Taking a New Course

Hi there,

There is a reason I haven't posted in a week and if you stick around you'll find out.

 Life throws curve balls all the time (I'm sure you've experienced some), but this curve ball is showing me what God REALLY wants for me after I graduate. The original plan was for me to do a Discipleship Training School through YWAM Townsville, Australia, but God has a different plan for me. I will still be doing a Discipleship Training School through YWAM, but this one will be a little closer to home. Starting September 14, 2016 I will be in Mexico training for an awesome outreach somewhere in the world. My options for outreach range from Latin America, Africa and Asia.

Although this is exciting news I was having a hard time coming to terms with telling everyone what the new plan was. I was afraid people would be upset that my original plan changed. I was expressing my concern to good family friends and my parents and they both told me that sometimes God has a plan for you thats bigger than you could imagine. They also expressed that sometimes God speaks through finances and financially I was not going to be able to do the mission trip is Townsville. As I sat down and realized that God was trying to tell me through finances that the YWAM trip in Australia isn't in my future I came across the YWAM in Mexico. I started researching more about the YWAM San Antonio Del Mar and fell in love. Also, I realized that financially I would be able to afford to pay off my tuition with all the money everyone donated to me! How exciting! All I have left to pay is for my outreach which I will not exactly know where I'll be going until 2 weeks into my training. The prices for outreach range from $2500-$3500. I do have the option to go to Nepal, India. How crazy would that be?!  I'm just so ready to be on the mission field learning, serving and evangelizing. I can't wait to take everyone on this new journey God opened up to me. Thank you for supporting me through big changes and thank you for praying for me.
