Each experience, each emotion, each skill, each choice and the subsequent path that is created and obediently followed...all uniquely assigned individually. In the intersecting of our paths we have collisions that can produce insane God moments. I think of my own choices and path I’ve obediently followed that created experiences that built on each other … Continue reading path

There are those moments that tend to mark you. Seared into your memory, it is difficult to escape them when they rise to the surface. I remember lying on the floor of the small chapel at Woods Chapel Church many years ago. I still feel the texture of the carpet against my cheek as I … Continue reading fracture

“I haven’t had a letter from my friend since you were here last year.” “Do you have news of my friend? I have not heard from them.” “Do you have letters for us? I miss reading words from my friend.” To my chagrin, I was discovering a common theme among my young Russian friends during … Continue reading letters

Seven years ago this month, I found myself among a group of people that allowed me the freedom to grow into the life and language that God was leading me to move from ‘doing mission’ to ‘living for Kingdom.’ It’s actually not that big of a leap, but it is a flip in perspective. God … Continue reading years

As I Skyped into the Russia celebration today...I may have videoed myself...and it 'might' be 20 minutes long. No one has ever accused me of being short winded...especially when the Holy Spirit starts putting words into my mouth. This may not be the most flattering angle, but it is the words that count.

Water takes on so many forms...Colorado has educated me on even more forms than this Missouri girl realized even with a multitude of icy experiences. The beauty I find in water is the ethereal quality it possesses. It constantly keeps you guessing and you never know what you will get. Someone else was like that, … Continue reading water

The big three. (No, not ‘This Is Us’) The trinity. God. Jesus. Holy Spirit. Outside of the standard Sunday School answer of “Jesus is the most important,” sits the reality that the Holy Spirit is the insanely strong Kingdom unifier among us. "I'm baptizing you here in the river, turning your old life in for … Continue reading spirit

November always finds me traveling a horrendously long distance from the States to Velikoretskoye, Russia. It is literally a journey of planes, trains, and automobiles. I have been making this journey to Velikoretskoye since 2008 to visit my friends who happen to live in an orphanage. As wards of the state of Russia, our community is … Continue reading denchik

Several years ago God started a conversation in my heart and it overflowed into conversations with several people in our Russia community. At the time God had been teaching me the importance of language within church ministry and that we should all be speaking the same language. It was simultaneous with changing the language of … Continue reading visit

Our energetic friend was bouncing around us yelling, "You are here! You are here!" as the tiny muscled arms wrapped tightly around my neck, as if I was going to disappear, while warm, humid air embraced us in a cocoon meant only for our hearts to recognize each other once again as the familiar scent … Continue reading sonje
