Where is the Peace?

Panama!!

If you are a college student or really any person trying to figure out what the heck God has planned for your life let me just say that is a hard, confusing, and annoying place to be. I’m here to say I still have no clue about what I am doing, but here is how I found peace in the meantime. I just do not understand how an 18-year-old supposed to know what to major in or what job to get. For a long time, I have felt stuck in the mindset that the corporate world is an evil place, medical school takes a horribly long time, teaching is underpaid, but also that you can’t...

Take Time to Process

Panama!!

Take time to process.Do you ever put something off because you know you will have to process it? When I process something it forces things to shift back into reality.The reality for me is I’m back in the states after a month of getting to serve in Panama!I’m grateful to have some everyday comforts back like clean sheets and hot water. But I’d give those up and leave again in a heartbeat. As I transition back to my usual routine I’m so thankful for all the opportunities the Lord had and has for me through the exposure to life on the World Race.This past month as I...

Panama!!

I struggle with words and expressing myself often.But as I endured what I would say was my most difficult challenge mentally, spiritually, and physically, I expressed my frustrations clearly!My team and I were in the beautiful city of Boquete, Panama for a few days on our rest/adventures days and we were definitely going to make the most of it! So why not climb the largest mountain in Panama…Volcán Barú.Yeah we climbed a VOLCANO. The “we” in that statement couldn’t be more true!With lack of sleep due to excitement and a mix of other things, my body...

Jealousy Saves Me

Panama!!

In 9 days I will be back home. I came onto this trip with expectations-good expectations. I wanted to see You move in my life and the lives of those around me. I wanted to see Your Spirit move. I wanted to see a miracle so I would never doubt You again. I trusted that You would satisfy my desires with good things. (Psalm 103) Currently, I have no “amazing” stories, I have no revelations, and quite honestly it‘s hard for me to see any clear impact/fruit from my time here. But, You know my heart more than I do. ~thankfully~ You know why I wanted cool stories and why I...

Plant the Seeds (even through brokenness)

“… there is no growth without change, no change without surrender, no surrender without wound – no abundance without breaking. Wounds are what break open the soul to plant the seeds of a deeper growth.” ~The Broken Way, Ann Voskamp This quote completely describes the life I have been given. Constant change. Wounds left wide open. Surrendering everything -all your hurt, pain, heart, future, relationships, life- to God is one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. However, it is the sweetest and most rewarding experience of my life. God has been molding me into...

Why I Believe the Kingdom Needs Less Mission Trips

Chile June 2017

I am writing this blog from Calama, Chile where I am finishing a month on the field with a World Race Team. For months I’ve researched the World Race, dreaming of all the things it might mean to live life with the Lord on the race. I’ve spent hours vlog stalking, reading blogs, and following Instagram posts. I have become quite familiar with one of Adventure in Missions’ slogans, The World Race: More than a Mission Trip.Naturally, I thought this was fairly cheesy advertising and simply moved on. But after only one month of learning from World Racers, experiencing life with...
