My Next Step

While I was in Kenya, Jesus was working in my heart for sure. He showed me that there were no commitments that I had to come home for. There was nothing going on in my life that I had to get back to. I believe that was all God's perfect timing. Jesus has show me that He has called me to do more. I had been thinking about going to YWAM (Youth With A Mission) in September of 2014, but I wasn't really sure if it was Jesus' plan for me. But at the Gauntlet, He showed me that it was His plan. We got to hear the story of Meredith Knox who has been called to move to the UK to be a missionary. It was during worship while we were singing the song Oceans by Hillsong United, when Jesus revealed to me that if Meredith can say "YES" to Jesus and MOVE to the UK to be a missionary, I can say "YES" to 6 months away from home for missionary training school and outreach. So I know Jesus has called me to say "YES" to this and trust Him to provide me with the resources. 

YWAM is a Discipleship Training School where I will be learning a lot more about Jesus and missions. I will be in Wisconsin for 4 months and in a different country for 2 months. The crazy things is this, I need at least $3,500 by mid September of 2014. In total I will need around $7,000-$9,000. This is a huge amount of money and I have been tempted multiple times to forget this whole thing. But if there is Anything that Jesus has taught me lately, it is that He is going to provide for me. Whatever I need. Period. This seems to be the biggest thing He is continually showing me. He provided all the funds for my trip to Kenya. He provided me with a CAR! He has always provided for me. The simple fact is this : When you put Jesus first in your finances, He WILL bless you for it. So I'm just choosing to trust Jesus in this. Call me crazy if you want. I don't care. I serve a HUGE God who loves me so much and wants to provide for me. 

I am so pumped for my next step and I am trusting in Jesus for the funds necessary. Please be praying for me as I take this next step. Yes, I do trust that Jesus can provide. And yes, I do believe He has called me to this. But obviously there are times when I become discouraged and begin to doubt whether this is even possible. So prayers are super appreciated. Thank you all SO much for everything!
