Looking Ahead

Friends, Family, and Support team,

Thank you so much for your prayers and support over the past 4 months, my time in Topeka, so far, has been a growing experience beyond anything I could have dreamed to pray for.

It was brought to my attention recently that the money I raised as support for my year in Kansas is quickly running out, we have had to raise the required monthly amount since my arrival, because we did not realize how expensive living would be, as well as trying to manage some curveballs (car troubles, finding proper clothing for the weather, etc.) that we did not see coming. Due to the circumstances we are prayerfully considering what my next move will be.

I have the option to stay with some great friends of mine in Kansas, and pick up another job on the side to begin splitting time with TMP and working somewhere else. I believe that this would still be beneficial to spend 3-4 days per week at the office, and continue to gain wisdom from the leaders of the ministry. This would be stressful, however, I know my Father in heaven will take care of me if I continue to pursue his calling on my life in Kansas. This situation is a test of faith, and I want to remain faithful to God who called me to Kansas until he finishes his work in me here. My plan is to do whatever is possible to keep me in Kansas until God clearly shows me that I need to be back in Florida.

I am encouraged to have received the grace to react to this situation with such confidence in Christ to sustain me and reveal himself to me. It is just evidence that God is changing my heart, my will, and my affections. Three months ago, if something would have come up that would have made it possible for me to go back to Florida with a legitimate excuse, I would have jumped at the opportunity to drop everything in Kansas and run back to my home state. Now, in stead, I am terrified of being anywhere Jesus is not calling me to be so that he can change me.
Praise God for changing my heart to desire to do his will.

If you are wondering how you can help, I need prayer for the situation; that God would make himself known to me and that I would have the humility and discernment to listen and respond to his calling.

Thank you all, again for your continued prayers and support! I miss everyone in Florida dearly, and cannot wait to see you all (hopefully) soon!

Soli Deo Gloria
