No Turning Back

           NO TURNING BACK What if the moment Christ entered your life was the moment your life changed forever? What if when you decided to follow the King of Kings He asked you to do some crazy, epic, radical things? What if He told you to leave, never looking back? would you go without question? What if He asked you to leave your family, your friends, your job, everything that has been comfortable, gone in one instant. Would you do it? What if you followed The Great I AM, It meant you were risking your everyday, ordinary, livelihood to go into the literal unknown and unexpected? Would...

What would my life look if..

Today, April 21, my team decided to dedicate the day to US MINISTRY. Instead of splitting up and going to the orphanages we chose to spend the morning ministering to each other. We started with breakfast and moved into worship. My absolute favorite thing in the world is worship! I may not have a voice that stops people in their tracks but my vocal cords work and you better believe I use them! During this time I found myself lost in the Spirit. I opened my notebook and began to write. This is what I wrote..               What if...

Final countdown. Let the games begin.

April 22, 2012 In 17 days I will be at home. Not just in America but actually at home. This time last year I remember getting ready for exams, from there the semester always FLIES by. This is out of control. In 27 days I will be leaving for camp. I will be seeing long lost friends for the first time in almost a year. I am so blessed to not feel far from them at all. In about 20 days I will see Kaitlyn and Drew. In 17 days I will hug the CRAP out of Sydney. In 17 days I will cry when I see my mom and dad and I will laugh at my sisters every word. In 27 days I start over with a new...

Why yes Jesus. You can write me anytime you want.

Dear Drayton, You are beautiful. You are a princess and I love you. There is no power in heaven or earth that could ever separate you from my love. It is higher than every mountain and deeper than every ocean. I have trained you hands for war. I need you to fight for what I stand for, you are more than capable. You have already won the battle, so keep fighting for those I love. I am calling you to be a light by showing unexplainable love. I want people to not see you anymore, I don’t want that to be the desire of your heart. I made you beautiful to bring myself glory. People will be...

Wait, whats my name again?

Radical transformation. Two words that mean you’ve been changed forever. We’ve all seen the shows on TV where someone goes in looking one way, and in a few days or even some months later they leave looking like a completely different person, inside and out. The reactions from others come in all different forms they can scream, cry, jump up and down, or shower them with compliments. In the end the person is always described in the same way: transformed.   The first trip I had taken with AIM was back in the fall of 2010 with the formally known ‘Real Life’...

Laundry… in Tanzania

Washing clothes takes a while. Especially when you are washing 40 bed sheets. By hand.    Working at Camp Joshua Christian School for the past week has been wonderful. On Friday, we asked the headmaster what we could do to help today. He asked if we would be willing to wash some clothes, “Sure!” was our response. We were told Isaac, a 12 year old boy, would help us begin.   The first step was to draw water out of the 50 foot well with a bucket and rope. It was exhausting to say the least considering we had to make probably six or seven rounds of drawing the...
