Oh, where to begin?
This has been a huge season of leaning in and pushing closer into the arms of my Father. The struggles that we have faced on this trip are shadows of what God has been teaching us and how He is calling us up and out of our insecurities and into His Holy anointing.
I could go into great detail of the challenges and hardships but I would much rather share with you the amazing things that God is doing not just through us, but in us as well.
Things that I have personally grown in is just walking in the obedience of what God is calling me into, and growing in what it means to die to self in order to live a life worthy of the Calling God has placed in me.
As a leader on this trip I have felt the pressures of laying aside and letting go of even my most personal and treasured time alone to seek the importance of encouraging others.
I have felt completely emptied and still felt God using me to pour out on the team and others. I have felt unprepared and incapable but have watched as God used me to speak life into others and in turn fill me with his heart again and again.
There are things on this trip that I have yet to gain understanding on and things I might never "figure out", but I know that God is daily growing me and showing me His strength rising up in spite of my own weakness.
...and there is more to come...
Gods plans keep moving me forward. There where several things on the table at the beginning of this outreach and through my days in Africa God has shown me the importance of placing myself under Godly leadership that I trust.
He has also showed me the importance of the spiritual battle and steps in fighting in the Spirit.
It is with these two thoughts in mind that I have decided to go through a 8 week training program on battling with the weapons of prayer, worship and intersession. The program is called the POWER school and will be starting March 1st at YWAM Chico.
I am looking forward to what God will do in my mind and heart through this program and where it leads me after.
Please continue to pray!
Pray for-
-the team to finish strong in South Africa (two weeks to go!)
-for the team to know where there next steps are after the outreach ends.
-for me and the transition that will take place when I return and start this new program.
-for finances for the POWER school and the future.
-for the things we've learned on this trip to become apart of our hearts and lives and change us in good ways from the inside out.
If you feel God is promoting you to support me financially, Thank you!!!
