Only one more month...

Well, its been a little while! So sorry! I've been super busy with all kinds of things! We had our Scentsy Party and made a little over one hundred dollars! Thank you Jesus! I'm just believing that God is going to provide! Even if it's not until the day before my deadline! And wouldn't it be just like Him to do that!? :) I spoke with the YWAM register's office a few days ago and got a pretty good idea about what else I'm going to need, how much room I will have,...Etc. I will for sure have three other roommates! And our room is just like a hotel room with two bunk beds, a dresser of 8 drawers, and one closet! So, I won't be able to bring many things! But, I think thats part of the experience, learning to be thankful and content with what you have... with what you NEED. I've reached a little over half of my tuition! I still have about $3,000 to go! And that includes airfare to wherever my Outreach Phase will be! Which I won't know until probably week three or four of my Lecture Phase... so end of September, beginning of October.

As it gets closer and closer to time, I have to be honest, I'm pretty nervous! Everyday life, here in Oklahoma, is easy. It's comfortable. I know everyone around me, I make my own money and spend it on what I want to spend it on, I can take my Courty on a date any day! And all that is about to be stripped away. Which is good, don't get me wrong! I know that then it will be just me and my Jesus, and thats a big reason He's sending me away! But that doesn't exactly make it any easier! I'll miss Court's 4th birthday. I'll miss watching Jett grow for 6 months. I'll miss Christmas with my family. Morning breakfasts with my mom. Family nights every Tuesday. Hanging out with my friends. And the list could go on forever! But that almost makes it even more precious, this journey I'm about to embark on. God invited me, and in order for me to go, I have to leave all this behind. Everything that's ever meant anything to me! Everything I've ever known. An adventure! And it's exciting and scary and sad all at the same time! It won't be easy, thats for sure! But I think it will fly by, and I'll be home before I know it! ....Probably wishing I was still there!

So this last month I am making as much time as possible to be with my family and friends. This week I'm fasting from 6:00pm to 6:00am. (It's harder than it sounds! Like an hour after dinner, I want something sweet!) And I'm also fasting from secular music. I feel like when I surround myself with worship and the word of God, I'm almost a different person! I'm praying for Faith and Trust in the Lord, that He will provide. And I'm praying that He will just continue to make my heart yearn for Him more and more each day! He's always faithful, He's always good, He's never failed me. I can't wait to run away with my Jesus!
