I am so excited to see what the Lord is going to be doing in the next few weeks as I explore his mission field in Rwanda, loving on his precious sons and daughters of Africa! First of all, thank you thank you THANK YOU to everyone who is supporting me on this journey. Words cannot describe how much this opportunity means to me, and I can't wait to share it with you as well. Second, I want to share with you some of my thoughts that I've been having while preparing for this trip. I created my own blog website which is called bygracethroughfaith5.blogspot.org. I came...

Friends and family,  I hope this blog is reaching you well! We currently are here in ATL preparing for the beginning of this exciting journey.

I'm not even out of America and God has already shown us a glimps of His great power.  We all met at the airport and then shuttled to the Hotel where we stayed the night and did some preporations for our departures. After dinner and some "get to know each other time" we had some "serious time." In the serious time our leaders, Chris & Holly, talked about listening prayers. I heard this term on a trip with AIM last summer and although I forgot the term God has been working with me a lot on listening to Him over the past year. However, last night was WAY...

…We can grow brighter than the SON.” Okay, FUN. May actually say “sun” instead, but I like my version better. Tonight I get on a plane for South Africa. I have vague ideas of what I am getting myself into and I’m sure the real thing will make a joke of my silly ideas anyways, so I’m really not too concerned with knowing. But because God is gracious to us and knows how to best encourage us when he asks us to step into the unknown, here is what I do know: God is bringing me into a greater version of my identity. He has been teaching me to actually...
