How Plans Change...

The last couple weeks have brought a lot of soul-searching, a lot of praying, a lot of listening to God, some pain and finally, a decision. While meeting with Harmony from the YWAM Mazatlan base when she was here for debrief after the DTS I realized that over the last couple months I have grown tired and honestly, burnt out. In a way I have really been "running on empty" for a while now and it has affected me in various ways.
So after talking with Harmony and my leader Chris we decided that something needed to be done so that I could be refreshed and rejuvenated in Christ. The first idea was that I would go to Mazatlan for a week or so and just get poured into. As we thought and prayed about it, however, we realized that that option might not be the right choice for now.
So as we continued praying God revealed that He wanted me to do the WISE school (the school of Worship, Intercession, Spiritual Warfare, and Evangelism) at the YWAM Mazatlan base. After I prayed and heard the Heart of the Lord about it, I decided to take the challenge. So late next week I will be packing up and heading back to YWAM Mazatlan where I will stay for 3 months. During that time I am expecting the Lord to do some amazing things in and through me and really bring refreshing and new revelation to my heart.
Please be praying for me during this time that God will reveal Himself to me more and more and that God will provide for the school financially as well. I am still in need of around $800 to complete the cost of the school, so please donate as well as the Lord enables you.

A Graduation and a New Beginning

Last week the YWAM Mazatlan September DTS came to a close. It was overall a very good DTS. There were many ups and downs, laughs and hard times, but when it was all said and done I believe people left here forever changed and in the end that's what really matters.
So the DTS left and now it is jut the staff here in the two apartments. So it is just the seven of us staff living here. This week as staff we have really been focusing on praying and asking the Lord to give us a heart for the city and show us why He has us here. We are really trying to push in to the Lord and know God's purpose for us here.
