Paperwork Can't Steal the Promise!!

As I prepare to move back to Australia once again, each week has what feels like new hurdles I have to jump over. "One thing" on my to-do list seems to have 15 bullet points underneath that must happen before that "one thing" can actually be crossed off. Reading government paperwork is like trying to read another language. When you are in a season of waiting, it can be easy to loose perspective. 

I was listening to a teaching the other day about a perspective of victory. If God is God, and what He says is truth, we should be able to take on any situation with His promises being what we dwell on. If I begin with the end in mind, knowing God spoke certain things to me, I can focus on those things. When it feels like nothing is happening or the struggle seems overpowering, I live from a place of victory. What I will receive in faith through the process is greater then the intimidation of the enemy in the tension. It is easier to say then to actually apply, but Jesus is on my side. So it is far from impossible.

So after processing that with you, I have an update about my move to Australia. I was first planning to go for about 8 months to help staff the School of Worship and then seek God for the next step. However in praying, He has given me the go ahead to commit for 2 years at ywam Gold Coast. He has been working in my heart to trust in times of change, but is giving me a gift of staying in one place for longer. I am both excited and nervous, but am clinging to the promises God has shared with me. So even when it looks impossible and I can't make it happen, God says go! Even in the to-do list and the forms and finances, it will all come together. I put my hope in God!!

Please keep me in your prayers. I want to head out mid February and need God to move!

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

a lovely little update :)

Hey there, So after the week in Airlie there was a week on Spiritual Warfare and then a week of Father Heart of God. Both weeks were amazing!!! Spiritual warfare is something I really didn't know much about and it is something I have a bit of a hard time understanding, but it is very real and so powerful. We have so much authority against Satin and it goes unrecognized and that isn't good. Father Heart of God week made me really begin to appreciate my dad, and the rest of my family, and also it gave me a clearer perspective in seeing God as my father and daddy. Then a very cool guy named Mark Parker from New Zealand came and helped us really surrender ourselves to God and the Holy Spirit. He spoke all week on Lordship. Then Friday we began at 8:30 in the morning and all together experienced an amazing transformation till 2:30ish in the morning on Saturday. We went through different steps as a school and did different things like giving thanks, worshiping, giving burnt offeri

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. . . .

I have a lot that needs to happen in the next few weeks but I really feel that instead of being stressed and worried about visas, flights, malaria, packing, deadlines, relationships or finances
