The first official day of training was great!! The airplane ride to Atlanta was a bit rough due to turbalance and my suitcase being to heavy! Lol I also had to get patted down!! Last night we spent time listening to God and praying for one another. I loved it. I slept great last night and now I’m preparing to fly tonight for 15 hours! Whoa!! So excited!! I will be in Mybeia Tanzania! Time to go hard!! Pray for safe travels!! Love my team! We will all be separate into different parts in Tanzania but we continue to pray for one another!! I'm excited to be with Abigail and Alyssa!...

Today we are leaving for Tanzania! Yesterday I found out my team assignment and the ministry in which I’ll be working with this month. I will be a member of team Heart Refinery.

We will also be doing some landscaping and construction. Prayers are greatly appriciated for safe travels for all involved on The Passport and The World Race, for our time on the field, and for all the people we...

Wow. I cannot believe it's all over. I flew out of JoBurg Saturday, into Amsterdam Sunday and picked up a nose ring on the way out 🙂 , then into Atlanta that night and drove home to South Carolina Monday. Everything has gone by way too fast! I really cannot believe it's over. I can't believe I won't be with my team every day anymore. I can't believe they're driving to Mozambique. I can't believe I have said goodbye to everyone. I can't believe I'm back home in my room while they're off continuing to travel the world (and Arkansas in Lauren's...

God you are so awesome! I am so sorry for not recognizing that more and acting accordingly! You have done so much for me! Thank you for always being there for me! For being faithful when I am faithless! Thank you for your word so we can learn who you are and how we should live! Consume me with a desire for you! A hunger for your word! There is SO much to learn and I WANT to learn it! I want to grow in my knowledge of you! I want to become more like you! God I want your fullness, your presence! I selfishly want you to do something crazy awesome through me or in me!  Thank you for these...

This month, we had some amazing nights of worship and 30 hours of prayer. It was pretty incredible. During one night of spontaneous prayer and worship some pretty awesome things happened. I briefly touched on it in a previous blog, but it's on my heart again. That night was so awesome for me because it started out with such an obvious God thing (talking about wanting to be more comfortable praying out loud and then having the night start) and it was just an incredible experience all around. As it turns out, God gave me MANY opportunities to grow in boldness this month. These...
