Hope * Dream * Believe

Those are the 3 key words of Trinity’s Angels Ministries. Today I was reading some blogs from the past and figuring out how to transfer them from Typepad to this WordPress site. It took awhile because I kept reading them. What a journey. One of the very first ones I ever wrote April 7, 2007 – oh my gosh that was 10 years ago – was from a trip to Belize. I had forgotten how God had grabbed my heart and whispered into it. It is the same now as it was then.  Take a read……

Hope * Dream * Believe

Steph_and_santana_kids

“Who knew that in November of 2005 after a trip to Belize, Central America that my heart would be moved and changed by the children in this picture and their families. The small town of Santana Village, where they live, is a 45 minute car ride outside the port of Belize City. The last 20 minutes of that ride is over a rough rut filled, kidney jarring narrow dirt road.

The first thing you notice upon arrival through the dense jungle is the poverty of the area. The homes are in disrepair, often appearing as though they might fall apart with the next big wind. There is no running water, electricity or gas; meaning no air conditioning, showers, stove or oven for cooking. No washing machine or dryer. The basics are non existent. Yet in this simplistic lifestyle they are eager to share; friendship, a meal, a smile, conversation.

It was during this first visit of many that I was humbled to the center of my spirit. Through their graciousness, hospitality and wide open acceptance of me into their lives and community, these wonderful people gave me everything they  had to give, willingly. They displayed generosity in the face of extreme poverty. They portrayed compassion in the face of hardship and limitation. They gave when they had nothing to give but themselves.

Months have passed since my last visit. Life, purpose and the future have been questioned. All the while something was developing, stirring and working on me. Something that would have a HUGE impact on my life, creating a fire that cannot be extinguished. A passion that drives me and those that get caught up in this developing whirlwind called Trinity’s Angels.

Trinity’s Angels has taken hold of my life and it is building. Trinity’s Angels presents the chance to bring hope, dreams and belief to children who are limited in terms of resources. It is about people with resources giving to those without. It is about taking one forward step at a time to bring overflowing joy to the children of the world who lack the necessities of life; general aid, medical attention, housing, and adequate nutrition. It is about making a difference in the lives of others. It is about making a commitment.

I don’t know exactly where Trinity’s Angels will lead but I do know it will have an impact not only on those who receive but equally, if not more, on those who give. Pay It Forward.”

Oh I have come a far way since I wrote this first blog April 2007.  Who would have ever guessed!!!

It’s A Glorious Easter

Easter – always a glorious day worshiping and celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. Always a day of remembrance of the incredible gift we received – Salvation. Always a day to remember the ultimate price HE paid for us. Always a day I shed a tear or two or more because of it.

Today I was in Pimentel walking along the beach for a few hours. I listened to a sermon podcast and these words rang out…

“When you bow a knee to Christ being obedient and walking in the path HE has laid out for your life that’s following your purpose. That’s where there is the strength and a connection in your life with Christ. “

6a00d8341cd7d953ef019aff932140970dLater as I watched a movie chronicling the life of Christ, I couldn’t help but be moved to tears at the depiction of HIS last day. The pain, humiliation, suffering and torture HE endured at the hands of others. HIS followers watching in horror. No one could stop it. What a price was paid for you and for me. I am reminded of a song that reaches out to me at times and stops me cold, reminding me of his sacrifice and the way I should honor that. Written by Chris Tomlin – it goes something like this …

I’m forgiven
because you were forsaken
and I’m accepted
you were condemned
I’m alive and well
your spirit is within me
because you died and rose again

Amazing love how can can it be
that you my king would die for me
amazing love I know its true
that it’s my joy to honor you
in all I do
I honor you

 

Today reminds me of the sacrifice HE made and the fact that HE can never be paid back. Nor does HE ask that debt to be repaid. We are HIS passion. HE does ask us to love and help one another and be obedient. Simple – nothing like HE went through when HE took the nails for you and for me.

 

Christ the Lord is Risen today – Hallelujah

Always give everything – say what???

A little over two years ago I moved to Peru. Wow. Has it been that long already?

Looking back it’s been a great ride. Actually walking through it…well it was tougher than I thought it would be. Looking forward – that is the excellent part. I have come to believe and trust that if you “Always give everything you’ve got” you have nothing to lose. So what if it doesn’t turnout the way you thought? So what if it doesnt’ always go so smoothly. That is how you change and grow. And that is how you become the beneficiary of new experiences and adventures. Things that you ever would have thought possible.

The past 2 years have been full of those types of experiences. Nope – wouldn’t trade any one of them. Even the ones that really were tough. They each played a part in this ministry called Trinity’s Angels. It is from those experiences that Trinity’s Angels has become what it is. A ministry that reaches, touches and impacts the lives of many, many people. It is all because of the passion of a vision. Make sense?

I don’t make New Year’s resolutions. Somehow they just never seem to last longer than a few minutes and definitely don’t make it past the first day. But this year – and it’s April already – here is a “resolution” that I will continue to live out – “Always give it everything you’ve got.” Anything less, you are cheating the people you serve and yourself.

So, when I write to you December 31, 2014 (and you know the year is going to fly by) I look forward to telling you humbly of course…this year I always gave it everything I had.

Giving it all in His Mighty Grip,

Stephanie
