Bonjou! From Haiti!

In February, I got to return to Haiti for a week to teach on worship leading! Here are some stories and photos. For those of you who are skimmers, there are plenty of photos and highlights. For you readers, I just about wrote you a novel. Enjoy! This trip, like the last one, was with …

Song Story: “Unfailing Love”

** You can listen to and/or purchase “Unfailing Love” and other songs I’ve written on iTunes or at http://www.meganisaacson.com. I have always loved the Psalms. I love the honesty of the writers and how relentlessly they cling to the knowledge that God is good and God is sovereign. I especially love reading King David's psalms …

Song Story: “Our God is With Us”

Last year, around October-ish, my good friend Craig Smith asked me if I would be interested in putting on a night of Christmas music in December with him and our friend Danny Oertli. I jumped at the idea - these guys are two of my favorite people and great musicians and songwriters. Any opportunity to …

A Week in Haiti

Bonjou! I am back from Haiti! It was an amazing trip. The team and I experienced so much, from walking among the wreckage that still remains from the earthquake in 2010, to teaching some tent city women how to sew and bead (using charades), to feeding the cutest kids ever, to joining our Haitian brothers …

The Haiti ladies are off!

I finished packing for Haiti today, which is a good thing because I, along with twelve other ladies and one brave man, are leaving tomorrow for Port au Prince. This is my bag. I'm hoping it doesn't explode. I realize I may be adventurous beyond reason by just taking one backpack to lug around my …

THAT’S where the summer went…

I can't tell you how many times I've said (or heard), "Where in the world did the summer go??" As if it didn't also seem to slip through our fingers last year. And the year before. Crazy how that happens! I was just browsing through my photos and thought I'd take a second to share …

With love from Nigeria. Again.

You might be thinking, "Wasn't she JUST in Nigeria?" I sure was, and it was during that first trip that I got connected with Hillcrest School in Jos, who asked me to return to lead worship for their spring Spiritual Emphasis Week! The first trip to Nigeria was all about taking it in - I was a sponge. The second was all about being present in the moments and being available for whatever God wanted to do. Turns out He wanted to do a LOT.

Simon Says, “cankles” and Nigerian rain…

I am sitting on a couch in my room at the guest house. My feet are propped up on a couple pillows. It's been a fantastic, full day and my feet are the size of footballs. My ankles have disappeared. Apparently salty foods and hot, humid weather don't mix very well! I'm hoping my ankle …
