"He is the same yesterday, today and forever."

I'm so thankful that when I first wrote this blog I was headed to New Zealand and the lessons God was teaching me then would be so applicable for so many seasons of my life.

The two major things I remember learning then was that:

1. God will lead through His Peace. 

2. To live for Today, and not worry about tomorrow. 

I had to remember this coming back from New Zealand when I felt as though going home was going to be a nightmare and I had no idea what I was supposed to do next. 

Then God lead me to the Middle East and not ONCE left my side during the confirmation of coming, or all the hurdles that need jumping in order to make moving to the other side of the world possible. 

NOT ONCE did He leave me alone. 

Yes, there were times when I felt like He wasn't hearing my complaints, anxious thoughts, and my doubting criticism. But as always He was faithful. He answered my prayers, and equipped me for the move, transition to a new community and journeyed with my through the mood swings and nasty behaviors that come with Culture Shock. 

And here I am again. Faced with the same question that comes up at the end of any season...

"Whats next?"

Well, I want to do what seems comfortable. Which for me is staying in Kstan, live with my best friend Stacy, teach English, and love on my local friends I have spent the last year getting to know.

But I don't want to be a longterm intern. 

Don't get me wrong...I have been so grateful for the opportunities that the Church, District office, Capernwray and now Life Center have given me to learn from great people who love their ministry and Our Father. I am a hands on learner, so I would never trade these experiences for anything.

But it's time for me to get my training with a degree intact to further my career in ministry.

So here I am, preparing my heart to wrap up my time with 

1.the local relationships that I have grown to love so much!

2. A team that has become my family

3. A Church fellowship that loves the Lord and has been such a solid community to be apart of

and journeying alongside a group of High School girls as they are begging God to show them what school they are to go to for college and what to study. 

^but literally, I am journeying with them as this is exactly what I'm trying to figure out. 

There are so many great schools out there, and programs that I can see myself doing. 

As I pray and pray about this, the number one thing I get from God is to seek "His face".....and "One season at a time."

So...

I just completed my application to Simpson University, as well as YWAM's School of Biblical Studies. 

I started my FAFSA application, but am finding some major roadblocks...

I made a list of other schools (all under $30,000 a year), their programs I would be interested in, and their tuition prices. 

and I have started emailing some of the schools from the list to see if it would be worth even applying to that school, ect. 

So prayers for this would be greatly appreciated. 

I don't know where I want to go, what specifically I want to study, or when the right time would be to go.

but what I DO know, is that God spoke to me in my dream last week very clearly. And to sum it up, he talked to me about Him being my first love and gave me an illustration of what that looks like:

(fully surrendering, sacrificing my achievements, loving Him above all things and people)

       

          as well as telling me to

Remember Where He has taken me, Where I am at, and to Trust Him with what is to come.

       
     He is in all of those things.
