My heart stirs with excitement as I type this blog. God has done so much in my life in the past year and 1/2, especially in teaching me to be where I am, to serve with all my heart and to love and minister to those who are right in front of me. Whether they have been young girls from Underground, Drug addicts and alcoholics in Teen Challenge or some of the most amazing young people in VSOM who I also have the honor to call my friends. :)
I have been waiting patiently for things to be set in motion before I posted this to my blog.
I love how God just takes things out of the blue and shifts your life completely. That is really what has happened to me.
Some of you may know already or have some hints, I really haven't been trying to keep it a huge secret. But after MUCH prayer and seeking council, I am super excited to announce that on September 28th, 2011
I'm boarding a plane and...
GOING BACK TO AFRICA!! :)
I have been accepted into Harvest School of Missions in Mozambique with Heidi and Rolland Baker, and Iris Ministeries. I am so excited! (Can't you tell?) hehe.
It has been a gigantic step of faith for me, but there's just this total sense in my heart that this is what I'm supposed to do. I will be in Mozambique loving on the poor, orphans, widows and being poured into by amazing missionaries, as well as learning every day by doing.
And it only gets better...
I will graduate the school on December 9th, and then on December 10th I have been accepted to join a group of 12 people to go to Kathmandu, Nepal to minister on an extended outreach to public orphanages, a lepers colony and in all kinds of unreached villages. I will be spending Christmas there ministering as well, and will return home on December 27th!
WOW!
God is SO good to me! Sometimes I just sit back and can't believe it.
My heart burns to hold street kids again, dance in the dust and live out the book of Acts. But theres a mindset this time as I go that I know God has taught me in being home in America. I've posted it on here many times, and I'll never stop saying it.
I'm a missionary no matter where I am. Gods heart is for the WORLD... all 3 versions of it!
1st, 2nd & 3rd! And I'm so thankful that He's calling me to minister in all 3.
This is only the beginning for God opening doors.. not only for me, but for others as well.
There will be many more details to come- this is just the big announcement.
Thank you for rejoicing with me! I love you all!!
