We serve a miracle working God!

It's so crazy that again I have the privilege to go to another Nation!
With the last DTS school graduated and with a successful trip to Kenya/Uganda that chapter was closed.
I have been home for almost 2 months now and we have just started another Spring DTS.
The Outreach location was known to me before I left for Kenya and was kinda bummed that I wouldn't be able to be part of this Outreach because I just came from one.
ISRAEL- it seemed like I would never be able to reach it!
Ever since I was a little girl I was brought up with the excitement about the Nation and it's people.
As a family we would pray and fast once a week for Israel and through my church some of my family members were able to go and do Outreaches there.
Somehow I was never able to make it there. My whole life I have heard and read about Israel and dreamed to go there on day and now I am so close to that dream.
I was praying about asking the Outreach leader if I was able to join the team. Then a few days ago I took up all my courage and did it. Through a miracle the leader said she'd love for me to be on the team but she had to pray about it. The the last few days it was decided if I could come up with the founds I would be able to come.
4 days ago I started to inform all the people that I could think of to see if they would partner with me.
Right at this moment I have my ticket money and only $540 away from purchasing this ticket! After that for ground fees I will have to pay another $750.

Please I urge you if you feel lead to be part of God's miracle in my life and be apart of this great story then partner with me!

Demonstrate your Trust in Me

DEMONSTRATE YOUR TRUST IN ME by sitting quietly in My Presence. Put aside all that is waiting to be done, and refuse to worry about anything. This sacred time together strengthens you and prepares you to face whatever that day will bring. By waiting with Me before you begin the day's activities, you proclaim the reality of My living Presence. This act of faith- waiting before working-is noted in the spirit world, where your demonstration of trust weakens principalities and powers of darkness.
The most effective way to resist evil is to draw near Me. When you need to take action, I will guide you clearly through My Spirit and My Word. The world is so complex and overstimulating that you can easily lose your sense of direction. Doing countless unnecessary activities will dissipate your energy. When you spend time with Me, I restore your sense of direction. As you look to Me for guidance, I enable you to do less but accomplish more.
Read: Luke 12:22-25, Ephesians 6:12, Proverbs 16:3

God’s calling you; are you going to answer?

Before we even where a thought in our parents mind, before we were in our mothers womb God had already planned out your life. God has a calling for everyone! He is gracious enough to let us choose if we want to follow that calling our not. He gives us the choice to choose Him or the world. He never forces Himself unto someone. He is evident in everyones live in some way shape or form. We might not recognize Him but we is always there for us even when we turn away from Him. God calls His chosen ones to reach out to the unreached to share that God is coming back for us. God gave us different gifts and who are we to not us them? If somebody gave you a brand new free computer would you just put it in your room and never touch it and let dust build up? Of course not! You would us it every free minute that you have and try to add as many things onto it as you can. Well that’s what we should do with our gifts that God has for us. The greatest gift that He ever gave us was His one and only Son Jesus Christ. You probably ask yourself “well how do I return a favor to God?” It’s simple like a father would give his child money to buy him a birthday present so is God with us. God gave us life and we can take that life and give it back to Him. Have Him be in control and totally and fully surrender your life to Him. Trust God to provide for you.

Look at your hands

As I look at my hands after mowing the lawn all day, I see blisters and redness. I take my focus off my hands and look at what I had accomplished. I see a nice lawn, first all covered in weeds and tall grass and now nicely trimmed and smooth. But all that means nothing, when I look at the lady that owns that lawn with a big smile of gratitude and thankfulness in her eyes.
Last week I was reminded what it means to use the hands that God gave me. Do you ever stop what you are doing that moment and look at your hands, questioning yourself what you can do with them, how can you can serve somebody with your hands?
I had the chance to serve an awesome people group last week. God has put the natives on my heart for years and for the first time I got to be part of a team to serve a small community in Apache, OK.
Mowing lawns, scrubbing kitchen floors, weeding gardens, praying, sowing seeds, fellowship.

And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. 1.John 4:17

Wakarusa

"Do you believe in God?" I asked Jessica one of the participance of the music/hippie festival called Wakarusa. "Yes I believe there is a God" she answered. While I was painting her face, she told me the story of how she gave up heroine to raise her son. Unknowingly to her God protected her from any further damage and blessed her with a son. I simply told her that God cares about her and prayed for her. When I opened my eyes after I finished with amen she look at me with thankful eyes and hugged me.

After sharing my testimony with a guy and a girl from Oklahoma I find out that Sky goes to a home church but does not know Jesus Christ as her personal savior and Sean grew up in a christian home but now has no time to go to church because of joining the air force. As me and a friend were trying to ask more personal questions we were interrupted by a man sitting down next to us at our table. It was sad because we could not continue our conversation because that man keep interrupting and making weird comments.
I was so mad because I knew it was not that man I was fighting against, it was the spirit in him that was taunting me. Please keep these people in your prayers....they are so close!

Expect the Unexpected!

Delight in the Lord and He will give you your hearts desires. Ps 37:4

Most of the time I get so consumed by always asking God for things and totally forget to delight in Him. I forget to be thankful for what I have, for what God is doing in my life and how He is taking care of me in ways I would have never expected it.
I am preparing to do more Outdoor Adventure stuff this year and it requires a lot of equipment that costs a lot of money. One day I just started a wish list on amazon of the things that I would need for my trips and posted it on Facebook. I didn't think much of it but I did it anyways. Sure enough an unexpected package showed up 2 weeks later with a climbing harness in it. A day later another package showed up with a climbing helmet. I am in such awe of God's provision in my life. This is just one of many stories of how Jesus Christ the Lord of my life takes care of me His beloved daughter. I believe if you love the Lord with all your heart and learn to delight in Him, get to know Him on an intimate level and give Him back the life that He has given you He will be more than delighted to give you your hearts desires.

Purpose?

Don't forget to enjoy life!

What does it mean to live life to the fullest? The most given answer would be to live life with a purpose!
My purpose first of is to love God with all my heart and love everyone as myself and to serve God with every thing that I have and am. I have taken a risk to live out my passions and sharing the love that God shows me every day with the people that I am surrounded with. Yes, at times it is very uncomfortable walking up to a stranger and asking them how they are doing or even asking them if they need prayer. About three years ago I would have laughed at you if you would have told me that I would become a missionary and travel around the world and fully trust God to provide for every need that I have.  
See, God is a faithful God and He has a time line for everything, all we got to do is trust Him and let Him take over.
Do you have a purpose and are you letting God take over?
