He is jealous for me Love's like a hurricane, I am a tree Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory and I realize just how beautiful You are and how great your affections are for me. Oh, how He loves us so Oh, how He loves us How He loves us so. Yeah, He loves us Woah, how He loves us Woah, how He loves us Woah, how He loves. So we are His portion and He is our prize, Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes If grace is an ocean we're all sinking So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss and my...

Remembered the flash drive this time….my blog wasn't saved on there. Stayed tuned though folks…I'll have several to post next week. Keep praying! Grace abounds. God is good. So stinkin good. Joyfully, "gorgeousboyles" – new nickname from my team

These past 2 weeks have been awesome! We've been playing with babies, hanging out with kids, searching through garbage pits, raking leaves, organizing/cleaning a gross garage, cutting down trees and tons of other stuff! At night we worship, have bonfires, have team time and hangout. It's pretty cold here but you warm up during the day when you're working. We have beds, hot showers (sometimes), a kitchen and electricity! The kids are adorable! They love to play and go on walks. They are all so full of joy! They have clothes, beds, food to eat and they get to go to school! There...

          Sitting barefoot on the ice cold floor of the yoga room, we were singing praise and worship for what felt like the millionth time that week. I was mentally struggling, feeling awkward and incapable of connecting with the song we were singing. Surrounded by some of the most spiritual and amazing people I have ever met, I felt like such an outsider. These were people who told endless stories about healings and exorcisms they had witnessed and people they had prayed for. Needless to say, I felt a little out...

"He must increase, but I must decrease," is my jam verse for the following month while I am in South Africa.  This verse is such a great reminder that everything we do, we make Christ the center of our lives.  It is not about us, it is all about Him.  I just love this verse.  I pray that I will continue to let Christ be the center of my life even when I feel as if I can't do it anymore or I just get annoyed at times.  I know that He will always be there to help me get through it.  I know I couldn't do it alone. That is for sure. Thank you,...

So I have a whole actual blog written but I'm using a computer in an internet cafe and my flash drive doesn't work so I'll just have to do a short one! First off, Swaziland is beautiful! We are on a mountain and The view is seriously insane! 🙂 Our days mainly consist of working from 9-3 (cleaning a camper, digging holes, making fire breaks-to keep the orphanage from burning down if there's a real fire, raking leaves, playing with the babies…) and then helping the older kids with their homework from 3-5, doing chapel with the kids and then dinner and time with our...
