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 […]
The Art of Kindness
Today I am writing about kindness, but not because this is something I understand. I struggle with kindness, but God laid it on my heart to write about something I am not good at. As you may remember from some of my other blogs, my primary gift is prophecy, which is not the most compassionate […]
In the Center
A while ago I hiked through a creek with my brother and a friend. While I was clinging to roots hoping they wouldn’t break or walking on a log over the water hoping it wouldn’t roll, I worried about what might happen if one if us were to fall. I reminded myself that wherever I […]
‘Twas Grace that Taught my Heart to Fear, and Grace my Fears Relieved
I recently returned from an all week mission with my youth group, and while I was there, I gathered some inspiration. This post will have a mix of topics, so bear with me. First, I realized the power of prayer. I have a coin that has written on it 1 John 5:14,” This is the […]
