Gifts of the Spirit Devotion | WalkingWithMemphis
https://walkingwithmemphis.wordpress.com/2015/02/09/gifts-of-the-spirit-devotion
Follow my service as a US-2 missionary. Gifts of the Spirit Devotion. February 9, 2015. In my last post, I tad you about my upcoming trip to Murfreesboro to facilitate a workshop about Gifts of the Spirit. I thought I would condense my presentation a bit and share it with you all. What is a gift? 8211; An item given out of love, no expectation of repayment. 8211; Spiritual Gifts are roles or abilities, different and distinct, achievable through the Holy Spirit. Receive and communicate a message of God to...

Social Movements and Social Holiness | WalkingWithMemphis
https://walkingwithmemphis.wordpress.com/2015/08/04/social-movements-and-social-holiness
Follow my service as a US-2 missionary. Social Movements and Social Holiness. August 4, 2015. A few months ago I was asked to participate in Youth2015, the national gathering for United Methodist Youth groups. I was able to share my experience working for Workers Interfaith Network, and local movements in Memphis. It was an honor to share stories about workers who are standing up to fight for a living wage and union representation. Let us Continue: A Call to Action. Stories of Palestine →.

The Liminality Soundtrack | Seek. love. walk.
https://favorunmerited.wordpress.com/2014/09/18/tbe-liminality-soundtrack
Seek love. walk. September 18, 2014. While liminality refers to a specific moment within a ritual, it is certainly applicable to the proceedings of our lives. Our lives and our world are full of rituals, momentary or sustained, that we are often blind to as everyday participants. But I think we often find ourselves in liminal stages as we go through the transition and changes of our lives. By Florence the Machines: It’s always darkest before the dawn. Can I handle the seasons of my life? Trouble is, son/...

Questioning “normal,” Questioning “strange” | Seek. love. walk.
https://favorunmerited.wordpress.com/2014/08/25/questioning-normal-questioning-strange
Seek love. walk. August 25, 2014. Questioning “normal,” Questioning “strange”. It has been an intense summer, one that is difficult to process and analyze as the violence continues. Palestine and Israel have experienced kidnappings and murders, nationalist hate crimes, racist mobs, riots, rockets, military operations in both the West Bank and Gaza, all totaling a death toll over 2,o00. The hatred, tension, and desperation in the air feel as oppressive as the hot summer sun. Yet it does not seem strange a...

Worth It | Seek. love. walk.
https://favorunmerited.wordpress.com/2014/08/11/worth-it
Seek love. walk. August 11, 2014. It’s hard to believe that one year ago today I stood in the chapel of the Interchurch Center in front of friends and family, both physically present and via live streaming, and was commissioned as an official United Methodist Global Ministries Global Mission Fellow. A year ago, I prayed the Wesleyan Covenant prayer with the rest of my class of Fellows, accepting our call to the unknown. I have sat and wrestled with incredible sadness. Amid a 65 year long conflict, li...

Peace Not Walls | WalkingWithMemphis
https://walkingwithmemphis.wordpress.com/2015/06/22/peace-not-walls
Follow my service as a US-2 missionary. June 22, 2015. The trip was exhausting, incredible, heart breaking, and life changing. I have many stories to share that are not my own, and tell the tale of fear, oppression, and hope. When the group of Americans who I travelled with asked the locals what we could to to support the effort for peace, we heard one thing: “Tell my story.” I intend to do so. To view more of my photos, visit my Facebook album. Here are their stories. Years later, two Palestinian suicid...

Follow my service as a US-2 missionary. Let us Continue: A Call to Action. July 16, 2015. My time of service as a US-2 will be ending in one week! To all who believe in love as manifested in God, while there are many things that make us uniquely individual, we acknowledge that the confidence in what we hope for and the assurance of what we do not see makes us one, but as we survey our world, we are shaken by what we see. God grieves with us at the vastness of these realities, but does not want us to be o...

Seek love. walk. Daily Archives: September 9, 2014. September 9, 2014. Summer and the Changing of the Seasons. I interrupt this series of very heavy posts for a lighter one. I had several friends visit me this summer – one of the other Global Mission Fellows and a volunteer from Mafraq, Jordan. It was wonderful to see them and gave me an excuse to do all the touristy things in Jerusalem in Bethlehem, some of which I had never thoroughly explored. Candles at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. I also got to...
