Laying my life down for love.

Hey guys! Okay, so this post took much longer to write and put up than I had previously anticipated, so sorry about that!

After attending my Discipleship Training School with YWAM last June, and arriving back home this last November, God has been doing a lot of work in my heart. Some of you know that I struggled with the decision of whether or not to attend the School of Evangelism, another school YWAM offered after the Discipleship Training School. I had planned on it, but decisions were made and I did not end up going. Since then, I have been anxious to know what God has planned. These last few months have definitely been a season of patience, practice, and preparedness. But now what?!

I have always felt called to love. To know the love of Jesus, and to become a vessel of His love, pouring out into others lives. But what does that look like? What does that really mean?

For me, in this next season, God is calling me to do a school with Heidi and Rolland Baker's Iris ministry in Pemba, Mozambique. The school is the 'Harvest School of Missions' and consists of going to Mozambique for 3 months, surrendering yourself to God and laying your life down for love. How awesome is that?! For these past six months, I continuously have this craving for a real, intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit--one that knows no boundaries, that strives to go deeper than I could have ever imagined--that is completely whole.

So, with that, I am planning on attending the school next June. It is from June 1st to August 9th 2013. Even though it is a year away, I am so stoked! Twelve months will be go by so fast--and that is why I am raising support starting now. If you would like to contribute, honestly anything helps! I am grateful for the community and family that I have around me to help support me. I am looking for ways to keep the finanical aspect as organized as possible, so I will be looking into a Paypal account, so it will be easier to access for anyone who would like to contribute.

Alas, this is only the beginning of God's huge journey for me. This is where I start. This is where I dive in, wholeheartedly. Holy spirit, I am ready! And Mozambique, l'll see you soon :)
