My Newest Adventure

Sometimes I wonder what God is doing. Every step is like a new adventure with Him. Well He certainly has me on one now. As most of you know, I just returned to MD after a 7 month DTS with YWAM Boston. It's hard to explain the transformation that happened in the lives of everyone involved, but let's just say that none of us will ever be the same again. We saw God move in ways we never had before, and we heard His voice more clearly than ever. From beautiful rainbows, to healing, to protection, to divine appointments, to answered prayers for sunshine, to life transformations...we saw it all...and more.

Let me just preface by saying that I never expected to be where I am today. And anyone who saw me 5 years ago would probably agree. I was following Jesus and I loved Him, but the thought of telling strangers about Him terrified me. Not to mention, I was probably one of the shyest kids you could find. For the past 7 months, however, my life has revolved around Jesus and telling people on the streets about Him. All I can say is that God has done a lot in me in the past 5 years. :)

So here is part of where I am now. After finishing this DTS, I have been praying as to what God would have me do next, whether it be school, work, more missions etc... He has answered my prayer by telling me that He wants me to go on staff with YWAM Boston as a full-time missionary. I can only respond to this by saying "okay God, wherever you want me, that's where I'll go." So...my plan is to return to Boston in September to begin my new adventure with Him. I will say, however, that this decision was not made lightly. I spent many many hours in prayer, and even after He told me, I waited for more and more confirmation. I've never been one to make a big decision quickly, and I've always waited to make sure that it's what God wants and not just my own desire. As it turns out, He has told me in many ways that this is His desire for me now.

So that's where I am headed. I was never able to see it before, but God has given me a heart for Boston and for those that don't yet know Him. I wish I could explain the depths of my heart to people and just how much I have been waiting for this opportunity. I have journal entries from years ago about God speaking to me to go to the nations and share His love with people. I remember crying as I wrote them, because God was speaking clearly and I wanted so badly to do exactly that. So you can only imagine what it is like for me to finally be able to fulfill the things God has been speaking to me since I was young.

I know this has been quite long, so I will end it here for now :) I would love to have your prayer support as I step into this newest chapter of my life. May God bless you amazingly and may you see and feel His deepest love for you today...whoever you may be...
