Send off!

Hey friends!

First off I would like to say thank you again for your support on this new adventure! People would ask "are you sure you'll get the money?" My answer was always yes, I knew God was calling me to overseas missions. But never did I expect it to happen so fast. Everything fell right into place. It was a gentle reminder that my worldly eyes are just that, worldly eyes. The plans God has are far greater than the ones I've ever planned for myself.

As many of you know I am a Rehabilitation services major at UMF, focusing on trauma and crisis work. I love this field and the opportunity to assist individuals during some of the hardest moments of their life.
These last few years have had many ups and downs, but ultimately I had a steady plan. I finished rehab classes fast, and had a found two jobs I truly loved. I had a home and was fortunate enough to have transportation to and from. Next I would be finding an internship, and applying to graduate school. But here I am, sitting on a bus amongst a sea of strangers thinking, Lord- what am I doing?

I know this trip will be life changing, already it has challenged me in new areas.  As I go along I will be updating blog posts, hopefully bi-weekly. Many individuals have asked if there is a way to continue supporting me. The answer is yes! There will be expenses that will arise through out the trip, such as rain boots that just be bought in country etc.  If you would like to continue supporting me you can contact my Mom, Robin Arris.

6 months, 3 countries, serving one God. Thank you again, for the prayers, encouragement and support through this entire process!

The Power of a Smile

Stop correcting "i"The smell of burnt coffee beans fills the air. I can hear buzzes of cellphones, murmurs of friends talking in line- and the occasional whoosh of the expresso machine. As I look out the small coffee shop window I see a diverse city, a puzzle of God's wonderful creation. This week I have had the opportunity to connect with many people, all in different part of their life.  Conversations have ranged from embarrassing subway stories, to struggles within the health care system, to future hopes and dreams.  I answered the question, 'Where is Maine?" so many times this week I can not keep count.  We are currently partnering with the Salvation Army in Harlem, New York. During the day we help at a food kitchen- mainly creating relationships with the community; loving them and praying for them.  In the afternoons I help in a classroom of 1st graders, their teacher being another young college student. She is currently in school to be a lawyer...

Learning to CLING

At first I gave my life to God during a time of deep grief.  I needed a reason to believe there was something bigger and stronger than the pain I was feeling. As time went on I continued in my "faith."  When times were good I praised Him. In times of pain I questioned him, yet I never truly felt the same as the night I first surrendered to Him. It seemed through the ups and downs I began to slowly drift away. It wasn't util I stepped out of my comfort zone and saw how others all around the world were worshipping the same God that I began to question my faith.  My seemingly solid faith. It seemed their priorities were every different than mine. When I struggled to go to church once a week, they managed to go every night. When we were called to open our bibles, I flipped to the table of contents while others were already finished reciting the verse.  Their commitment was far greater than mine.  Their willingness to surrender came with willing hearts.

Faith Vs. Fear

My time in Jamaica has been spent learning, growing and loving. God has been working on my heart continuously. I came into this trip with the misguided mindset of a new start, and new beginning. There is this assumption that when you leave an environment you are in all the pieces will fall together, clicking into this seemingly happy perfect life.  What better way to feel joy than living a life whole heartedly being present in relationships? Being able to love, and share about Jesus. However, in the last month this mentality has drastically shifted.  God's love, and His grace has become a steadfast part of where I am. Like a pacemaker, God has become my lifeline. Life gets crazy, messy and it can be hard, but it also can be a whirlwind of uncountable laughs, and times of joy.   The pace of Western culture is fast, every second of the day is strategically planned out. To allow someone to help, or rely on involves time. Ultimately it is a call for greater tru...
