Just under a month and I'll be headed back to Kona! So many mixed feelings in that statement! I'm so excited to be back in kona and with the incredible community at ywam, and have anticipation for what the Lord has in store for me, but there are people I have to leave behind and sometimes that's hard! Although all my friends and family are supporting me and excited for me as well, I'm definitely going to miss them! Praise God for Skype and texting apps! :)
One of the biggest things I've been learning since being home is about partnership. The Lord always seems to want to take me deeper in learning how to trust him more and continue in step by step affection based obedience. Support raising has definitely worked those spiritual muscles! Its been a challenging but good process in learning how to partner with the Lord and trust him in this area of my life. Its a daily obedience process of asking him what is the next step, who is the next person to contact, and what is the best way to clearly communicate my vision and his direction in my life. Some days the overall goal does seem a bit overwhelming though! But I remind myself that He is faithful and He is provider and I'm confident in Him!
With that being said, I am currently at a committed $460 a month, just over half way to my monthly goal! I am still in need of more monthly support partners or one-time gift contributions. Everyone on YWAM staff is a volunteer and we raise our own support! It is such a privilege and blessing to be able to join with friends and family and partner in what the Lord is calling me to do. Not everyone has the calling or the opportunity to go, but we can all sow into the kingdom by loving and support those who do, both in prayer and financially. I would love if you would please pray and consider the idea of partnering with me! As part of my family or one of my incredible friends, or someone the Lord led to read this, I would love to share and invest in each other lives and have you be a part of this adventure with me! I cannot do any of this without Jesus and all the people behind me supporting and praying for me! By supporting me to go, any and all of the victories the Lord wins through my team and I will also be your victories. Any amount is incredible, it's more the willingness to give and the desire to be a part of this with me that is the biggest blessing!
