I basically only ever take selfies when I curl my hair. 🤷🏻‍♀️

"Even when we’re walking through the darkest seasons of our lives and we can’t seem to find our way back home, there is always a light guiding us. When it seems that all is lost, we can look at the resurrection and remind ourselves that there’s always hope, as long as we’re willing to look for it. It may not always come the way we imagine, but we can know that it’s on the way. He’s the God who can bring the dead to life; He can resurrect a hopeless situation as well."

I shot my first proposal in February and these are just the cutest photos ever. 😍♥️

Growing up, I never saw women outside of kids ministry. I remember when I was called to the mission field, it was a hard thing for me to grasp. Before I was 14, I never even knew that women could be single and in ministry. I remember having so many doubts. Was this something that God had actually called me to do? I was frustrated, because I didn't want to get married (lol that's a story for another day), but I'd never met a single woman in ministry. 11 years later, I've now met countless amazing women who've impacted my ministry and my walk with Christ. God is calling, equipping, and sending women all over the world to preach the gospel and to use their gifts and talents to reach the lost. Because we need women, too. I'm thankful that now, I don't have to look very far to find incredible women changing the world, and I pray that the Lord will continue to raise up strong and mighty generation of women for His glory.

Just a few of the "outtakes" from our opening service a couple of weeks ago...

I actually did something to my hair for once. Even though it only stayed curly for an hour. 😅

Looking back on 2020, it was a mix of joy and pain. It was the year that I stepped into the calling I had been praying for since I was 16, but it was also the year that held the worst days of my life. At the beginning of 2020, I kept hearing the word "restoration". Through all of the pain and dark days I walked through, by the end I could see where He had restored so many things. And even though right now, those dark days still hurt, I know that one day I will look back and be grateful for walking through them. Because the redemption I watched will be worth the pain I felt. Was it easy? Absolutely not. I wouldn't have wished it on anyone. But I saw God work in ways I didn't even think possible. The depth of my belief and trust in Him grew so much stronger. As Elisabeth Elliot said, "God included the hardships of my life in His original plan. Nothing is for nothing."

🎄MERRY CHRISTMAS!🎄

I said I wouldn't wear these yellow glasses all the time... But I'll definitely wear them every chance I get. 💁🏻‍♀️

Just trying not to freeze to death before I make it back to Brazil. ☃️🥶❄️

Today is #givingtuesday and the past 10 months I've been here have been possible because of those of you who have opened your hearts and gave over the years. You're the reason I'm able to live out the call God gave me all those years ago. Thank you for your belief in me. If you'd like to be a part of the ministry God is doing here in Brazil, send me a message and I'd love to talk to you about it.

Thankful for good food, good people, and you. This life I lead is wild, but I wouldn't change it for anything.
