Hey guys!! It’s your girl <3

I’m in Nepal right now! Leaving for Africa in 3 weeks, where service will be spotty. But yes, I am next door neighbors with Mt Everest right now! And while there is way too much to fit in a blog of what’s happened in my last few months of life, I really want to share what the Lord has been teaching me!! He’s been teaching me, um, SO MUCH. I’ve never been drawn closer to Him, by Him, than now!! So buckle up, He’s too good!

FIRST OFF, HIS LOVE!
My eyes are wide open to His love. He opened my eyes!! I found the treasure of His love!! I found it!!! It’s so beautiful…✨🌷🌱

One day I was hanging in the kitchen with my friend, and God started revealing things about Himself and His love to us back and forth for hours!!! Hours of tears, prayers and joy!! But the biggest piece of love I learned, is how everything, every person, every type of love I will ever feel or see from a person on this planet, is a reflection of His love. We couldn’t come up with it by ourselves.

My parents’ love for me is a reflection of Gods love onto me as my father! So I get to experience God’s love through how they love me! My brothers are also a reflection of Jesus’ love to me, because they are my brothers, and Jesus is our older brother! (He’s the son of God!!) Also through my friends, Jesus is my best friend.
Similarly with my future husband!! We read in the gospels and in Song of Solomon that God is coming back for his bride: the church! And He loves us passionately, He sees us all individually as the love of His life, and we mean that much to Him. And the love I will get from my future husband is supposed to be a reflection of Him! And that is a gentle man🥹. Through marriage I can experience the love of God on this planet in new ways too! Also, I get to experience the love of the Lord through my future children, in the ways that I love my child is a tiny piece of how He loves me as His kid. Anyways just wow! His love is so never ending and indefinite!! I love Him!

God has been showing me lots about how to live this life too, and what my habits are. He’s taught me HUMILITY, SIMPLICITY, & GENTLENESS. In the way I do life and relationships. Aubrey, it’s not that deep & it’s actually not about you;) He’s also shown me this beautiful ORDER OF LIFE!!! When we look at the life of Jesus, we can see that His first priority was His Father! Then… not the mission work of spreading his name and doing miracles, but the disciples were second. And finally, third, was the mission work. I over here, had the mission work first, God second, and community wasn’t even on my radar; work work work, gotta get the job done and no time for friends. But I’m learning, that it’s ok if things don’t get done, and that let me put God, whom I love, first (simplicity). Then, let me pour into my group and team and people I’m around. God put each person around me in my life so I can create a family of friends who I belong to. Then the mission work of the great commission will be an over flow from that fill up!!

Thanks for sticking around this far fam! finally, I’ve learned it’s not about me. It’s ALL about God. There has been so much growth in my heart over the loud thoughts and decisions I used to struggle to make! I was making a lot of decisions with the pressure of Aubrey could make a mistake! But I can’t guys, I can’t mess up!! God is way bigger than my mistakes, and no matter what I do, I’m going to be ok! So stop putting pressure on you, aubs! But the pressure of what I do next year have turned from a decision I could fail, to an opportunity for God to work and move! And this goes a layer deeper to my day to day life. My ideas and the things I bring to the table are all from God. “Every good and perfect gift is from above”, and anything I come up with is His! And my personality… is from Him! I can’t get all upset when things don’t go my way, my ideas get shut down, or when I feel like I’m not enough because it’s not about me! It’s about God who made me, and He made me perfectly, so I am perfect! This also means that I am not putting myself in the hands of my peers to judge me, but in His. And his verdict is a pure, precious daughter.

This leaves no room for fear!
PRAISE GOD EVERYONE!! He’s doing a work in my heart this time around, and I know that He will do it for you too. He loves you a little too much to not draw you close 😉 and if you ever think for a second He doesn’t care about you, you come running to me; I’ll speak some truth over you!! 🫶🏼

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼all my love!!!
