Maybe success is just faithfulness.
Routine can turn the most meaningful things into monotony if we let it. For me, this summer was filled with early mornings, making breakfast by myself for the team before most were awake, praying that we had enough eggs. Lunch breaks for Brooke and I often meant trying to cut semi-thawed chicken, scrubbing the goo […]
The good news of Christ.
I would like to think that one of my spiritual gifts is that of adaptability. I am not easily shaken by new situations, a change of plans, or even a lack thereof. However, I learned this summer that am not invincible to the feelings of chaos and confusion that life tends to bring. In the […]
God, the giver of wisdom
Since the start of the school year at the Sparrow Academy, we have had some kiddos who have really struggled with their studies and have fallen pretty far behind on their school work.

It had been something anticipated and known, but that really doesn’t make it any easier. Saying goodbye is never easy especially when those people have made […]
Not goodbye, but nos vemos!
Friends and Family, It is with great joy and sadness that I announce my time in Honduras pursuing full time ministry is coming to a close. I am beyond blessed to have been in this unique position to serve God by serving His abandoned and neglected children living in children’s homes, on the street, and in the bordos of […]
