  • tired of being sick!

    Sorry I’ve been MIA!  I’ve been fighting a cold for, like, 3 months now and get got worse on New Year’s Day.  Ugh! One of the worst parts of this cold is that it has settled in my ears.  Major congestion, blah. 😛 So everything is muffled and I should…

  • follow up to Costa Rica trip

      Hard to believe I’ve already been home for 2 weeks.  I think I’ve finally recovered too, geez. I don’t think I explained how big of deal it was that I got in the ocean that one day.  See, I’m afraid of water, especially water of which I can’t see…

  • Costa Rica days 13 & 14

    Yesterday morning we had a cooking class again and made some really good stuff.  We made coffee cake and homemade tortillas.  Yummy.  I asked Debbie, why cooking classes?  she said that whatever God gives us, we can use for ministry.  She loves to cook and it builds relationships, she can…

  • the whole story

  • Will you trust Me?

    I keep hearing these words spoken to my heart.  The Holy Spirit keeps speaking them.  “Will you trust Me?”  “Will you trust Me with this?”  “What about this?” Not gonna lie, it can be a scary place to be.  Not a bad scary, if that makes sense.  I really want…

  • failure?

    Had one of ‘those’ days yesterday.  A day when my flesh took over and I did things I said I wouldn’t do anymore.  A day when I wonder how real will I really be in my next blog post. Hm.  I don’t feel that confessing specifics to you all is…
