I know better by now than to question what the heck God is doing with me. it’s not an easy thing. it really isnt. but. i’ve found that in happy, sad, difficult…etc music does wonders  

I’ve said it once, i’ve said it a million times… my FAVORITE thing about God is that he’s a personal God. He knows us and knows what we need at that exact moment.   **I am so blessed to have ministry that allows me to speak into the lives of different young women. They are [...]

The hardest part of leaving the Philippines was of course the kids i got close with. And the fact that i would be missing out on things.

So my blogs make it seem like it’s all stuffy and serious over here. It’s been good and serious, but whenever i am around…things are bound to get silly:   *So tonight was my night to hang with Jude. So we’re hanging out at the guest house. Normally there are tons of visitors but right [...]

It’s a thin line… between love and hate? friend or foe? sanity and made for movies…? handling it and freaking out!!   It was a tough day. No, not tough….heavy not sure where to begin: (I sit on my bed 1:00am, completely numb and completely emotionally drained.) The boys I originally came here for have just been acting [...]
