God is real and he speaks

Today we prayed for people in our class. We asked God to reveal to us who he wants us to speak to and what he wants us to say.  I went up to one girl who God told me speak to and I told her what I had heard  God say. This young woman's eyes filled with tears as I told her about her strength and how she is called to be strong and courageous.  I knew nothing about her life, yet, God gave me words to speak to her and it was exactly what she needed to hear.

For those of you who have heard me talk about my time here, you know that I am spending two months in another country.  YWAM didn't tell us where we were going when we applied. They did this because it is where God wants us to go, not the organization. 

I prayed this morning and God gave me a vision. 

I was standing in a village, and there were two buildings in an L formation (similar to a motel).  I was standing with a village of African people and they were all wearing white and blue clothing. Me and some other people were up on a platform talking to them about the divine love that God has for them. As I sat there God revealed to me that he wanted me to go to Uganda. I will be there for two months. 

Updates from sunny coast!

God is doing insane things and it is only week one.

I want to be updated on how to be praying for you at home.

I found this church here called Good Life and it is so amazing!

I will post pictures soon :)

Much love,

Last day in Santa Cruz

Hebrews 12:1-6  

Sometimes I wish I was in control of everything in my life. 

Then again, if I was, my life would be out of control.

I'm thankful that I am not in control

Something really beautiful my brother-in-law wrote to me

"MAY GOD GRANT YOU THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT

THE THINGS YOU CANNOT CHANGE, THE

COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS YOU 

CAN, AND THE KNOWLEDGE TO KNOW

THE DIFFERENCE"

-Nick Klein

 There is a whole lot to be said before leaving for a long time. Although, I think that is when it will be forever.  In six months we will see if it will be a long time gone or a short time away.



I leave in 2 days. Things are alwayss perfect before you leave.

The story begins next week.  I want everyone to know that I am still in the process of raising 2,000 dollars.

It is really weird when you realize you actually have to start packing and getting ready to leave. Even when you feel really adventurous, I think it is still hard to leave everything you know for the unknown.

Although, God works the most in the unknown. With that, unknown is ok.

2 weeks from Today

I will be heading out in two weeks!  I will be keeping all the latest and greatest stories of what is going down in Australia. Since we have a pretty big time difference this blog, Email, and skype will be the best way to keep in touch. Thank you everyone for being so supportive.   I am excited to see what God does on this trip!  I will be continuing my fundraising while I am in Australia.  Here is a song that reminds me of this upcoming adventure :)
