One Word

Training camp has been awesome so far. One word to describe this week: EXCITEMENT! As a leader this is my second time in a training camp, and even though I'm learning a lot of the same things, I still have a ridiculous amount of enthusiasm and excitement in my bones. If life on the field in Kenya is going to be anything like training camp has been, this is going to be a season full of energy. God has been faithfully showing up and using worship and prayer to build me up with anticipation at the amazing things He is going to do this summer. I don't know what these...

Praise God for community and freedom. In the past few days at training camp, He has clearly blessed me immensely with both. I could not be more thankful for the people that God has placed on my team, they are all so joyfully goofy and SO fun to be around. It’s crazy to think that we have only known each other for a few days, anyone seeing us together would think that we have all been friends for years. I am so incredibly excited to see how the Lord chooses to use all of our different gifts for His name. God has already begun to make such a change in my heart in the past few days...

Training Camp

On Friday, I flew to our training camp, which was a flight from Cleveland, Ohio to Atlanta, Georgia. I haven't flown since 7th grade and I was overcome by the beauty that is our God. I tend to "get used to" the beauty that I am around on a daily basis and God reopened my eyes as we landed in Atlanta. When the plane took off from Cleveland, if was pouring rain. Honestly, I was disappointed. I wanted to be able to watch the city grow faint as I peered out the window. But, the Lord knew what was in store for me and He knew what He was about to teach me. So graciously, God...

Thankful

Dear God, I want to thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to be here. The opportunity for you to work in me. To show others who you are who are desperate for your love. I want to thank you for choosing me to open up to others and for myself to grow into your love as each day passes with all your blessings. I have no idea how your going to use me, but God have your way. I am so honored and humbled to be here in Africa. It's only been about a day and a half since landing here. I'm already so amazed by you. Your heart...

Life on the Field

Since January 19, I have woken up to a land that I was only acquainted with through books, photographs, television, movies, or stories told by others. I've stepped foot outside of my humble home (a two person tent), and been greeted by a haze filtered view of the Great Rift Valley, banana trees in Meru, or, perhaps the dusty, desolate terrain surrounding Tangi Tatu. The last few months of my life have been, quite easily, the best months of my life, riddled with the most stellar and most difficult experiences I have endured. From trying, so, so hard to be patient with my...
