MAKE OVER!!!!

Hey People!

My Blog is getting a make over. I have been using my blog Lindsey Burton - YWAM Brisbane to update the world on my adventures as a missionary in Australia. Now I am back in the states as you may know, and praying into the next step. In seeking God I feel He is telling me to not let the last few years fade out as I go forwards, but to go deep and really remember the stories of fun, risk, challenge, faithfulness, and every other adjective there is. So I re-named my blog to "Oceans Calling". God gave me the idea when processing how I not only love the sea, but how my relationship with God looks a lot like the ocean. He brought me out of shallow living into a place of depth with Him. I want to share more personally as well as share what God is doing in my life now. Also, I want to enjoy sharing with you more of the things I love and have some fun. I am not sure if I will become the die-hard blogger of today, but lets see what happens.

Greetings from Brisbane!! Time is flying by here at YWAM Brisbane. In my last update I shared about my new role as the leader of our worship department and joining a ministry called Creative Development Ministry Team. I am excited to share that through the challenge of transition, I am enjoying this new position of leadership and I continue to be hopeful that God is taking this community in a new direction and I get to be a part of that. I heard a sermon recently where the speaker shared his perspective on worship leaders. For a long time I have seen worship leading as an opportunity to help people encounter God so that then they can go out and live lives with Him. This is true, but something the speaker shared in the sermon was how leading worship is a beautiful fulfilment of God’s commandment to love the Lord your God with all your heart, and love your neighbour as yourself. This resonated with me so deeply because it reminded me that even though in this season I am not going ...

Over the last 2 months I have had many ups and downs as I have been in transition. A transition from Africa to America. A transition from 2015 to 2016. A transition from who I was to who I am now, and finally, a transition from Michigan to the Gold Coast. God has been incredible faithful to not only come through with all I needed for flights to Australia, but also in giving me extra time to spend with friends and family. He has used things that I thought were negative and has blessed me. Leading up to this week I thought, "how is this going to happen?". I was short the funds needed, and the longer I waited to leave, the less time I would have to help in prepping for the School of Worship. However I kept believing that God would do what He said. On the weekend, I saw God provide supernaturally through people in a beautiful way. I was able to find really great flights and also be prayed out by my home church. I am humbled and in awe of God's loving kindness and the supp...

First Week

Hey yall, So we have started our lectures and they are pretty cool but there is a lot of sitting. We also started to look into our focuses today and I decided to go with Music. it is going to be interesting because I was placed in a small group with more of an acustic setting. I think it will be good for me and something differant then what I am used to, but i definatly wasnt expecting it. I will probably be playing more djembe and maybe sing instead of drum set. I am looking forward to seeing what God has in store for me through this and I am trying to have a positive outlook on it.
