God is sooo awesome! Even though I'm still freaking out about going to YWAM and being away from everything I am accustomed to, God's still paving a way for me! In the last 3 or 4 weeks I have been put in contact with 2 people who just recently got back from mission trips to Haiti, one, in Port and the other on the southern coast of Haiti, around Jacmel..ect. It's totally crazy that this time last year-before I recieved the calling-I didn't think many people were that involved in Haiti because I didn't usually hear much about people going and serving there. But God has brought so many people in my life to teach me about Haiti, and to tell me about others experiences! It's very encouraging. Not only have I been in contact with those two people, but my DTS leaders wife Donna has been to Haiti 2 times. When she was 17 she took two trips to Haiti, and that's where she recieved her calling into missions!! HOW AWESOME IS THAT? I cried when I found that out, because it's going to be so amazing to hear her stories and to become friends with her while I'm living in Colorado for 12 weeks. It just shows me how truly awesome God is and that He's always going to bring people into my life when I stuggle with second guessing myself.
Yesterday Dave preached a really amazing-and convicting-sermon about how we need to step outside of our comfort zones and turn Putnam county upsidedown for Jesus! Seriously, people in other countries are risking their lives to share the love of Jesus and we are sitting here in America-a free country!-and not doing anything about the tons of people dying and going to hell everyday! WHAT ARE WE DOING? Dave talked about Satan stealing our joy, and I have really been praying that I would recieve joy again, just that I won't be discouraged anymore. And it's totally been better, today was a GREAT day and I had so much joy, I only caught myself second guessing myself for a moment, and at that instant I prayed and everything was better. God's so much bigger than the enemy and I know that with Him I won't have to be discouraged again-as long as I stick with praying to Him all the time-! I really believe that our church could turn Putnam county upside down for Jesus, and after we accomplish that work on Indiana, then America because we all know how badly that needs to happen.
God's awesome, and I'm totally excited to serve Him for the rest of my life! Please pray for me that I can keep the joy, and pray for the members of churches here in America that they would wake up and realize that we just celebrated we live in a free country, which means we need to get off our butts and reach this lost and dying world!!
In Christ ALONE,
Jenny
