"Not called!'" did you say? "Not heard the call," I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear Him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help.

Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters and servants and masters not to come there.

Then look Christ in the face ~whose mercy you have professed to obey ~ and tell Him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish His mercy to the world.

~love

I love Guatemala. Each year it feels as though I have never left. From the black smelly air in Guatemala city… to the cobblestone roads of Antigua. The sites, sounds and smells bring back so many wonderful memories. Standing on the rooftop taking in the vast mountains… the sounds of the fair grounds in the back ground… breathe it in… it feels like home. And we have not even spent time with the people we have grown to love so dearly. I love Guatemala.


I love the people I am travelling with. I love being able to experience this and serve God with a dear friend, some of my high school students. These are life changing moments, and I love being a part of them.
