6.25.2010

I probaly should of started a blog long ago. I just never decided to take the time and the effort. I am sorry if this is incredibly boring for you. It's more for me. The joys of electronic media.

6.25.2010 Marks a date that is etched in my heart. It was a Friday, the last day of Sumer of Service a big youth conference that my church puts on. SOS for short. I was beyond excited for Friday, because we always have baptisms. I baptized seven people on 6.25.2010. It was incredible to be a part of their descions to go public with their Faith. However, the day had even more significane. I heard from God for the first time in my life. Other people heard from God for me. I knew God was calling me, although I could not decifcer just what. I had put so much into the life of my girls during SOS, I had not even been thinking about what God had planned for me. I was radically blessed during that June day.
A simple song lyric from that night sticks in mind:
"And if Our is for us, then who could ever stop us, and if Our is with us then what can stand against"

Later, during the summer. I made a trip to Northern Ireland with my church. I learned there were people 5,000 miles away who had the exact same Faith I did. God was calling me to missions, long term I thought.

Through people I knew, I found out about internships with Back2Back. And you did not have to be 18, which is usually a requirement for things of that nature. I felt called to apply. Over much prayer, i interviewed. I found out I need to go on a short term mission trip before I could be an intern in Monterrey. I was accepted for the internship after much prayer, tears, confusion, and really trusting God. Of course, God wants us to trust Him, and not get to do things are way.

However, I may go back in detail but I'm going to Monterrey Febuary 11,2011, and back in June for a month. I'm also running a Half Marathon along the way. Here is to trusting God with my future, body, money, and more.
