The other day I was sitting through a lecture, and I realized God had a huge plan for me. I thought to myself, "I am either going to take Jesus seriously, or I am just gonna pack my bags and go home and live a lukewarm/ unbiblical life." God has changed my heart so much and has transformed my desires and needs. I need Jesus. I surrender being a teacher, getting married, having children, etc. I will only go where He wants me to go, I will say what He wants me to say, and I will do what He wants me to do. This is where the rubber meets the road. I am either in or out.
I tell Jesus everyday that I am His, and He is mine. I have fallen in love with Jesus, He has romanced me. I am in so much freedom when I die to myself everyday. I no longer try to be some fancy adult, but I am now who I am, who God wants me to be- a child lying in His arms. A father likes when his child draws Him pictures and gives Him mud pies and critters she found outside, but a Father LOVES when his child sleeps quietly in His arms, vulnerable and weak. That is what I am doing for the rest of my life. Surrendering and being weak in the eyes of the Lord.
You can do this too. Christ came to set you free. Life is incredible once you die to it.
Prayer Requests:
- For others in Paia ( a hippy/surfer town) to come to know Christ.
- Homesickness ( I am a family girl, I miss them so much).
- More patience.
I love you guys and I have never been happier. Thank you for all of the prayers and thoughts.
We leave for Borneo in a little over a month. Please continue to pray for team unity and patience.

God gave me a vision. I saw a little girl in Borneo. Her face is so beautiful and her smile is full of hope. I saw myself playing soccer with her and smiling and laughing. She reminds me of who I was when I was little, and she also reminds me of who I am now, just a little girl who loves Jesus. Her heart is innocent and she needs love. God will lead me to her in Borneo! I just know it!
Mahalo Friends!
Your sister,
