I Give All Myself

I want to take this time and encourage you. Take a second to think about how you view God. The same God who created the sunsets, stars, flowers and the air that we breathe created you! You have immense value to Him, he knows you by name and His love will never change. You could spit in God’s face and believe it or not His love for you wouldn’t change. He longs for you to know Him and to call upon Him. You are fearfully and wonderfully made in HIS IMAGE. You are the dwelling place of God. Do you really believe that you are a Co-heir with Christ? Your Father is Holy, a King and He loves you in a way that no one ever could.

I’m not sure about you but I have a hard time really comprehending these truths. I’m so quick to fear the unknown. I need to put my faith in God who is Faithful, Strong and Constant! Not only do I need to know the truths of His character I need to live as I believe them. The Lord of all has great plans for us and we need to start believing them.

I want to say thank you so much for your prayers and support. It is such a different journey trusting in the Lord for finances and the funny thing about them is I always need them. He however has been so faithful and I haven’t gone hungry once. He is such a personal God and really knows the desires of my heart and continues to bless me with random things I love like ice creamJ.

I’m currently staffing a Discipleship Training School (DTS) and although it looks different then what I expected the Lord has His hand on this school. We have 2 very different students who are definitely in the right place at the right time for this school. I’m so thankful that the Lord has trusted me with 2 girls to encourage, teach and love.

We are running Mission Adventures again next week and we are expecting 18 students. This program involves 4 days of teaching and allowing time to get to know God and His character. Then the next 6 days we will be on outreach. This time I’m going into an aboriginal community to share the love of Christ and teach them practical life skills. I will be co leading a team of 8 students and I’m so excited to also be encouraging these students to really pursue God.

Then my next adventure will be taking the DTS students to Canberra for a 2 week training session. This will hopefully be a great time of fellowship since we are such a small school. There will be around 1,000 people gathering to meet for this meeting. Then when we return from that we pack our bags and head out for our outreach phase. We will be going to Singapore for a week for orientation and culture awareness training. Then we are in India for 11 weeks. While in India we will be working with women who have been rescued from abuse. We will be working with orphans and just loving them along with helping out with facilities. Then we will be doing some work in the slums of India not sure what way we will be helping out with at this moment though. Overall our goal is to show every single person we come in contact with the love Christ has for them. Please keep us in your prayers and that hearts be softened and that the Holy Spirit goes before us laying down the path.

Even though these last 7months have been challenging and difficult, I do know the Lord is at work here. I’m so humbled to be his beautiful daughter and that he has called me to make his name known here in Australia. As soon as I feel like I’m not measuring up he prompts someone to encourage me with how I’ve impacted them. He is so faithful and I can’t help but want to tell everyone how much the Lord loves them. There is nothing we can do to earn His love, He just does because we are His.

 

 

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

-Romans 12:2
