Being open to conversations and using spiritual gifts in New York

My main spiritual gifts/talents are encouragement, working with kids, leadership, and singing. I was hoping maybe one of them would be useful while I was in New York. Little did I know, God had much more in store for me!
Coming home after a life-changing experience serving in Greece
Jan. 16, 2019
There are many stories that could capture the essence of the work my team and I did during our journey to the camp. A big part of me didn't want to write about my journey to the Greek island or about while I was in the camp; thinking about it makes my heart ache and tears well up in my eyes.

When I truly go home
Aug. 14, 2018
I have been raised with this American and Texan Pride and I will always have a strong sentiment towards my heavily American and Texan roots. However, when I came back to Texas 2 weeks ago, it did not feel completely like home, and it still doesn’t, even though Texas has been my home my entire life. People say this feeling is common and it’s because you leave a piece of your heart on the mission field (as corny as it sounds, it’s true).

Somewhere in my church life I got the idea that children’s ministry is on the back burner, and all the focus should be on adults and youth...I have been terribly wrong.

Understanding the one true God in Taiwan
July 11, 2018
I shared with some students about how my parents encouraged me to find truth, which that lead to me to following Jesus. It led to some good conversation about truth and choosing to follow Jesus and I thought, "Alright God. Thank you for letting me talk about my parents and their value of truth in our family."
Displaying Christ’s love through medical clinics in Haiti
June 21, 2018

Loving the lonely in Vancouver
June 19, 2018
"...there's a sense of pride and accomplishment for being at this university, but there's also this loneliness that comes with that. It's not loneliness like I see back at the University of Texas. No, it's loneliness without a purpose."
Unreached Nations in the Heart of Vancouver

It's easy to trust God when you know what's going on and what He has planned. But trusting God in the waiting? Trusting Him in the silence?
Orientation Weekend: Preparing Our Hearts and Minds
May 25, 2018
Go Now Orientation weekend has just ended and I think it’s safe to say everyone involved gained something from attending.

What if I am not capable or equipped to do the tasks presented to us?
