I can't believe it is the end of week 8. Time has been going quickly. We have less than 27 days until we leave for Mexico City! I am getting excited to go and have loved how God is stirring in everyone that excitement to go! We are in the process of figuring out how everyone will pay for the outreach fees. As a school we have over 60 thousand that needs to come in by the 10th of March. I have been learning a lot about faith in God for finances. Please pray with me that our school will watch God work to cover all of this expense!
This week we had John Bills come and speak to our class on the Fatherheart of God. John is a longtime YWAMer. For those of you that have been reading Joy Dawson's book Intercession, John is actually married to Joy's daughter! He was such a neat guy who has spent much of his life ministering to people with AIDS as an AIDS hospice chaplain. His experiences working with people with AIDS helped to show the heart of our Father in heaven. I have been so blessed to have an awesome earthly father that has always loved and cared for me! (Love you Dad!!) I realized this week that not everyone has that and it can affect how we view God the Father! We also can have experiences with others that the enemy uses to taint our view of God. We spent time this week working through our false views of God that affect how we receive God as Father. God has unlimited Fatherly affection, acceptance, faithfulness, generosity, attentiveness and authority with each and everyone of us. He is a loving God that is perfect in every one of those ways. It was such a great week and good reminder of what a great Father we all have!!
Thanks to all of you that have been praying for me! I can tell that you all are speaking to God on my behalf! This week I found out that I had some damage done to my condo because of a leaky pipe. Please pray with me that this can get fixed soon and that the damage is minor. My insurance should cover some of it but this will be an added expense! God is a generous God though who cares for all of us and I know he will provide! Thanks in advance for praying for this for me!!
This past week I had the many opportunities to talk with friends. I was able to talk with all the Brouwers in Canada, went to Cliff and Cristine's house one night, talked with a friend from Oregon and my sister and Mom and Dad. I felt so energized by talking with them and incredibly grateful for the support system God has given me. I am blessed by all of you!! Please know that all of you are loved by me!! Thanks for reading!!
