Last week, I took a short trip to Fishers of Men Mexico south of Mexico City. Some of you may remember that my family took a trip down there four years ago in June of 2014 to serve at the Refuge Ranch. This year was a little different. This year, we went down for a […]
A Haiti Update
As I sit down to write this I still don’t know exactly what to say. I suppose I’ll start with an explanation of what is happening, and we’ll go from there. At the end of January, I will be going on a mission trip to Haiti again. I can’t wait to finally go down there again! […]
Chasing Our Chickens
Today I have a bit of a different kind of post for you. This one is a story about something that happened to me recently. Just a warning, it’s gonna be a bit strange, but we’re all a little strange every once and a while, right? Stick around until the end though, because I actually […]
Are You Ready Yet? ll Spoken Word ll
Hey guys! I’m proud to show you my very fist spoken word poem I put on Youtube. This is just the rough version, but I’ll have a more polished video out there eventually, along with several more poems to come. For a little background, this poem came out of my last trip to Haiti […]
A Story from the Mountaintop
Last week I shared just a little bit about my last trip to Haiti. I didn’t tell nearly all of it, though, so I’m going to be writing a few posts here and there with a few stories I think are worth their very own article. So, let’s get to it then. On our fist […]
The Haiti Update
Ahhh, I’m back. Last week I went on my second trip to Haiti, the first being last summer. This one was different than the last in many ways. This one was a medical mission. I was one of only four youth on the trip. I got to travel to a few new villages I hadn’t […]
My Declaration
This is a post I’ve been wanting to write for a while. This is my declaration, my story. Enjoy. All my life I’ve felt different. When I was in elementary school, my mom tells me I used to get off the bus after school and tell her, “Mom, I’m different than all the other kids, […]
My First Trip to Haiti
I hardly know where to begin describing my trip to Haiti. My life will forever be changed by that experience. We arrived in Haiti Friday night around dinner time, so we picked our beds and went into the dining hall/ team center for our dinner. The next day, we didn’t really have a set […]
He is There
Life is hard. During the good times we feel like we are on top of the world, but when we descend back into the valleys we start to think ,” What good can there be in this world?” We realize that life isn’t easy, and we question where God has been during these times when we […]
More Than I can Handle
God will never give you more than you can handle. Growing up I believed this common “christian” phrase meant to reassure us that we can overcome the obstacles put in front of us. But that’s not true. We cannot overcome the obstacles in front of us, whatever they may be, on our own. Thankfully we […]
