Yesterday we played on the beach all day. the weather was beautiful and the beach was AMAZING! we had dinner with Robert, Misael, and the other translators last night. I hate goodbyes. It was so hard once again to say goodbye to someone who is so genuine about the Lord. The guys faith is so passionate and just incredible to see put into action. Im really going to miss them :(
We just took off and we are headed back to SC! Yay!! i cant wait to share my stories about what God has revealed to me this week. His glory and power is so big! How can people deny wanting a relationship with him.. WOW!
I have a window seat and we turned once we got up in the air. To see the beauty of Santo Domingo amazes me. We sang a song last night that says "people from every nation and tounge, from generation to generation, we worship you! " these people are so in love with God. My heart
longs for a passion such as that! To see God's creation from the plane is great. But thats not it, thats how he looks at us. A beautiful creation of his. Its amazing. This trip was indescribable. Words cant express some of it!

Today was an average day. we woke up and ate, went to a village, then lunch. After lunch we learned a new drama. Wow. God is amazing. we did door to door again this afternoon before worship. We had no salvations in our group this week. although, i do know that seeds were planted and God is in Dominican. Tonight at worship, 2 dramas were done and God was powerful through every bit of it. I thank him for allowing me to be used for his glory here. Satan has been here also. Things have not been easy like we wanted. I got to witness today but we (kendra, zach, me) tag teamed it. what an awesome feeling to know that you are planting a seed and God's going to allow it to grow!

So im sitting in worship and the Holy Spirit is totally taking over my heart, my life, and my everything. At this moment in my life my heart is broken. Not for the people who are poor, and unhealthy. but for the people who dont know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Because when they seek him and find him they will be rich in spirit and full of life. I'm longing to see God's face and i cant stop seeking him in my life. Today we came to a park and sort of did door to door. but just inviting people to come to service. As we were walking around the park, it came to me realization that this place is dark. But God is still working in this city just like he promises. He's in control. I cant wait to get back to share about my experience! Sara and Shane gave their testimonies tonight and wow. Is God not awesome or what??? God can change anyone. Luke 6:46 says " Why do you call me Lord, and not do what i say?" its time to get right with God and do what he says if we want to call him our Lord.

So yesterday was hot! but we all survived and I was a little sick. once we got out to the village it was small and dry. Words cant express the sadness and unhappiness of some people. We played ball with some kids and sang. After lunch we went back to the school where we stayed and napped for a couple of hours then practiced a drama to "set me free" i'm in love with this song. God is showing me so much through so many ways. I want to break those chains. Flee from the devil. and cling to God! He is my shepard and im like a lost sheep. He is my rock, my stronghold, my savior, my everything and i continuously let him down. Why are we so stubborn. so dead in this world.We need to be alive and set free! Worship was amazing. If i recall i think 6 or 7 got saved. God is in this city :) We walked around a village last night before worship and invited people to come to our street service. As the week goes on the Holy Spirit is here and God's power is awesome!

yesterday was wow wow wow! Its almost unexplainable when we walked into the haitian chirch and kids were clinging to you and smiling to see you! We got to hand out toys and they loved every second of it. As the day went on we started the door to door process. Talk about being nervous. You dont know what to expect. People are just crazy for saying they werent ready to accept Christ. they had no reason either. Why wait till tomorrow? What if there's not another opportunity? My group had no accept chirist yesterday. Bummer :( Last night at worship my little friends Calla and Misbi came and found me and sang to me. If only words and feelings could express how happy they were to have someone to play with. During worship i opened my Bible and Misbi asked me what it was. My response was Biblea in Ingles. She said no me tengo. So i gave her one and she was so happy! Saying goodbye to those kids was so hard. Knowing that we have so much and they have so little.

