Its so unreal being here in France, to really be here. To wake up and breath French air and to talk to people in French and have them understand. For my mispronunciations to be caught be someone else. Finally realizing that I will be here through July, its so weird. That is so long, yet…

This is so surreal, France. I?m starting to work through everything placed before me for this summer, and it?s slowly becoming real to me. Real that this time next year I will be enjoying spring, budding trees, and flowers sprouting out of the black park soil in Toulouse. That these times here at Stout will…
Read MoreBroken Day
It?s a constant awe to me how the Lord teaches us and stretches us. In those times when we feel as though we?re walking with God and then in a day everything changes and we?re thrown on our head. As though we finally looked to our left and saw how far God was from us…

For those of you who haven’t been reading lately I’m in the process of deciding if I am going to do STINT (Short Term INTernational) this upcoming year from September until July. It’s been quite the process, from being told I couldn’t go to being told I could. Then needing to discern if it was…
Read MoreDiscerning STINT, to go?
I?ve been having quite a few conversations over the last couple days (thanks Rachel, MM, Chris, Jay…) seeking out the Lord and counsel from those He?s placed around me, whom I trust greatly. When I found out Tuesday that it was still an option to go I had the chance to do this, to really…
Read MoreWell, Now I might be going? STINT
It?s been quite a while since I?ve written and it hasn?t been due to lack of anything happening. More the lack of any sort of resolution. For those of you who?ve been paying some attention to what has been going on in my life a major point right now has been STINT (Short Term INTernational,…
