Anonymous asked: Can you tell me how you got to this point in your life? I'm really starting to feel called to mission work after college, for however long. And I'm just interested to see how you ended up in Honduras - from how school worked out, how God pointed you to Comayagua, and what your day to day is like.
Please & thank you? =] Peace.

The Beauty of Holiness
“My Father, I want to live in the beauty of holiness.
I want the sweet scent of Jesus Christ to be breathed into someone’s life….a beckoning brightness to shine from your heart, through me, into someone’s darkness…as we pass by together today.”
AMEN.

Br. Dismas, CFR sent this to me after I had to share some stomach sinking news about one of our girls with him. Pray for this special intention, please. And pray that we learn true trust in the...

yourgracelikethemorning:
You are my great joy; your love and your humility make Me leave the heavenly throne and unite Myself with you. Love fills up the abyss that exists between My greatness and your nothingness (512).
Help me, Lord Jesus. Help me to do Your will. As you can see, my work and my prayer, even my love, all that I offer you, is like the feeble cry of a little one. Be my Love...

Day 7: Describe how you encountered Jesus today.
Okay, this should have been Wednesday…
A Jesus encounter over the phone.
I changed my tutoring hours at Casa Guadalupe and now I go on Wednesday afternoon. I tutored Dayana, one of the scholarship program girls who goes to a bilingual school, who was incredibly hyper and not-wanting to be tutored at the moment. BUT… it’s okay, the hour finished and I was headed out.
I passed...
Day 6: Engage in a fun Christ-centered activity...
Alright I’m super behind. Day 6 was Tuesday so…..
Had a full-blown charismatic Eucharistic vigil with Fray Roch and Fray Miguel, complete with prayer ministry.
“Lord, thank you for opening your hearts to us, and for opening our hearts to each other.”
Praising the Lord in English can sometimes be the exact remedy that I need. Being in front of His Eucharistic presence...

Lent is in full swing! Have you embraced something good to sacrifice and ‘give up?’ Make sure it is something God can use to expand your heart for more love!

A word from the WORD through a friend
When you live in the past, with its mistakes and regrets, it is hard — HIS name is not I WAS.
When you live in the future, with its problems, fears, and uncertainties, it is hard — HIS name is not I WILL BE.
But if you live in this moment, it is easy — HIS name is I AM.
Life is a present, so keep praising and giving it to Him.
Br. Miguel Pro, C.F.R.
Day 5: Make someone smile today and post what you...
I have a new favorite dance called the birthday dance. You’d have to see it to believe it. Lol. It’s the silliest, most retarded dance you’ve ever seen in your life. Lol. That’s pretty much what I did. hahaha.

“What will convince the world, and - infinitely more importantly - what will convince us of the validity of our faith and all the truth she professes is not comfort, not the statement that “this will make me happy,” but the witness of those being happy when they have nothing but their faith….
Day 4: Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet with someone...
Pending. I was up the mountain with 500 kids this weekend, so I’m a bit behind. Lol.

CFR Underground Worship - Freedom Reigns/Breathe
It might be Br. Columba’s simple yet profound worship style that got me, but I almost lost it in the teacher’s lounge. Lol.
crusadermaximus asked: Hey I checked out your blog and just wanted to say WOW! That is amazing what you are doing in Honduras and such an inspiration. So while I don't know you through the world's eyes, I wanted to extend my thanks through the family that is the Body of Christ. It's great to see a sister in Christ living out a calling, I wish many blessings upon you and your ministry of "hanging...

Day 2: Describe one friend you can count on to hold you accountable and bring you back to God. Contact this friend today somehow.
Yo - JREM, I know you’ve got my back bro. Even from a distance, you’re still able to keep me accountable. We’ve got a book to start reading - I’ll let you know when it gets to me so we can get started!
CFRs, my favorite friars, who will...

Day 1: What does Lent mean to you?
Every Lent for me has been a time of transformation. The real deal, spend my 40 days in the desert seeking the Face of the Lord and listening to His voice. It is a stripping of my bad habits…a time to grow in virtue…and a time to find freedom in surrender.
Let us make this Lent truly holy.
“Lord, protect us in our struggle against evil. As we begin the discipline of Lent, make...

Day 29 - What have you learned in the past month?
It’s all about JOY.
learned and confirmed!
LAUGHTER & COMEDY.
“Laughter is a sudden, explosive release of happy energy, a rippling cry of joy only humans utter and understand, it dissolves hate, heals the sick, and binds humanity together in a common fellowship only humans can join…Comedy is fulfillment, accomplishment, overcoming. It is victory over odds, a triumph of good over evil. Tragedy is frustration, failure, despair. The evil in man...
