I find myself ending my first year as a missionary in the United States instead of Guatemala. I am continually being reminded that ministry can be done in many different ways. (If you are wondering, we will be returning to Guatemala in January. I am both excited and ready to return.) I am learning to stop … Continue reading Thoughts on this year…

Perseverance, Dance, and Memories
Memories are special. I wrote this in August, the week I prepared a party for me students at Hope of Life to perform their dances. In the craziness of changing plane tickets and suddenly having to leave sooner than planned I never posted it.

I Feel Like That Fish
As I watched the sunrise this morning, I saw a fish jump. The fish jumped high, gliding through the air in a graceful ark, before it plunged back into the water.

Irritation tempted me to go finish the nap I had recently been enjoying or open the door and holler, “Espera en el comedor, por favor, or I’m not coming outside to teach dance class.” I couldn’t figure … Continue reading The dream God fulfilled in the middle of a Pandemic

I can hardly believe Michael and I have been in Guatemala for almost two weeks now! I’ve been meaning to write this post for three weeks… well better late than never. First off, I want to praise the Lord. These past few months I have seen him working on our behalf so tangibly I don’t … Continue reading His Thoughts & His Ways
One Month of Answered Prayers
Tears blurred my eyes, “I can’t read my bible like this.” I thought to myself with a twinge of defeat and anger. My head throbbed and the pain in my neck seemed relentlessly, but I was not going to let them steal my sweet morning time with Jesus again. I left the house for a … Continue reading One Month of Answered Prayers
