First things first.....

So I started a blog because I'm getting ready to go to Kenya on a short-term mission trip this summer. I figure that this is a good way for friends and family to see what I'm doing and more importantly, what God is doing in and through me.



First, let's just admit, blogging is weird. Well, it's weird for me. It's like keeping a journal but for the public to read. It makes me really self conscious...I mean, bad grammer, wrong spellings, idiotic thought processes, irrational emotional outbusrts, and generally sounding weak and foolish. So let's just agree that we're going to ignore all those things that make me look bad and just focus on the fact that God is great. God uses flawed people. Most importantly, the things He does in and through all these flawed people are amazing. It starts in Genesis and it continues on today. I guess what I'm saying is....I don't mind looking weak or foolish in order to show you how awesome God is.



And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. --2 Corinthians 12:9
