First of all, I have to admit to you all: blogging is
DIFFICULT! I have this problem; once I get started, it’s relatively easy. But
when I go for too long without updating, I get lost and can’t seem to pick it
back up again! I know that this post will seem like years have gone by without
updating you, SO if you have questions, please email me and I would love to
fill in the gaps for you!

ANNOUNCEMENT: I am currently beginning a somewhat extended
process of MOVING TO PERU for a year!! That’s correct! I will *hopefully* be
going to Peru for at least a year to work alongside a wonderful woman of God
and learn more about long term missions, orphans, the Father’s heart, and the
beauty He has placed in this world.

My plans are to take a “visionary” trip to Peru for 6 weeks.
I will live, serve, and talk about plans for the future with Crystal Reitsma
(currently a full time missionary in the jungles of Peru). I am praying that
during this trip, God will confirm that this is where my next season of seeking
and serving will be. I feel He has called me to this; but because I have never
been to this area of Peru nor have I gotten a chance to meet with Crystal in
person, I am taking this next step to confirm this direction.

After 6 weeks, if the Lord has in fact confirmed Peru for
me, I will begin fundraising for an entire year of living down in this area! I
am so excited for this opportunity to seek the Lord and grow closer to His
heart. Please be in prayer as I continue on this journey with Him! If you are
interested in donating toward my 6 week visionary trip, please email me at [email protected]
for more information!!
