Hey Guys!!

So when it comes closer to leaving for Africa, I will be posting on this blog a lot more! But right now, there is just a lot of behind the scenes paperwork stuff going on...nothing too exciting... Except I did buy two jackets that I hope you will like seeing me in for the next two years! haha! :) But other than that, please keep me in prayer, especially for the financial side of everything to just be in the Lord's will! I know it will be! I will be sending out support letters probably within the next two weeks... and so please start praying with me! I DID have a something a little exciting come about...and Im sure you will see this again...but I wanted to show you first! I have a friend who is an AMAZING artist, and I mentioned to him that I would love to have a "Logo" to put on my letters, updates, etc... and so I showed him my idea, and asked him to play around with it... and this is what he drew:


Wow! Right? Well, I thought so! :) I hope you like it too!
I am praying for you and I thank you for praying for me!! I love you all! Thank you for all of your support and love! Bye for now :)

oh ps... id love to see who's keeping updated and has found my blog, so please feel free to comment below :) thanks :P

AFRICA here I come!!!

Im going to......AFRICA!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!

I just want to first of all thank each of you for all your prayers for this opportunity to go with Mercy Ships in Africa. I have been praying so hard and seeking guidance from the Lord and I feel SO blessed to be accepted for a position with Mercy Ships Academy, as a High School science teacher!!! Wow! What an amazing blessing and adventure this will be! I cannot even comprehend what this experience will be like, other than life changing! It doesn't feel like its real yet...but Im sure it will soon enough! Thank you for all your prayers! If you could continue to pray I would love all of it!! I know that we as believers need to keep one another in our prayers and support, especially when we are doing His work.

A few specifics in prayers:

- For the Lord's guidance and preparation for a year or two year's experience in a completely foreign country

-For the support though prayer and financially (prayer is essential!!!) to build and be supplied

-For my future students, co-workers and brothers and sisters in Christ...for the Lord to prepare my heart for them and their hearts for me, and that I will be able to make an impact in their lives according to the Lord's calling

-And especially...for my devotion to the Lord, that it continues to grow each and every day!

Thank you again so much for everything! I will keep everyone posted on where the Lord continues to leads :) I love you all SOOO much!!

Here is a very inspirational video that I discovered one day on Youtube! Chris Rice is one of my favorite singers, and I thought that this video was very appropriate for this time in not only my life, but all of our lives! We should: Go and Hold out our candle, For all to see it, Take our candle, And go light our world!! I pray this inspires you to go where the Lord is calling you! No matter where that may be! Even if that means right here right now :) Lets light our world today! :)

First Post!!

Hey guys! This is my first post on a Blog! I wanted to start a blog, because I know that the next few years are going to bring so much change and exciting events! I am praying that this Blog can be used as a place where I can stay connected with those who I love, pray for and support. I also want to use this as a place for those who will be praying for me and supporting me to feel apart of my life, and experience the new adventures with me. I cannot wait to share with you, and for you to ask, comment, and share with me your adventures with me! Let this be a place where we can share fun times, laughter, joy, hardships, and prayer requests with one another. I love you guys so much, and I would not be where I am today with out you. Please keep me in prayer as the Lord is guiding my steps into new directions. Right now I am praying that the Lord guides me Internationally as a Missionary using teaching as a tool. I applied for a position at Mercy Ships Academy which is a hospital ship that travels from country to country in Africa, and they have a school on the ship for the Missionary Kids (MKs)...in which I applied as a teacher! I will find out March 25th if I got the position! I am very excited and seeking the Lords ultimate will---no matter "Where in the World" He may lead me! Even if its here in SoCal :) Thank you all for your support and prayers! I love you all!
