1 Week Till Take Off

I still can't believe this is happening. Whenever I think about leaving I have a mild panic attack with everything I have to do. Things were so much more rushed than last time so by brain goes off ever 5 seconds to something else and stresses me out.
I'm so excited though I can't believe it's so soon. I'm totally gunna miss it here though. I think I've built a new appreciation for good old St. Thomas since I left last time haha.
Prayer Request:
- Safe travels
- No problems moving through customs
- God's covering over every aspect
- continual financial support.

I love God

I love God. Every day when I've had a break down or some complication or doubts about going back to YWAM Perth God has had someone encourage me soon after/during it.
I was talking to the leader of the school I'm doing - Joe, and he was so great. He gave me a bunch of adive and I'm so stoked now knowing how many people are praying for me. If you're one of them I just want to say thank you because I don't know where my life would've taken me without your prayers. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I've had so many chats with God about youth and if that's really where He wants me to be right now or if that's where Im suppose to be headed. Some people find it hard to believe a solid "yes" and I have to admit that at times I've been like, "God I can't live with just that, what if it's just me, I need confirmation." Through the converstaions I've had, the people I've worked with in and outside of YWAM and on outreaches I've really come to the point where I can't see myself not working with youth. I can't see myself not being a part of the change that is so desperately needed here. People have asked me why Australia, why do you have to go back there. I'm going back to do the Youth Ministries Training school because God asked me to and even though I have no idea how it's going to work out whether 20 people give 200 dollars or 40 give 100 or God miraculously just puts it in my bank account like I know He can, I do know one thing - He called me to do this school. To learn about this generation. To start to see where my future might be headed and the type of people I could be working with.
While in Australia I said a couple weeks longer after the DTS ended and staffed a camp. It was incredible. The converstaions and relationships that were built during those 5 short days have really been the motivator behind me really wanting to make a difference. Being able to build trusting relationship with youth where I can have the priviledge of being used by God whether just through a friendship or helping someone through a hard time, I'm just glad God chose me.
I'm so excited and so much looking forward to going back and experiencing and learning new things. Thank you for supporting me .. thank you for the time you've spent pouring into my life. I guess now it's time for me to do the same to others.

Countdowns Begun

Hello hello.. so I'm starting to realize how close I am to leaving .. :S pretty nerve racking, I'm not gunna lie. Everythings still being taken care of though because of last minute confusions. IE Visa application and flight confirmations. I hate flying to Australia not only does it waste of few days of my life haha, but it sets me back at least 2000 dollars .. anyways. If anyone knows any cheap flights sent an email my way.
Anyways I just thought I'd let those of you who are keeping up with this how things are going. Right now I'm trying to gracefull get through the panic of finances stage. I know God will provide but it's the ridiculous human side of my that won't stop worrying.
Anways I know it'll all work out and I'll be there in like 17 days! woot.
Please keep praying for finances for school. I'm still in need of at least 6000 to start the school.
Thanks so much.
Mucho Amore
