Amazing Love!

Hello All,
God has shown up in the past week more than I ever could have imagined. I know that all of you were praying for me that I had made the right decision in what God had told me in my decision to go home rather than go on outreach. We had Lordship week this past week, and it hit me like an 18 wheeler that I was not living as Jesus is my Lord over every aspect of my life. The conviction I felt was unbelievable. The revelation that my Lord and Saviour died on the cross for me, and I can't even give him 6 months out of my life to know Him more and serve Him and let his name be known to people who have never even heard the name of Jesus before. I called my parents, and told them that I could not come home. I am now staying here, and on January 3rd will be going to Thailand for two weeks, Myanmar for 4 weeks, and back here in Western Australia for another 4 weeks. It is the most amazing thing knowing that you are living under Gods will. God spoke so loudly that He wants me to walk through this door, and that He is going to have some huge doors put in front of me that he will want me to walk through in the future, it all starts with me completing this one. God is so amazing in His faithfulness to our prayers, we must be obedient to everything that He speaks! I cannot begin to express the power of prayer is truly. He is the God of perfect timing and that is the truth. He told me that I just had to let go of the rope that is the people I hold so tightly back home. I have to let go of them and grab a hold of His rope, and put 100% of my trust in Him knowing that He will take care of me, and push me into more amazing things than my deepest imagination could have ever come up with! We are talking about the Creator of the Universe talking to me here! How amazing is that!? I will not move forward in life unless I know that I am living under His will furthering the Kingdom however He wants me to. I love you all so much. Please begin to pray for safety and softened hearts of all those we come across on our time in the field. Please spread the word to your friends and churches. We really want to see breakthrough in these places, the light of God needs to be seen by this unreached part of the world! I love you. More to come! Let Go of the Rope, put all of your trust in Him He is so good!

Hello Everyone. We just finished studying on Submission and Authority being taught by Steve O'hearn, the national director for YWAM here in Australia. It was a great week with a lot of important things covered. We went camping this weekend and I experienced more flies in the outback of Australia than I thought lived on the face of the earth. The weather is really heating up here, just doesn't feel like Christmas! I have received a great peace about my decision to not go on outreach. I'm very very excited to be back in Denver. Thank you all for your words of encouragement and supportive attitudes. This week we have Spiritual Warfare. Please keep me in your prayers for continual direction. I have 2 more weeks here then it's back to the States for me! I love you all and can't wait to see you all!
