    The word faithful means reliable, true, and sure. That is exactly who our God is. He has shown Himself faithful these past four years in following Him and even more these past eight months of living in Japan. It is not because of anything I do or have done, but because it is who He…

    Death- Is not a common topic in conversation. Let alone rarely is it ever discussed on a daily basis. However, recently, the topic of death became a reality.  Just a couple weeks ago, I was preparing to teach chapter four of Ecclesiastes- when I received the unexpected call. The call that we anticipate living hundreds…

    I think I’m turning Japanese, I think I’m turning Japanese.. I really think so.  If you dont know it’s a catchy song, I’m not actually turning Japanese. However, I have mastered separating trash into their proper containers, I have indoor and outdoor clothes/shoes, and I fell asleep on the train and woke up right on…

    I don’t even know where to begin.. maybe I’ll start this newsletter update with a thank you. I’m truly so blessed and honored to have such a supportive group of friends and family.

    Happy Wednesday! I send you greetings from my beautiful homeland of Colombia. I have been blessed with the opportunity to visit my mom for her birthday and see other family members before my departure to Japan. I still can’t believe I will be leaving in less than two weeks!

    Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high. Luke 24:49 It was right before His ascension, Jesus left His disciples with these last words- tarry in the city. And that is exactly where I find myself right now.…

    In every step of our journeys with Jesus, He is so gracious in showing us exactly where He wants us to be. However, there are times when we take things into our own hands and get ahead of the path. We’ve all been there before I’m sure. The Lord spoke to my heart during one…

    Someone once told me, “don’t expect anything and you won’t be disappointed.” I understand having expectations on people, places, and things isn’t the best. We will be disappointed by them. BUT there is One who will never disappoint us- Jesus Christ. He is God and with Him we can expect the unexpected.  New Life, New Creation…

    What an amazing past month it has been traveling around South East Asia. We spent one week in Indonesia and one last final week in the Philippines. Let’s just say- we weren’t in Japan anymore (Dorothy voice). From completely opposite weather, to major culture differences, to even the toilets- they went from heated seats playing…
