Â Â Â Â Well I have a confession to make, I am an addict. Except I will gladly share what this addiction is, and will pray that everyone in this world of ours will feel this same addiction. For those of you who may be thinking, “What addiction should be prayed on somebody?” Well that addiction is love, Christ’s love to be exact. For the last couple of days, I have be feeling this love flowing through my veins. I’ve been on a hyperactive, happy, crazy mood lately. God loves the whole world so much. I pray that everyone will know and feel this love. It truly is...

We’re Some Crazy Monos

Who in their right mind would do something like this? Who would choose to do this? Not too many people, mostly the crazy ones. We are just a crazy bunch of people, I guess. There are 9 of us who chose to follow Jesus to the opposite side of the world from where we live. All of us chose to travel in an airplane for about 22-23 hours. We chose to stay for 3 1/2 months instead of the typical 10 day mission trip. We chose to come basically blind to everything — we didn't know each other, we weren't sure where we were staying, we weren't sure what we were doing for...

Have you ever wondered what God's holiness looks like? A few days ago, when the team was spending some time in worship, I started to wonder what kind of weight "holy" holds, and what it looks like. Is Jesus' holiness only prominent when He speaks? Does He let His holiness shine when He looks at you with love? Does He let it show when He is forgiving you of your sins? What does "holy" look like? When we were worshipping the question became so heavy on my mind, so I asked God to show me what His holiness looks like. Immediately...

Babies…man oh man do I love me some babies. Every job I’ve had has been with kids, and even when I’m not at work, you can usually find me around some kids. I’ve realized here in Uganda, I have a baby obsession. Ok, I didn’t realize it here, I’ve always known it, but I guess you can call it more of a baby boldness. Let me explain. Being black in Africa is amazing, especially when it comes to babies. Some babies here are terrified of “monos” (White/American people) because they’ve never seen one. We were informed of...

Me: Hey dad, I love you. So much. Have your way with my future. I want whatever you want. God: Hmmm I love you too. About your future… what do you want, Kayla? Me: Um, I don't think you are allowed to ask me that. You are supposed to tell me what to do and then I obey. God: haha, what do you want my daughter? Me: To go on the World Race. I have wanted to go for years. God: Ok. Me: Ok? God: Yep. It's yours. I have some things I want to teach and show you. The World Race would be a good place for you to be while I do that. Me: Really? Wow. Ok. Really? I...

Consumed by God

“for our God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:29 Lately, God has been telling me to be consumed by who He is. He’s been telling me that as I keep my eyes on Him and let His great attributes consume me, everything else will fall away, and I will naturally move towards Him and His heart. A few days ago, I listened to a sermon by Jennifer Toledo. In the sermon, she talked about a vision that she had. She was standing on the shore of a body of water. As she looked out, she...
