Heading Out...

I'm heading down to Salem, Oregon in less than a week... yikes!  Time to step out in faith on this grand adventure called missions!  

Enjoy this video about my choice to be a missionary and to share God's love with others.

I would love to have you pray for:

• A smooth transition into missions. 
• Health and safety in all situations I come across.
• Trust in God to rule in my life instead of fear.
• Me to be fully funded with mission support.

Thank you to all who have prayed for me and supported me on this journey!   

I couldn't do this without you!

Cuddle Bug!

This is a common scene in the evenings at my house... 

Loving the "Couch Hog"

We started out with the "no dog on the couch rule," but this big lug wouldn't have it that way.  He is "King" of the couch and usually claims 2/3 of it leaving me with just enough room to squeeze in.  


I'm leaving for Salem, Oregon next week to be a missionary with YWAM and I'm going to miss my Bentley!

Have No Fear...

Oh, what a wild ride the last few months have been! 


I had no idea what to expect as I began transitioning into missions and I'll have to say that it has been a journey of growing my faith and trust in the Lord.  Some days I felt confident in my future as a missionary and other days the process of becoming a missionary seemed utterly impossible.  I hate to admit it, but I almost applied for a job at the local feed store because it seemed much easier than following what God has called me to do.  I'm sure working in a feed store would be a blast for this animal lover, but I know that God's plan is even better than anything I can come up with for myself.  


I'm choosing to remain steadfast in my calling as a missionary even when many things are unknown and I have areas of fear.  Over the last year God has shown me over and over again that the areas of fear in my life are exactly where HE wants to show up and prove HIS faithfulness to me.  Just beyond the fear there is freedom, peace, and joy; knowing that God is BIG enough and GOOD enough to take care of my every need.  I will press on and push through this wall of fear knowing that good things are on the other side!  


Just last night a friend reminded me that perfect love drives out fear.  I think it's amazing how God timed this perfectly so that today, on Valentines Day, I'm able to rest in God's perfect love without the presence of fear.  


Thank you Lord for your AMAZING LOVE!  You truly are the love of my life!
