“Jesus wrecked my life, shattered it to pieces, and put it back together more beautifully.”
-Katie Davis

       Life for me has been interrupted. See, I had a plan and I thought it was a good one. Nowhere in that plan was to travel to Brazil and be a missionary and a teacher in a city.  I think of the verse in Proverbs 16, "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps." In my heart, I knew what I wanted and I was finally going to get it. God had different plans. I think I knew deep down that I was made to do more with my life.
     I was unsure and terrified, however, there was this hope that all things were going to work out just right. Not the way I had wanted, but in a way that God knew was best and better for me. The adventure ahead is exciting and terrifying, but I have full confidence that He who has promised will be faithful and He has promised that I cannot even imagine what He is can do and what He will do. "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us" (Ephesians 3:20).
     How extraordinary that He has decided to use me to continually prove His strength and power to others! Even in my failure and faults, He believes that I can carry on the task to glorify Him further with Him as my Foundation.
So I cling to Him because I cannot do this on my own. This blog will document all the things He will be doing with me in Brazil for the years to come. He is good and He is faithful and He will take care all of my needs.

I pray this is an encouragement to those who read.
