Just taking a moment today to appreciate things from these past few days and the coming weekend (before we start teaching on monday and get into a routine.). I think today is for loving and appreciating and taking pictures and just being with people. today is for making coffee and making people smile. i want to capture all the goodness i see. i am thankful for laughing with friends until i lose my breath. i'm thankful that now i can listen to jos é. To kill, when there's a night that i don't see.

Got your update right here. And closer to His heart. He is shaping our vision for this place. It makes me so excited to think and dream about what this year could hold, and to know that the Lord has so much to reveal to us if we commit our plans to Him. Knowing, of course, that it won't be easy. but worth it. I'm excited to be able to share more now that we have internet at the house. It is good to know that so many people are praying for hope to spread its way into hearts here. I can't thank peo...By Br...

It is now, around the start of my last semester of college, when I constantly get the question, "So, what are your plans after you graduate? These are the words I dread, probably not unlike most people my age. Being in the DR again also renewed my passion and love for Dominican people and life there in general. Here are some pictures from my trip! Nena and I in Monte Cristi at a special service/dinner. Me with some beloved Jaibon boys, Galan and Imanol. Me with Jacqueline and Heather, my hermanitas.

Monday, April 7, 2014. Last night I went to McDonald's with a friend to get some work done for school. It is basically the closest thing we have to a coffee shop around here. coffee and free wifi are hard to come by. And there we found ourselves asking that familiar question once again. Is it ok? Is it ok that we are spending money on this meal when we know what else that money can buy? When the money used on one meal there could feed an entire family for a day? Tuesday, April 1, 2014.

A friend brought us down the book "Kisses from Katie" by Katie Davis, which was the most perfect gift for us and everyone should probably read it, and I haven't even gotten past the forward and already I feel like God is helping me define what's on my heart. This section is one hundred percent my heart for living here in the Dominican, and I wanted to share it with you. Attention to themselves, they simply pay attention to the everyday needs of others, even if it's only one person. They bring change ...

A little over a week ago I find myself in a little church on the property of the Jaibón orphanage, worshipping and praying with all the boys. We listen to the animated Pastor give his message and everyone is given the opportunity to lead a song. I’m singing along with tears in my eyes looking up at this special boy that is becoming a man who I know God has set apart for great things. That there are big plans being orchestrated by God and that His love is taking root in this soil of their adolescence.

Regarding Zion, I can't keep my mouth shut, regarding Jerusalem, I can't hold my tongue,. Until her righteousness blazes down like the sun. And her salvation flames up like a torch. Foreign countries will see your righteousness,. And world leaders your glory. You'll get a brand-new name. Straight from the mouth of God. You'll be a stunning crown in the palm of God's hand,. A jeweled gold cup held high in the hand of your God.". That still hasn't gone away. Walk out of the gates. Get going! So I'm leaving...

Since my last post, I have booked my flight to the DR, we have ordered t-shirts, and I have traveled to Knoxville and back, where I was blessed to have spent time with a lot of different people who are important to me. Support is starting to come in, things are good. I will tell you that God is still wrecking me every single day. As I pursue Him, I'm noticing how hard He is actually pursuing me. Anyway, all this to say that in my writing and list-making I notice a pattern. It's happening slow, God is.

T-shirts are finally in! Heather and I designed these shirts and are selling them to raise support to move back to the DR. Each shirt is $20 shipping. Our favorite thing about these shirts is that they say "Made in the Dominican Republic" on the inside :) The shirts were purchased from an amazing company called Alta Gracia. Alta Gracia is Spanish for High Grace. Http:/ www.altagraciaapparel.com/. Fill out the form below to order:. For being a part of my move back to the Dominican Republic!
