Steps of faith

Part of Worshiping God is testifying what He is doing and give Him the glory for those things.

Sometimes this is much easier to do when God has come through and we look back and declare His goodness. But what about when you are in the middle of a challenging situation, how do you testify in the waiting. I don't really know the answer but I think Faith and the Holy Spirit's leading has to do with it. God can give you hope in your situation and His voice gives us what is needed to hold to the vision and persevere through the hard times.

So this brings me to what I want to share. I honestly didn't want to make it public that I booked my flights last week. I was afraid. Afraid of what people would think. Afraid of what could happen. Not a good place to be friends.

So as I begin a new week and am moving forwards, I felt that I needed to testify to what God is doing! I need to have faith. After buying my tickets I had about $100 in my bank account. Because of being given the opportunity to do a fundraiser last week, some money did come in, but as I looked at my situation I had a lot of questions for the Lord. A lot of whys, hows, whos, and whats.

However, God has began to use this to inspire me more and grow my anticipation for Australia even more. I feel God asking me to trust, telling me He believes in what I am doing and He has my back. He is doing the imposable, because He has called me.

I know a lot of missionaries and so I see a lot of needs. I believe for breakthrough for them just like I believe for breakthrough for me.

So as a step of faith I buy a plane ticket, not because my financial situation is secure and I can comfortably do so, but because I am willing to take a risk, to face the unknown because God is in control. I am not saying you should go buy a plane ticket and believe God will make it happen. I am saying, seek God, be obedient, fallow His leading even when you cannot see the outcome, AND testify what He is doing.

I pray God continues to place it on peoples heart to give to me, and God is using people! People I don't even know well to encourage me and to help me get where I am called to go. Praise the Lord!!!

Airlie Beach

Hello there, sorry about taking forever to update!! So last week I went on a 16 hour road trip (not including the stops and such) to Airlie Beach. Its this Beautiful location right on the ocean and a group of about 20 people from my DTS went there to help with schoolies. Schoolies is a big party after the Australians graduate High school. Its a big celebration put on by the government that not only involves theme parties and loud music but also drinking, drugs, abuse, and even deaths. During these weeks of partying students get into about everything imaginable. My team went into this environment with the intention of simply loving these young people and showing them we cared. We set up what was called the chai tent. it was a big tent, and inside we set up little tables with pillows around them and we served free slushies and chai tea. As groups would come in some of us would just sit and talk to them and as we got to know them we would ask a little bit about what they believed when

Greeting from Michigan!! I have 3 weeks to go until I am required to be in Pemba, Mozambique! I have no idea what to think or feel, but I am definitely excited and also facing a lot of the unknown. I miss being in the ywam Gold Coast community very much, but i know that God has a plan bigger and better then mine. So I am proclaiming in Faith that I will be in Africa in a few weeks! As of right now I do not have enough funds to get flights or apply for a visa, but God is providing in different ways and I hope to have flights by the end of the week and a my visa application in the mail. Please consider giving towards these needs through my Gofundme Campaign. It is easy to give a one time gift and every bit helps. Here is a link to the page. . . .

Friends || Faithfulness || Flights

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
