I am so sorry it has been so long since I have updated my blog and unfortunately this one is going to be short and sweet. It has been a crazy last week and a half. We moved onto the ship for the week while the National Leader's Meeting is being held at our base. I love the ship. It is small yet cozy! It is right on the beach so morning runs have been a dream come true!!
Lectures this week are on relationships-oohhh lala. Not quite. We will be talking about marriage relationships but to start with we are talking about our everyday relationships. I am learning a lot about myself and what I contribute to relationships. With the good, I am also learning about of a lot of issues I have with relationships and areas I need to work on to be a better friend, sister, daughter and someday wife. In order to grow we must change and change can be hard but I am anticipating it with an open heart to let God do whatever he pleases.
We also found out that we will be going to Papua New Guinea for our outreach!! We are dividing up into 4 teams and will all go out into different cities. We find out all the specifics on that tonight. We will be in PNG for 5 weeks and then our groups will go out into different parts of Australia for 4 weeks to go to different schools and churches and tell people about what God is doing and the testimonies of our experiences in PNG. I just have an excitement in my heart about this trip and have true faith God is going to speak a lot about my future through my outreach.
As far as finances, I still do not know the exact number on outreach but would guess anywhere from $2500-$3000 which is making me about $900 away from that. Earlier today I was $1500 away but received $600 in total today from 2 amazing supporters. $900 sounds like a big number but if you break it down...if 30 people give me $30 I would be at my goal. God is really challenging me to rely on Him in this and to allow him to use the body of Christ to get me to this goal. I want to allow him to use you guys and give you guys the opportunity to support me. This is such a fear of mine to "ask for money" but in that alone God is doing work because it is such a humbling experience. Humility seems to be a theme in this past week :)In no way do I want people to feel obligated because I have faith God is going to provide but I am simply asking for prayer. Not only in finances but in missing home and everything that is going on there that I am not able to be a part of and for growth. God is beginning a great work in my heart and strengthening my life long relationship with him. I want to be changed at the end of this.
I will continue to remind you all that this adventure is not mine alone but each and every one of you are apart of this. I am learning because of your support and soon(55 days to be exact) I will be in Papua New Guinea where lives will be changing and the credit all goes to God and the people He used to get me there. I love you all so much. I wish I had more time to write but my meeting calls. Hoping you are all well at home.
