"Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, To the house of the God of Jacob; That He may teach us concerning His ways, and that we may walk in his paths." Isaiah 2:3

Hello friends and family!
Well, you have possibly been wondering why I have not updated this page in quite some time. The truth is...I completely forgot my password and username to this blog site. So, I finally decided to take some time and try every single possible password that I remember having in my life. Well, as you can see...I finally found the right match.
So, I am officially home after being gone for nine months. What an amazing adventure this year has been. Taking a year off of school was definitely an uncomfortable step into the unknown, yet I wouldn't have changed the decision for anything. This year has probably been one of the best years I have had in my life. So many times I was reminded of God's faithfulness, His power, and His love. I realized that we must truly die to our own agendas, control, and desires in order to fully live and embrace the life God has intended for us.
I had no idea why God was leading me to stay an extra three months to do the Biblical Core Course, especially with the little detail of having absolutely no money to pay for this course. However, through the BCC course, it really strengthened me in my foundation and helped me learn how to really trust in God with the provision of my financial needs. What a great reminder of His faithfulness (especially with the things He calls us to do).
So, this ywam season has finally come to an end. What a year! I will forever remember the memories, friendships, and lessons I learned this year, but I know I am stepping into a new chapter of life. I do not know what is ahead. But, I know that just how God has led me this far, He will continue to direct my steps. I plan on staying home in St. Louis for the fall, taking some classes, and getting a job. I am excited to see the new things God does in this new season.
So, I just want to thank each one of you for the blessing and encouragement you all have been in my life. Continue to DELIGHT yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4). All we need to focus on is delighting and abiding in God and the desires of our heart will be given to us. God bless you all. I pray that you will be filled with all the fullness of God, that your intimacy with Christ will increase, that God will continue to reveal the person He has intended YOU to be, and that God will contine to show you the power and glory of who He is. Amen and the end.
