I leave for Perth in 12 days! I can't believe it has come up on me so fast! I feel so confident that this is where God wants me but im also a bit sad to leave. Im sad to miss another PEI summer since its always the best time to live on the island, but I feel its time for another adventure. I am trying to put aside my worries and give them up to God. I feel a bit overwhelmed with the things that I have to do to get ready, packing is one thing... but it will all be done and I will be there, so crazy to think!

I guess I have just a few prayer requests if you are reading this: One is that everything would go smoothly in my preparations, and also the preparations being made by my school leaders and the other people coming to my school. Two that my money for outreeach would come in as well as other students money. and Three that my heart would be prepared for all that I am going to learn in the next 6 months!

mysterious ways

Well today I recieved a confusing email from the YWAM Perth base. It was a great email from the July DTS leader talking about her excitement for the July DTS and all that But the confusing part is that it was addressed to all the people who are accepted to the July DTS... and I haven't recieved word that I was accepted yet. Sooo... I don't know what is really going on, but it will all work out. Im hoping that this means that Im accepted but there isn't much time so I hope they get back to me soon. anyway thats it I guess. I will update again as soon as I know what is going on.


UPDATE!!! Well its all cleared up and I am ACCEPTED!!! phew!! Im so so so pumped! its going to be great!

Hallelujah, He Reigns!

I love this song, and I love the video. I was actually crying when I watched it first. Sorry I don't have my more to update.

Things finally worked out with my YWAM application, and they finally got it!! So Im pumped. But the school starts in 8 weeks, so I would love to have your prayers as to the processing of my application and everything. God has it all under control so im not at all worried, but prayers never hurt!!

pour me out

I was reading to the deeper group a couple devotions from "My Upmost for His Highest" The title of both devotions was "Are you Ready to be Poured out As An Offering?"

One line that really got to me was "It is one thing to follow God's way of service if you are regarded as a hero, but quite another thing if the road marked out for you by God requires becomming a "doormat" under other people's feet."

Frankly this scares the crap out of me. Of course I have done things in the past that I haven't gotten any credit for. But I will admit that I DID complain about not getting credit for those things... if only in my own mind. As humans we want to get credit from people, even if its just one person that notices what we have done at least one person noticed. I have been challenged to let the recognition from God be enough for me. To not seek recognition from man, but just from God, knowing that He knows what I have done and is pleased, letting myself get peace from that. I have been challenged to let myself be poured out as an offering, even if its for something small and perhaps insignificant.

Hello world here's the song that we're singing...

Well... it seems that I may make the switch over from my xanga blog to blogger. I just like the way that the new blogger works and looks. So here I am blogger world!

I have decided to call this blog "Becoming a Lover" because thats what I want to be. No not in some psycho crazy sexual way, I want to be a lover of people and of God first and foremost. He is teaching me how to become this way, little by little.

My thought for today is this, quotes taken from Shane Claiborne's book "The Irresistable Revolution"

"I am not concerned with what I am going to do. I am more interested in who I am becoming. I want to be a lover of God and people."

"I was convinced that what we do is not nearly as important as who we are."

"Do not worry about your career. Concern yourself with your vocation, and that is to be lovers of Jesus." - Mother Teresa