John 14:15-17
Yesterday was e airport so crazy! The airport took forever and the devil was working that's for sure. But in the end God was still in control. We made it to the airport in Charlotte at 4:30 am. We didn't board the plane until 8. Being that is was my first time flying I was a bit nervous but Tayla was my buddy so I was okayy :) Once we took off it was almost as if it was time to land in Atlanta. We landed safely and had to book it to gate E9. Well we were at A1 when we got off. We jumped on the train and then stepped onto a massive plane. 200 people and seats everywhere. Turbulance was bad on this flight but God was still on our side. We stepped off into the terminal and the beauty of this place hit me like a ton of bricks. The people were so nice and welcoming. As we were walking out to get on the bus the heat smack you in the face like bricks also. So the trip was in action. We came to the place we were staying which was a school and unpacked and relaxed until 7 pm. We walked outside to the bus and kids were begging for us to talk to them through the gate. We played and gave them bracelets..And rach they adored yours :)!!! Well now its time for worship. We get there and the music is loud and worship is amazing. I loved every minute of it. God was in that building and the food was great the first night!

Practical Love
how are you showing Gods love daily? is it in your actions? is it in what you speak of? what exactly are you doing to tell people about Gods love that is so passionate and unconditional that nothing could possibly compare to it. Try making a sacrifice this week with something that you are putting in your life other than giving it all to God. in that time that you spend making the sacrifice, try showing people how amazing Gods love is by what you say and do. its crazy that one little smile can make someones day, that carrying someones groceries to their car can show them a piece of your God. so why not show him off. hes almighty,powerful,name above all names,the messiah...etc. stop now and just thank God for dying on the cross for you. ask him to help you seek him daily and to help you grow. tell him how much you need him and that you are set free and that you will live for him completely and that you'll show how awesome Gods love really is. that you are making your relationship a priority not just a daily task!
Mother's Day
so today is mother's day! thats super exciting even though im not a mother! i feel that God is teaching me things now that will make me a good Christian mother! even tho its mothers day i just want to ask if you thanked God for allowing you to breathe this morning and blessing you with a wonderful mother who would do anything in the world just to see you smile?? God deserves a thank you. but more than that he deserves to have your full attention on him. not on worldy things. if he didnt want you to seek him he wouldnt have died on the cross! so are you seeking him completely and allowing him to open up your mind and your heart and let him pour every single thing into you???? or are you just sitting back and watching..HE DOESN'T LIKE FENCERIDERS! so make it right with God and get your head in the Bible. if your seeking him whole heartedly you'll see a change. so ready or not Jesus is coming :) but in the mean time celebrate what God has blessed you with and tell your mother how thankful your are for having her in your life!
school and carolina miracle league
well today was great! God you are so amazing and im blessed at every moment you allow me to breath. you continue to show me how your love is amazing! so i went with my youth group to icarolina miracle league tonight to play baseball with mentally and physically challenged kids and i had an awesome time. its so cool to see how different we are as individuals. God has truly blessed these ppl too and they just use it in a different way than we do. i wish we could all be as loving and have the same energy and enthusiasm as the guys and girls that played tonight! thank you Lord for allowing me to see your love through playing baseball tonight :) and also one more thing!!!! last night i made a commitment to be great for God and to pick up that label at school and wear it proudly..well in 2 classes the subject came up of being a Christian! it just blows me away that ppl say proudly that they are going to hell and going to party it up down there! i cant believe that someone would choose to spend eternity burning and in constant pain and thirsting for something more but never having that opportunity to get more over being in a place where theres no pain and you long for more and its right in front of you the whole time! all you have to do is ask for it..people dont seem to understand that hell will not be fun! what does it take to get across these days?????and the next thing is, a survey was passed around with the question "is pre-marital sex okay?" it had a list for guys and a list for girls! its a crying shame at how many ppl sat there in class and said yes its okay!!! seriously ? wow. this world is falling apart! where is Jesus in your life? why do you choose to live daily and not allow him to be your centerpiece!its all about commitment and thats what the world is afraid of. no one will say for sure whether or not the will do something. its always a maybe or idk! stop trying to live a double life and go through the motions. do you realize that God can use anybody? no matter what the circumstances are he can use you! thats what amazes me about him. so ppl the point im trying to make is stop going through the motions and wasting everyday and just give it all to God and ask him to pour all of him into you.
