• the whole story

    thought I should share the whole story of my testimony of giving my life to the Lord… I went to church as a kid with my grandma, but didn’t grow up in a Christian home.  My parents said that if I was going to find religion, I’d have to do…

  • depression testimony (giving at Costa Rica and thought I’d share here too)

    In the past few years, I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis and depression.  For a little over 2 years (mid 2010 through about 2 months ago) I hated my life and my body.  I felt like nothing worked correctly and knowing that in Heaven I’d have a…

  • Costa Rica Day 5

    Super tired, but wanted to check in. Today was a ‘relax’ day.  We went on a catamaran (boat)!  I, who can’t swim and who is afraid of deep water, actually got in the ocean for a little swim!  Well, I had a life-preserver on and held on to a rope…

  • 8 days to go, still time to donate!

    I’m still trusting God to provide for this trip, even up to the last minute!  Don’t know why I didn’t think of this sooner, but here’s a like to donate via my PayPal account.  Just FYI, it’s not tax deductible. Donate here

  • VBS Theme in Costa Rica

    Only 10 days until we leave! Just found out the theme of the Vacation Bible School (VBS) that we’ll be doing while we’re there:  Veggie Tales’ The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything.  If you’ve never seen it, check it out here! I love Veggie Tales! So, now I’m in need…
