I have never experienced racism firsthand until I have come here. Of course, all throughout high school I’ve heard various slangs and inappropriate jokes of every culture out there, and I’ve watched “The Help” multiple times. But I have never had a clear picture of what racism really meant or felt like until being a… Continue reading The Colour of My Skin

In this current season of my life, I feel that God is doing a huge healing in all different areas of my life. I feel that this has turned into a time of restoration, mending, and harvesting. This past weekend, some new friends, Sydney, and I went white water rafting down the Nile River. What… Continue reading Brave

Where do I even start? I guess I’ll start by saying that I am full. Father, I am so grateful that You see me. This weekend, I went to that IF conference for women, and You showed up, and You spoke to me in so many different ways. I think that’s really amazing. I feel… Continue reading Where To Start

I am so weak. These past couple of weeks have been the hardest, but it has humbled me in the fact that it showed just how weak I really am. I broke down, hard. Yet again, I cried out in desperation and in fear to The Lord. The reality of the very real dangers that… Continue reading Weak

Everything seemed to pile up on my shoulders as the weekend got nearer. Earlier in the week, I was almost caught up in three riots because of the elections.

I mainly teach the youngest three; Isaiah (Gr. 4), Ezra (Gr. 2), and Anna (K). It’s been tricky being in a small space, trying to… Continue reading Life Snapshot

Before writing this blog, I had a rough idea of what I wanted to present. But after a beautiful fellowship time with Jane last night, I am convinced that my heart is being pressed to write about something completely different. I’m not going to lie; being completely open and vulnerable with what I’m about to share… Continue reading Pure

I have officially changed my flight from March 1st to April 27th. It has been confirmed to me through Scriptures that God has given me the “OK” to serve this family longer. As excited as I am about this, I also have absolutely no idea what’s happening right now in my life. But I’m trusting… Continue reading Another Dark Room

This week has stretched me a few extra inches. Last Tuesday, I got dreadlocks! I’ve been thinking about getting them since summertime. I finally got faux dreads, which are made out of weaving extensions through your hair. So when I come to the point where I don’t want them anymore, they don’t have to cut… Continue reading It Is Well
