Sometimes the Road Gets Rough

“Sometimes” things do not go quite as planned. When you are living your life for the Lord, a “plan” doesn´t really exist at all. None of us planned to get sick, and none of us planned to get injured. But, there is this little thing that runs around called Satan, he tries to discourage you and tries to push you to a point where you don´t think you can stand any longer.

Goodbyes are hard.

Sometimes we have family moving far away, or maybe a friend is off to college. Maybe you just say goodbye to the people in your life who you see everyday.

Sometimes you get put on a team of 9 other women and when barely knowing who any of them are, you hop on a plane and head to a country in which the language isn’t your native tongue. This team becomes your family but as they become your family the people of this...
