So Fast!

Wow! Last week just flew by, and it must have been because I was working a lot for Jimmy John's (my part-time job) and outside with my mom. I loved it though. I moved a whole pile of wood for her, and we just spent some time getting the house looking nice for her friends coming into town, and I got to do some manuel labor, which I think deep down makes me feel wonderful. I am a hand's on type person and if you give me a job, even though it's tedious, and it's within my capabilities to do, and if I have good company or music, I just love it! I worked for this one guy the summer before I went to thailand painting stuff around his place and stuff like that. I LOVED it because even thoguh it was tedious, it had an end point, and I got to listen to my favorite music, and just enjoy the time completing something.

I think that's why support seems difficult at times, because it's not something I can necessarily finish exactly, it's something more the Lord has to finish. I can do all the steps to get there, but ultimately it's the lord working in people's hearts that will complete my team of supporters.

I took some time out this week just to take some pictures of fall, and it's so relaxing for me, and God has provided some wonderful sceneries for me!!!!

So many people ask how support's going, so if you are wondering, and haven't actually asked recently, it's going well. I am meeting so many people interested in the ministry I am doing and it's so encouraging. I am really enjoying raising support now compared to before going to Thailand. the New Staff Training I went to in September helped encourage me by going through what the bible says about raising support, and how god provides, and what He's called us to. So I guess I just feel more confident now of what I am doing because I know God has already asked me to Go to MSU with Bridges, it's just a matter, of who is going to be blessed by joining my team of ministry partners.

Oh! and Church this morning was AMAZING!!!! I got the chance to go to Riverview this morning. It's the church I went to while I was at MSU. It's a younger congregation, and I have been listening to the sermons while I was in Thailand, along with the Village Church in Texas. It was SO cool, because I have been listening to them teach, and talk about the new building and just all the goings ons at the church, and today I actually got to join them again! I got to finally see the new building after hearing about it for two years, but never being able to visit, as well as hear the pastor in person, and not on a podcast. SO COOL! SO much fun! and the worship was so amazing. It spoke right to my heart this morning. Mostly it was all Hymns. We sang Amazing Grace too, and I have been listening to the song a lot recently because I made a video with the song as the background music, but today I was just moved to tears, that and a couple other songs I have not sung for a year. Not since I was in Copper Mountain, CO for our briefing conference and my new team that I was going to Chiang Rai with.

Wow. I just. I mean. wow. it was great. Thank you god. Thank you for amazing music! It just stirred up all the hopes and dreams I had a year ago, and then I think of what God did these past two years, the lives he's changed, tha amazing experiences that happened, the blessings, the hardships, the transformation. wow. it was good.
