Read MoreI have been at the Wesley Foundation for almost six years. When I first started coming to Louisiana Tech I was someone who was in loneliness wanting a way to get out. Each day I would search for someone to be friends with but I would never have the courage to interact with them. One day after English class a girl, named Ki, invited me to The Wesley’s weekly lunch. And because of her, I was able to meet other people from The Wesley.

Read MoreOh, how man forgets God and thus himself! For without God what is there, but oblivion. This is what the man in the parable found out when he stored up his grain.
Read MoreLove. Serve. Move. These three words define what it means to be a part of the Wesley. They are on shirts of students that are relaxing in the back room. You may find them on wooden pallets that bear photos of missions past, and the loved ones who bore witness to these words in action. As a bit of an older Wesleyian now, I can recall many moments in my short time here that exemplify these words.

Read MoreI am more than a month into the internship at the Welsey Foundation, and it is quite the experience! It is often exhausting, radically illuminating, and truly fulfilling.

I am growing into someone who is leaving behind personal pretenses and learning what is most important to discipling God’s people.

“To say that Mexico changed my life would not be an exaggeration. It being my first mission trip, I didn’t fully know what to expect. However, from the stories I’d heard from others, I anticipated to work, learn to function within a group, share the Gospel, and in Mexico specifically, force myself into awkward encounters of struggling to communicate in a language that I was far from fluent in…”

Read MoreThrough the Psalms we come to know David as a man after God’s own heart. Within this first half of Psalm 34 we can point to phrases such as ‘I will bless the Lord at all times,’ and ‘I sought the Lord,’ as reasons as to why he might be named as a man after God’s own heart. David is poetic and heartfelt in his speech, and it is by his words that he is known as a man after God’s own heart. The words out of our mouths are what speak life around us. Our words are the vehicles of what comes from within our heart and they are just as capable of defiling as they are uplifting. Whether we think so or not, what we say matters all the time.
