We're all geared up for another riveting trip to Nagarote, Nicaragua! WOOO! Can you smell the excitement?! It's been too long since I've seen my brothers, sisters, and friends/family in Christ. I'm more than ready to go sow more seeds in Jesus name.
We have a very diverse group going this year. Ranging from toddler to elder our group has a lot to offer this year! With our wealth of spunk and wisdom, plus the connections we've made over the past few years, we will be able to do works in Gods name that many of us never dreamed of! With such a vast array of talents ranging from music, art, construction, and tons more we will make use of every day and show the love of Christ to the great people of Nagarote.
I'm no writing guru...believe me. If you'll be so kind as to wade through my wandering thoughts and hard to follow plots I'll do my best to transcript our experiences in Nicaragua. The blog was a huge hit with my home church of Alva, FL for the last trip so, God willing, I'll be able to continue to muster up the courage to share my deep thoughts about rocks in the middle of lakes and planking volcanoes.
Jokes aside, I'm SUPER excited and unbelievably blessed to be able to be going to Nicaragua for the FOURTH year in a row! It's an honor to be carrying out the Great Commission in such a hands on fashion. I stumbled on a verse at a company I worked for in Ft. Myers that spoke to me:
" For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you
have worked for him and
how you have shown your love to
him by caring for other believers, as you still
do."
Hebrews 6:10 NLT
The owner of the company has done missions work for YEARS and is very serious about his walk with God. He's built his life, business, and ministry around doing God's will. I found that verse on a little plaque that was given to him by one of the local churches in recognition of his missions work and outreach in his own community. That verse has been eating away at me so much I can't WAIT to leave for Nagarote! I'm talkin' bout BRING. IT. ON!!!!
I'm sure my laptop is hating me for typing so furiously and your eyes hate me for typing such a long blog. You're probably grumbling and asking yourself why you're still reading. But, that's alright because I'm done. :)
In conclusion: I'm excited about going on this trip. Each year is a fresh opportunity to share the love of God to people who are in need of some good loving. I hope you will all pray for me, our group, and the people we will be ministering to. We need all the support we can get!
I'll be keeping you guys posted, so be looking for the blogs! :D
I don't know how I want to close out my blogs this year though.
T-t-t-t-that's all, folks! Yeah, that'll do!

I'm excited too! But the only reason my eyes hate you is the white text on the black background... maybe that's me getting old though.
