What God Has Been Teaching Me

Hey guys! I hope this find you all well. :) This past Sunday was my first actual deposit for my trip. God is so great that He provides everything just as we need it! My next deposit of $700 is due February 22.

I also wanted to share with you guys that I had the privilege of being a leader for Disciple Now (which is a weekend discipleship retreat) at Highland Baptist Church. I was a leader of 7 amazing 8th grade girls! God really spoke this weekend and it was so neat to experience it! Our speaker Chris Brooks taught on tough topics, like how we need to stop going to church and start BEING the Church. We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works and spread His name (Eph. 2:10).

It was really neat to see how my girls soaked up what Chris was telling us and how they wanted to change. It was a huge encouragement to me as well! I got a lot of questions answered that I had been wrestling with. I actually got to talk to Chris Brooks personally and tell him what God was doing in my life and how He told me to go to London. He was a very supported and ecstatic to see how Father is working in the lives of me and others.

I share all of this with you guys to show/tell you that God is still working in my life. He didn't just cut off when I knew He wanted me to go to London. No, it's still an on going process; He still shows me new things everyday and reveals Himself to me in various ways. I hope all of you realize that God is ALIVE and He wants to interact in your everyday life! He is interested in the thing in our life that we would refer to as petty! He wants to know us; to have a relationship with us! May God bless all of you!

Prayer Requests
My grandfathers funeral is taking place in his home town of Fresno, Claifornia. We arenot attending and neither is m grandmother, but it will still be a hard day none the less.

That God will give me discernment.

That God will prepare all the JSI's hearts as we partake in this experience.
