wrapping up

My DTS is over, finished. It went well, I learned more than I thought I would or even could learn in just 6 months. I found more of God, I found Friends, I found love, I found my home. If you want to continue keeping up with whats going to happen over the next couple years as I head back to South Africa in September you can follow my other blog:

Lamb amongst Wolves

This will be my life blog. I'll update you one my mission work, schooling, everything! So make sure to follow that one if you have been following my blog here.

Hope you are all doing well, school is almost done...summer is almost here.

I can't thank you enough God for the things, people, and places you have allowed and are allowing me to go to. Its above and beyond my wildest dreams. I'm so ready to lay down everything and follow what You have planned for me. Lets do it Jesus!

Thank you all who supported me and who still are supporting me during this transition from DTS, to full time mission work! 

Prayer

super sweet thing just happened wanted to share it.
so i have been at the airport in abu dhabi for uhhh 5 hours now, and for a couple of those hours i was trying to figure out what i could do without any  money. so i looked in my backpack and i found this page that is titled:  1 HOUR PRAYER GUIDE. it is super cool actually, i am going to share it with you guys, but im telling you when you do this be open to hearing God speak because woahh my head got bombared with things. my one hour ended up being 2 hours so just be careful. but forreal try this its really nice.

1 Hour Prayer Guide:

1-5 min: worship, call upon Gods name (you can do that by playing worship songs, or just calling out all the names for God.)

provider,
healer,
most high,
redeemer,
creator,
sheperd
one who  gives rest,
savior,
lord of all,
king of kings.

6-10: Pray for personal revival.  Test yourself with these questions:

-is there any unconfessed sin in my life?
-do i harbor unforgiveness and bitterness in my life?
-are there any sketchy practices or activities in my life?
-am  i confessing Jesus unashamedly?

11-15: Pray for 5 unsaved friends, families, or indiviuals. Pray blessing over them in 5 areas; body, work, emotions, social and spiritual.

Ask the Lord to reveal new things to you, things that He wants you to notice and pay attention to. Ask God to reveal his will/strategies and plans to you. Ask the Lord for the things that are on His heart that  He wants you to pray about. Write down what you think God is saying to you.

31-36: hopefully you have your bibles, if not grab them becauseyour about to pray through  some scriptures. praying through scriptures can mean you declare what is said over your life or others, it means asking for the charateristics mentioned in the verse, or just reading it.

Kransoek, New Horizon and Jbay last couple of weeks

Kransoek, New Horizon and Jbay last couple of weeks:

These weeks we did basically the same things as before, nothing really stood out to me. I had some personal situations that really challenged me and the verse in 1 Corinthians 10:13 really helped me,

“No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”

This verse seriously man carried me through the last couple weeks. We are back in Jbay now for the last weeks. It is SO GOOD to be back, I can't even tell you how relaxed I feel. We still are in outreach, next week the team from Madagascar is coming back. The ocean is beautiful, this place man its home. It was good to reconnect with the boys on the base, and with the kids on the street. Diego is still on the streets, I will be talking more to him as this month comes to a close. Its sad to think I leave in less than a month. But its also exciting because God is opening so many doors for me back home. At this point of time I'm planning on staying in MN until June, then I will head to Oklahoma to live with my grandparents and work with them and speak at various churches. As of now I am thinking of staying until September then flying back here to do the 2^nd level school with YWAM called, Bible Core Course (BCC). That is a three month school, after that I plan to sign with YWAM for 2 years to staff DTS's. So this is a rough idea of what will be happening with me over the next couple years. Its of course if God allows, but I am open to anything He wants me to do, I guess we will just take it day by day for now until those days for decisions happen. I hope you guys are doing well:)

My flight leaves March 11^th, so I will be home soon.
