place where people are hungry for the word and...

Isaiah 12

Isaiah 12 And in that day you will say: O Yahweh, I will praise You; Though You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me. Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For YAH, Yahweh, is my strength and my song; He also has become my salvation. Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. And in that day you will say: Praise Yahweh, call upon His name; Declare His deeds among the peoples, Make mention that His name is exalted. Sing to Yahweh, For He has done excellent things; this is known in...
