Called to Serve

Hello my people again, I know you all have been eagerly sitting at your phone waiting for a new blog (everyone say thank you to mrs cooper shes pretty awesome) so here it is.  Much different from before definitely way more settled into a routine and life with the other interns. Thank you to the Lord for that without your help and prayer would have never been the case so thank you.  Anyways, starting from where we left off. Im going to try and do this more often like possibly once a week because I really want to remember fully what happened and share with you guys without going back into my photos 300 times lol. Well after I did my last blog I did something which we call here descalzo time. Which just means shoeless time. It is an extended period of time that we take to spend with God by ourselves in nature. This has been worked into our schedule a lot lately and have been so impactful for me. After my blog I went and did this time and man did it really hit me hard. I found mys...

Welcome back all, Currently sitting in the upper room named after the upper room in which Jesus sat with his disciples in Spanish. Well I wish I could say the first week was absolutely perfect and everything was amazing, but it definitely was not.

How are you supposed to learn if you aren't challenged and you always feel perfectly comfortable where you are? That is something I have been thinking about. Through my 13 hours of training ...

 Hello All, Just wanted to update yall on the journey even though its still very very new. I won’t be posting like everyday on here but I definitely will try and keep everyone updated. Just said bye to loved ones and friends and am currently sitting in the Atlanta airport waiting for my layover to be over(its super long). Lots of prayer and emotional stress have gone into these last couple days leading up to the actual departure. Leaving family, friends, girlfriend, trying to navigate sadness but also looking forward to what Gods plan is for my life and all of the above of growing older as a fresh adult. I really just wanted to open up about how I really feel about the trip and hopefully this can help others out. I felt God so strongly the past year now to take this step and journey towards ecuador and a gap year in the missions field, but i also want to stress how not easy that is. That has been the hardest part of this journey is fully submitting myself to what God has planned fo...
