I’m back at the office today making up for some sick days earlier this week, and drinking my first shakeology in months while listening to Rapture Ruckus.  Today’s reading was more informational about the need in Somalia, and how people need to get to the place where you’re ok going somewhere, if God calls you, […]

Well it has been awhile since I blogged and did the live dead journal. But as I was reading my Bible and praying this morning 2 friends of mine came to mind. They are currently in Africa, making it possible for interns who want to become missionaries to go. They’re in countries where being a […]

If you missed yesterday, Day:8, you can find it here. James 1:2 “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds.” What would I do if someone were torturing me until I denied Jesus?  That was the thought that I had this morning while I read story after story about people […]

Oops!  I went strong for a whole week, got sick, and never restarted the blogging and live dead.  But I am back on it.  I think Proverbs says if you fall 7 times you get up 7 times, so while I may miss here and there, I’m getting back up and will finish this 30 […]

Youth Convention occupied my time so I did devotions, but didn’t blog. Day 5: The topic was spiritual warfare, and had a bunch of information that I’m familiar with.  It was more of a reminder than a challenge.  Finally an area that I didn’t feel totally lacking in.  The unreached people were the Zaghawa. Day […]

Be the sacrifice, as opposed to making one.  That sums up today’s devotion, and the story that went along with it was impacting.  There are things: dreams, hopes, desires; that sometimes God asks us to give up.  When we are obedient, the end result will always be better, but not necessarily what we want. Am […]

I was going to ironically post this blog entry blank, but figured since I’m the only one doing this challenge and reading the Live Dead journaling book it wouldn’t have made much sense .  Today’s challenge was about simplicity, and silence.  It makes me uncomfortable just typing those two things. In our face paced, materialistic, […]

“And people who do not know the Lord ask why in the world we waste our lives as missionaries.  They forget that they too are expending their lives and when the bubble has burst they will have nothing of eternal significance to show for the years they have wasted” -Nate Saint, Martyr Yesterday went pretty […]

I’m a little past the mid way point in the one year challenge I am doing from the book Radical, by David Platt.  From that challenge, there were 5 things to do. 1.  Pray for the entire world. I’m using http://www.operationworld.org to help cover every country in the world for this.  For the next 30 […]

Warning: This post will be long, filled with images, and about Jesus.  Now you’ve been warned and you’re aware that you are about to read some life changing stuff, enjoy 🙂 If you aren’t interested in reading my 6600 words, you can watch this 4 minute video of the trip:     Wednesday afternoon, Amanda […]
