"as you journey through life, choose your destinations well, but do not hurry there. you will arrive soon enough. wonder the back roads and forgotten paths, keeping your destination in your heart like the fixed point of a compass. seek out new voices, strange sights, and ideas foreign to your own. such things are riches for the soul. and if, upon arrival you find that your destination is not exactly as you dreamed of, do not be disappointed. think of all you would have missed but for the journey there, and know that the true worth of your travels lies not in where you come to be at journey's end, but in who you come to be along the way."

Well, I have reached the end of my Discipleship Training experience. Israel was a refreshing place. It is a beautiful country and we were able to spend a lot of time as a group praying for the nation and seeing many of the places Jesus has been. It is very nice to be back in Switzerland, but it is definitely different having new students around. It's very weird to me that everything is coming to an end and everyone will soon part ways. It has truly been an amazing five months that have changed my life. There is really no way to sum up everything into words. This time has definitely been a journey of growth. I can say though that through this experience I have grown most in hearing God's voice, realizing the authority I have in Christ, seeing the power of the Holy Spirit, learning to surrender, and discovering more of what an intimate and personal relationship with Jesus looks like. I know though that it is not over. It doesnt stop now. God is still working so much on my heart and shaping me more into the woman He wants me to be. Its a day to day journey.

So, what is next? I have a month break in Europe before i start the next program with YWAM. On April 4th, i will begin Biblical Core Course. This is an in depth study and reading of the Bible for 3 months. I know that I am supposed to do this course and that it will build a stronger foundation under my feet. I dont really know exactly how I will be paying for this...but i do know that God always pays for His good ideas. So that is the brief and quick update of my life. I really cant wait for the day when i can see all of your faces again. Thank you for your prayers and support. It means so much.
