As much as I felt God was calling my husband and I to SA this fall, I was wrong. And I'm surprisingly at peace...which obviously means it is all part of his magnificent plan! July, August, and September of 2013 is what we are praying about! I know I'm suppose to go back, but I don't know when...and when it is GOD's time then it will HAPPEN! =]
For now...I am very excited to be supporting my cousin Megan as she leaves to go back for 2 years! I love her so much and I am so excited to see how the Lord will move!!!
So while I am here in the homeland (no matter where I go):
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it SHINE!

199 Days.
It's been one hundred and ninety-nine days since I have returned from South Africa, and the thought of that place STILL brings me to tears. Some days I just break down...I can't even stop the tears that pour down my face. The things I once categorized as a need have clearly become wants, and daily my passion for missions ignites into a larger flame. I miss it, I miss everything about it. It's like my heart is tied there, I CAN NOT wait to go back!
Recently Jordan (my fiance) and I found out that we did not get a job at a camp we wanted to work at this summer, but we have both been at peace about it and after I found out my first thought was Africa. In the past two days my heart has been racing with excitement at the thought of going back sooner than 2013. I feel God has been sending me little hints that lean towards us going. So, my soon to be Husband and I's return to Africa may be sooner than we think! We have this call to drop everything and go...August/September?? It is so possible!! ...Lord, reveal your plan so we may follow.
God is really working in my life and in the lives around me! Watching His grace, His love, and His spirit move has been fascinating. I know that no matter where at in this world I am placed, God is using my joy and love to reach out to others. Lord keep using me for your kingdom and your glory!
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine!
