Only twenty-five days until I head down to Georgia! Time is flying so fast. I’m in full swing of preparations now, figuring out what to pack, hanging out with friends as much as I can, and readying myself for the intense five months of study and ministry I’m about to begin. It’s weird to think […]
Clarkston
Home has always been a weird word for me. I’ve grown up in the same house I now sit in to write this, but I’ve nonetheless called many places home. Summer camp. Haiti. Most recently, and most dearly, Mexico. There have been times I’ve been hesitant to call Shelbyville home simply because I feel so […]
I’m Still Learning
I messed up. I didn’t do my homework. Missions training homework, that is. I’m officially graduated from high school, so homework is (mostly) a distant memory right now. Anyways, I need to apologize to all of you. The homework I didn’t do was a book on fundraising GFM (Global Frontier Missions) requested we complete before […]
These are Our Brothers
I was just going to ignore it. Usually, on social media platforms (or this blog), I prefer to stay away from current happenings and leave discussing those issues to in-person conversations. Little ever comes from online debates anyway. While I don’t expect a debate (I won’t be commenting on this post), I think the state […]
What My Fall Will Look Like
This fall will be one of my most exciting ones yet. I’ll begin classes at Global Frontier Missions on August third, and continue all the way through December twenty-second (For more information on what I’m doing in the fall refer to my last post). I haven’t exactly figured out every aspect of my time there […]
My Next Adventure
It’s official, I’m terrible at spontaneity. When I suspended my regular weekly posts on this blog in August, I said I’d continue to post whenever I had time and inspiration. I believe I’ve posted once between then and now. While I can’t guarantee a steady weekly schedule now, I can at least promise some semblance […]
What am I to Say?
“Do not worry about how or what you are to say; for it will be given you in that hour what you are to say.” – Matthew 10:19 As I sit here trying to think of where to begin this post on Matthew 10:19, I can’t help but chuckle at myself a little. Here I am, […]
Carry Your Cross Daily
“And he said to all, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” – Luke 9:23 I love this verse. It’s a fairly popular one, but I think that the depth of it goes so much deeper than what most people consider when they […]
Blessed are the Poor
Luke six is a chapter full of profound topics and amazing lessons, especially since it contains the Beautitudes. I could write several posts on this chapter alone-and I may- but for today I want to dive into verses 20 through 26. Let’s begin with the first four verses: “And he lifted up his eyes […]
