Well... It's March 29.. and only 9 more days till I begin my journey in Hawaii. God is still continually blessing me, and i want to thank each and everyone of you for keeping me in your prayers, I appreciate it so much. God is so amazing and truly reveals himself to me each and every day. I have heard that there are just over 60 people in my DTS (discipleship training school) and we will all be together in out training in Kona. After training, and we set out for our outreach, we will break into 4-5 different groups to either Central America, Mexico, Africa, or Haiti and France. I've had a calling to Haiti since i was 16 years old when i attended NYC (Naxarene Youth Conference) in St. Louis Missouri and never really understood what God meant, maybe this is what he meant over 3 ywears later. Be praying for me in that area as well. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for me, He is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me. Thank you all for everything continually and next week it begins! I will keep you all updated through this and facebook and many pictures to come. God Bless!

Just a little over a month until I leave on this journey God has set before me in my life. Life is going so well. God is so good to me, just as He always is. My job is going very well. It is such a blessing from God. The three churches I attend throughout the week are amazing churches that I know God has placed in my life. Everything is gradually coming together for YWAM. I'm a little worried about the responses on my support letters though. I've talked to some other students that will be attending the PhotogenX DTS with me in April and a few of my leaders and they said that DTS's in Hawaii are the most difficult ones to raise support for becuase of the fact that it is in Hawaii. I'm not going on this journey BECAUSE it's in Hawaii. I am going here becuase this is the only YWAM base that offers the PhotogenX DTS, where I feel God strongly calling me to be involved with. Please continue praying for me that God will provide. Thank you for all your prayers, God bless!

Philippians 4:6-7Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
