MY STORY

My blog from Panama will have a different approach than when I blogged from Guatemala. I will keep true to the amazing stories I am going to share, but I also want to focus on sharing about Jesus, giving people hope and encouragement (we are each meant to love and be loved), and being honest and open as a person. Additionally, I hope to find a place to turn to when I am feeling down, discouraged or overwhelmed with gratitude and the moments of happiness. I will be posting things that I find encouraging and inspirational. Perhaps, something I post could benefit you or a friend. My blogs will vary from bible verses, sermons, daily devotionals, excerpts from books, quotes, songs, friends, etc...

While living in Guatemala and my recent time in the States, my faith and relationship with God (the maker of Heaven and Earth) and Jesus (who died for our sins so that we may have eternal life) grew by leaps and bounds. The mindset of getting out of the boat and fulfilling God's will for your life can be one of the scariest things you ever do, but at the same time, it is the most rewarding! For me, being back in the States for an extended period of time confirmed even more that I believe I am on the path God has created for me. I realize not everyone is called into the Mission Field as I have been, but I believe each of us is given a dream from God. In order to really live life to the fullest, we must respond to His calling. In the book of Psalms it states: "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over." Psalm 32:8 and "Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go for to you I lift up my soul. " Psalm 143:8.

I feel God has blessed me with resources and experiences that I want to share with the people I love. I can truly say that I have never been this happy in my life. I believe the root of happiness begins with living your earthly life for Jesus and His Kingdom. Put your identity in Him and not in material things, for those are constantly changing. I understand it is easier said than done. I struggle with trusting Him and His plan for my life. I get frustrated and question things but I do trust and believe His plan will ALWAYS prevail. Let go and Let God (Thanks Kim Register).

Peace, Love and Panama,
