Okay so I have been in California for the past few days. A year ago today i landed in South Africa after surrendering all to live for the gospel of Jesus. What a crazy year it has been. From learning God can be my father /provider, to leading a YWAM outreach, to going to Zimbabwe and leaving after finding a place where God would send me long term, to serving further in South Africa to Mozambique to all the way in Olympia Washington God has had his hand in all that I have done. Sometimes I have been 100% obedient sometimes I have been 100%  obedient BUT have kicked and screamed the whole way.

Over all God has taught me most importantly about his love. You see "Love Looks Like Something". This is the theme for the reunion/conference I am at right now and we are getting to really hear about God's love. More and More I get to have God place imprints on my heart. Today when the ministry lead from Mozambique Rolland Baker spoke he talked about how "until God becomes your primary love you are an adulterer" so I pray more fervently than ever for all idols and other areas of my life i have not surrendered to be given fully to the lord. You see the Christian life and the life of a Missionary is not about us or about getting enough tough it out give it up moments as it is about 'falling' in love with God and this falling is not hard work.. When we love God above all and with all our heart he will then show us all his affections to us and let his blessings flow'.

TESTIMONY: since being back as an "American Missionary" I have received more blessings and have seen God's hand in my 'living by faith' than I could have prayed for. Within the first week of being back I had a cell phone given to me and was put on the family plan of the Decon from  my sister's Church. I have had a car purchased for me, insured and filled with Gas. I have been given cash donations from non-Christians and broke-Christians who have been led by the spirit to give and most recently after getting news I need some fillings I have had an offer from my sister's neighbour who is a dentist to pay the upward of $1200.00 worth of services for me and do the work for FREE!!! AND I will then be able to be a witness when I am being served by this non-christian!

God is so great! A year ago I doubted his ability to provide for me and now i full heatedly know that the Holy Spirit is with me and is sending what I need when I need and I am submitting myself to another year of miracles and signs and wonders!

Funny story...picture me today in the pharmacy of a Walmart praying with people waiting for prescriptions for healing!!! I mean we have an outreach time and I though what a better place than a pharmacy! We prayed for headaches and prostate cancer it was a blast!!! Watch out when I am around 'cause everyone is an opportunity for the Holy Spirit to drop a fun bomb!!
