Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.” The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. – Psalm 126:2-3

Clap your hands, all you nations;
shout to God with cries of joy.For the Lord Most High is awesome,

Live Intentionally {Class of 2015}
For most Americans graduating high school seems like another event or stepping stone in life. Everyone and their brothers seem to have a high school diploma in the states. As Americans we rarely take a glimpse at national statistics and the reality that having a high school education is a blessing and something to cherish.
For example, according to UNICEF in Uganda in 2012 only 18.7 % of women and 16.2% males attend high school. In that same year of 2012, the USA had an all time high graduation rate of 80% according to the Washington Post. What a drastic difference!
When God Calls
When God calls families half way around the world to the mission field he calls everyone. Each father, mother, brother and sister play an intricate roll in spreading the gospel to the ends of the earth. Chase and I have been blessed to experience this reality through several different families over the past year and ten months.
