A Crazy Journey Has Begun

First I must start off by saying that while the Lord has blessed me with a few gifts, writing is definitely not one of them – as you will soon see. In fact, there will probably be quite a few entries in here before anyone knows that this blog even exists. My goal for this blog is to keep you updated on my life in Honduras and what the Lord is doing at Orphanage Emmanuel and in my own journey with Him. Despite my poor attempt at writing, I pray that He receives all the glory that could ever possibly come from this.

I don't journal…unless you count writing once (maybe even twice) a year. Usually that one entry tries to explain everything that happened in the past year. It's miserable – and probably the reason I don't journal. I want this to be different. Therefore, I've decided not to start writing the whole story of how I received the call to serve at Orphanage Emmanuel in Guaimaca, Honduras. Eventually I'll be able to fill you in on parts of the story that I'd love for you to know. It's been such an incredible journey since May 2009 that it would be impossible to sum up in a page or two, or four, or ten. My life has been transformed. It's a crazy journey that at many times has made no sense to me, much less to the people around me. Yet it is His call on my life right now and therefore my only response can be, "Here I am Lord; send me."
