dreams really do come true…

We all have dreams. Sometimes they seem so impossible that we don’t actually believe that they’ll come true.   Coming to Africa was a dream of mine..and God provided and made a way for me to come. I’ve seen people delivered from all sorts of things. Demons casted out of people. The sick healed. We loved on the outcasts of communities. Spent our days with children who only got one meal a day and who were taking care of households at the age of 7. Cared for newborn babies who were in the process of being adopted. Prepared meals for 5,000 people in one day. Saw unspeakable...

Are You Beautiful?

Beauty has been distorted. The term "beautiful", who can really describe it? Well, after two weeks in Africa, I can. I took a step back from what society says, no, what society screams at a young women like me, on how to be "beautiful". I instead turned my back on that lie, and embraced real beauty. One that can never be confined by society. It's not me who isn't "beautiful", it's the ugly society telling me I'm not good enough. And I'm here to say, I really don't care anymore.

My Hands are Tied

 Its only been three days since I arrived in Atlanta and already my world has been rocked. You see, I’m not exactly “new” to the ideas of living in community or missions or AIM, and yet, I have SO much more to learn.              I’ve always thought of myself as averagely useful. I don’t mind hard work and I genuinely like to make people happy through acts of service.
