So Blessed!

Check out my new video about life on staff with YWAM!

 

God is so good. I just hosted a dessert night to share with my friends and family what I've been doing this past year. I made a video, brochures, information cards...It was a lot of work, but it turned out really good! I had friends travel from 2 hours, 3 hours away just to hear what I had to say for a couple of hours. I love what I do, so sharing this with these people was such a joy. I truly feel blessed to have people in my life that encourage me and pray for me. 

Life with God is an amazing, surprising, crazy ride eh?

Culture Shock x2

3 weeks ago, I brought a team of 7 students from Canada, Denmark, and America back to Australia from Uganda. For the week after that, I had to keep pinching myself. How is it that I've been blessed with such an amazing job? For 3 months I live in Australia, discipling young people from all over the world, and then I take them across the world to developing nations to share the love of Jesus with everyone. I've seen young and old lives transformed by the truth of God's words. 

I've been visiting with my family back in Delaware until I go back to lead the September Discipleship Training School. I have to remind myself that the things I saw in Uganda were not a dream. Our team saw around 600 people devote their lives to Jesus. I saw first-hand God's mighty power as He healed a teenage girl's broken arm right in front of me and ripped a demon out of a man's body. While I was there I thought, 'this must be how the disciples felt in the book of Acts.'

I feel like one of the luckiest people in the world to be a part of these things. Am I living the American dream? No. I've found the more Kingdom work I do, the farther I feel and want to be from that dream. I will never have the riches of this world, and I'm ok with that. I know that I'm striving towards the prize-The goal that God has set before me. Life following after God is not easy, as soon as you feel like you have completed the mission He set before you, He places another one in front of you. Yea, it would be easy to give up right there and give into what the world calls us to be. But Jesus didn't say this life would be easy. He said we would go through struggles and pain. We're called to rejoice in those times, because Jesus endured the same hardships.

So this is me, a full-time volunteer, missionary, college graduate. I'm passionate about Jesus and reaching His kids. Come on this journey with me?
