Hi Y'all

As you can probably tell, I've been quite bad at updating this website. BUT, I plan to get on it starting TODAY! That is, May 8th, 2026. I will plan to update it every couple of days (2-3).

There's a lot I want to say and do, and it's often hard with a busy (or unfocused) life sometimes haha. That being said, I offer a brief reflection on things.

GRATITUDE UPON GRATITUDE.

There are some things that words cannot explain. This is one of them, and yet I will try my best.

When I decided to sign up for Missions and Hope for San Diego's Marathon Team. I was guided by the principles of seeing the margin in my life, and thinking of how I could be a blessing. I thought "Oh, I have no responsibilities, let me serve the Lord by means of x and y" And so the eagerness drove me. Then, as the dust settled, the fears and worries crept in. Hope for San Diego sought raising $2,600 and the London Missions team required $3,000. WHERE WILL IT COME FROM???

And so prayer after prayer after prayer request after prayer request was "Lord, would I surrender the fear and trust you to provide." And I gotta say, prayer might be a cheat code. I say that as a joke, but in my heart of hearts, seeing the Lord provide in these ways has been such a mind-blowing experience. Of course, I feel emotions like gratitude that people might care about me or are willing to support me or etc. But truthfully, the coolest part is knowing people's hearts for the Lord and their love for our neighbors.

Money isn't something we throw away, in fact, I think the world forces us to idolize it at times. And so when I take a step back and see the generosity of those who have decided to financially support, I'm forced to be in awe. Because somehow, the Lord has placed it in each person to be willing to support and sacrifice. While my expectation was that a missional heart grows when you are ON the mission. I've realized it has already grown even sitting in San Diego. To be a witness to generosity the Lord has placed into the hearts of friends and family. I have hope and see that, collectively, we yearn to see the gospel go forth and our neighbors be loved.
