Perspective vs reality in South Africa

Some days here in South Africa it really comes down to my perspective of how I believe things will go verse the reality of how things will actually go. NEWS FLASH, Kate!! This is Africa. Back in America things are so easy. You can pick up your phone whenever you want and call friends or family or boyfriends/girlfriends. You can just get in your car and run to the grocery store if you run out of something. Everything is practically at your finger tips. I know how America works and I’m so use to how everything is there. Honestly I thought I was prepared to be away for a month. I though...

Perspective

Sitting back, remembering the times we have had this past month. There’s been laughter and there has been tears. Looking back now, I realize God was with us every step of the way. He was there when I felt like there was absolutely no hope, when the weight of everything was just hanging over me, he was even there when I had all the joy in the world. He has never left and he never will. Jamaica has been the most wonderful yet toughest experience.Coming on this trip my expectations were so high causing me to fall farther. I expected so many things that did not happen. I felt that there...

a shoulder to cry on

As my time in Jamaica is coming to a close, I just wanted to share one of my many experiences here on this island. This was way back during the end of week one. My team caught the last two days of Vacation Bible School in Kingston. On Friday, I became very close with one of the little girls. Her name was Melan and she was four years old. We danced and played throughout the whole day. At the end of the day, each teacher gave a gift to the best student in their class. What the three to five year old students didn’t know was that they all would get gifts, but only the best in the class...

Home (Wherever That May Be)

HOME (WHEREVER THAT MAY BE) July 31, 2016 I’ve made it back to my home country, the good ‘ol USA, and tonight, I’ll be back in the comfort of my house. I can flush my toilet paper again without clogging the toilet. I can brush my teeth with the sink water and sing in the shower without the fear of getting parasites. I can eat any food I want without potentially getting a stomach ache. And, I keep freezing because there’s A/C everywhere, which is something we haven’t had all month.  These things are definitely things that I’ve taken for granted...

Inside and Out

Inside and Out On Tuesday night, the team’s last night in Guatemala we were visited by a couple that spoke to us during our time doing ministry in Antigua. We all expected it to be a good talk and a good time based on our previous experience with Gabe and Marielle. But I don’t think anyone expected what was in store for us. We were told right before worship that Gabe was going to be talking about healing. We all were expecting God to move in a cool way, and that made the time of worship really unique. Gabe has this way of speaking that is genuinely Spirit-led. It’s obvious...
