13 days...

I am in the process of going through clothes and all I have accumulated...wow. It interesting how everytime that I come back home to Texas or get ready to go to the next place that God is sending me, I am constantly having to decide what I need and want to keep. Knowing that I will not be able to take most of it with me I am ok with. In a way I think that it helps me process and begin mentally getting ready to go.
How time has flown by! Everyday I see little ways and huge mountains that God has moved.
What an amazing God that I serve!

Blessed to be a Blessing

I am humbled and amazed at the shower of love and prayers that I have been receiving as I prepare to leave. My heart is overflowing with love and thanks to my dear family and friends who bless in me in so many ways on a daily basis. My prayer for all of you is in this scripture.

Ezekiel 34:26 (Amplified Bible)

²⁶And I will make them and the places round about My hill a blessing, and I will cause the showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing [of good insured by God's favor].

30 days of Prayer

30 days from today, I will be loading up my luggage(i.e., my life and yes I am only taking 2 suitcases!) kissing family and friends and boarding the plane for this next step of my life. I am expectant about what God is going do do through the team from Mid-Cities that I will be traveling with. I am looking for faithful people who will partner with me to pray for the next 30 days. I know that my God has equipped me for such a time as this. While I can see now with my eyes at what is to come, may I be fitted properly with the eyes of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. So that I may truly see those that are hurting and downcast as my Lord sees them, precious and treasured. 

2 Corinthians 8:7 But as you abound in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all diligence, and in your love for us—see that you abound in this grace also.

'I'm leavin' on a jet plane..'

Well after a few hours on the phone with the airline...my precious sister booked my ticket(one-way!) to the beautiful Cape Town, South Africa. So I can say that time has flown by and I am looking back wondering where in the world this past year has gone! Everyday God amazes me with His love and continues to show me how precious this life is. I spent some time last night with my grandpa(Papaw, to those who know him well). It was such a joy to just talk to him about his day. Thank you Lord, for opportunities to enjoy friends and family!

'every season under heaven..' Ecclesiastes 3:1

As I look back at the years of following the Lord, I can see a distinct pattern. Not one that I have designed or created of course. Each year passing has left a detailed mark in my heart and in the lives of those that I have been able to touch with love of Jesus. What an intricate and detailed Lord that I love and serve!
He has placed people in my life at different seasons of my life that have left a mark for the glory of God.

Time draws closer every day to the day that I will once again embark on the next journey that the Lord has for me. I am overwhelmed at the prayers and support of my family and friends.
Thank you to those of you who have been holding me up when I have grown weary.
In every season of this life, I know that I can lean,depend and count on the faithfulness of my Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ.
