For the joy set before me…
And so l pack my things and leave once more
Surely He cares for the sojourner
Once again joy is the choice set before me
His beauty found in my sunset orange flowers
So if l was born to run
My home will always be running into His arms
Wow- so much has happened in the past five months since I last wrote a blog. Above is something I wrote over half a year ago and I had no idea that it would again be applicable in such a short time- if ever. Thank you Jesus for your heart and how you just know.
Malaysia was absolutely insane- from miracles, teaching in Indian and Chinese schools, being illegal as missionaries and blessed to equip others to share The Gospel. The Lord taught me how to hurt deeply with him, from deeply empathizing with Him regarding others to personal deep pain of being tormented by spiritual warfare that in all honesty broke me. Jesus is a redeeming and healing God who has since walked out so much freedom with me and I have gained a greater understanding of supernatural hierarchy. Also now I have such a deep empathy to feel supernaturally feel what other people feel- which is just incredible in general! I also have a problem with run on sentences so bear with me.
Full circle moments happen rarely but have become so precious and common the past few months. My whole squad and two others that began with us all returned to North Carolina with the opportunity to serve the community of Black Mountain with Adventures In Missions. My squad and I eight months before had been in the landslide that took out the community, and were honored to spend the week demoing and rebuilding the homes in the community along with revisiting the cabins we had been in.
Returning to the disaster sight was extremely difficult but His Goodness still showed up and shined through in the ways the community banded together, worshiping in the midst of pain and getting a different perspective of how blessed we really are.
The Lord told me several country’s into the race to take three months to pray and intercede without working and be home. When I got home after a precious debrief and sad goodbyes,my church community exploded into the most amazing friend group and community I’ve ever been apart of and I love them with my whole heart.
I have had the privilege to be spending my time home as a leader at different church camps, spending some time with my family- getting to know my new sister-in-law and Stepdad more ❤️, getting involved back at my church and different ministries,learning guitar and stewarding the gift of worship Hes given me. I’m so grateful that wherever The Lord takes me not only do I always have a home in San Angelo Tx but also He gives me Fathers, mothers, little brothers and sisters, mentors and friends everywhere I go- which I’ve never realized I needed so much.
Where is she even going with this…?
Currently the Lord has directed me to do DLTA. DLTA is a Discipleship Leadership Training Academy through AIM in Georgia with the purpose of developing ( just what it says) development in Christ centered leadership which starts with learning about God, Christ in ourselves and where we fit in the kingdom- which long term does into development in Christ to sustain and strengthen long term life on mission. I had considered going to a supernatural ministry school in California but The Lord has shown me that he has wanted to teach me a lot of things Himself in a different way. So once again, I’m currently preparing to move in five days till at least December, starting school courses,along with the ministry we are going to be partnering with, and the little quaint coffee shop I’m going to be working at.
The Lord has set me apart for a life on mission, down the road I have an inkling that I will be moving and doing some sort of ministry in Oregon and eventually visit Turkey. Ministry can be in anything and everything in your daily life, I’ve found when your perspective slowly starts shifting new characteristics of God are revealed and prevalent in simple things I would have never even thought of.
If your interested with partnering with me long term please reach out to me via Email, messenger, text or anything else you can think of 😂
