Do you ever have this feeling that just when you think you know where your life might be going for a little while, it changes…? Well, I must be special or something, yea something alright. I just wrote a nice blog about heading off to India in a few months and now I must tell you, I will not be going.

 

First off let me start by saying how much I’ve felt your prayers heavy over the past few weeks…I’ve really needed them. I will not be going to India with the Novas Project because after much thought, prayer, and careful decision making, AIM has decided to not proceed with this program. The Lord just does things we don’t understand sometimes…that doesn’t mean we’re not disappointed or frustrated; we just have to trust and obey. (That is a fantastic hymn!) 🙂

Here is what I feel that the Lord is doing in my life currently. I feel as though He is testing my obedience. “Kelsey, if I say go, will you go?” I recall responding with, “Yes, but I think I will drag my feet.” Sure I was excited about India and about a new adventure but I desire to plant and grow somewhere and make an impression and a difference somewhere. I know I discussed concerns about feeling too comfortable here and honestly I cannot say what the Lord is going to do in me to change that but I am seeking Him for that path. A path of constant change and growth toward becoming a strong, God fearing woman.

So I would ask that despite another quickly changing season, you would still partner with me in serving as a full time Missionary here in Georgia serving the Kingdom. The work that is done daily by the staff here in the office is vital to AIM and it’s success. Missionaries can both be serving on foreign soil and typing behind a desk. I have chosen to continue on serving here with AIM, would you stand behind me and this ministry and continue to support me with your love, prayers and finances?

 
Love you all! See you in about two weeks when I’m home for Thanksgiving!!!

  1. I agree with Ericka. Kelsey is an amazing women of God. I have been blessed to see her grow and change and run after the Lord for the past 4 years.

    Kels. Know that I am praying for you and know that the Lord is going to use you in amazing ways in GA.

  2. Oh dear roommate. I’m sad I wasn’t there when you found out that Novas is not going to be running in January. What I do know is that as you continue to search after Christ with all your heart you can not be out of His will, and you will know His voice when He speaks. You’re the best 🙂

  3. woah, friend. this was a surprise. I know you must feel so mixed up right now, but I am (and I know you are, too!) confident in the goodness of our God. Our ministry is what we have our hand to each day-its not a place or a program.
    I hope to see you when I return. When are you headed home for xmas?

  4. Yo!

    Guess I won’t be meeting you in India. Hehe.

    There is always another time for things. Yeah?

    PS. I miss you!

  5. I feel so torn with what to say… “OH NO!” b/c I know you wanted to go and God was working in your heart for India…but “OH YES!!!” because Serena and I get to keep you!!! YAY!!!

    To everyone reading this, SUPPORT KELSEY! She was an INCREDIBLE intern for me and continues to be an incredible employee. She is one of the most mature, responsible young women I’ve ever known. She’s passionate about her work and believes strongly in what she’s doing. I never have to ask her to do anything twice; she is always on top of things and does things with EXCELLENCE right down to the last detail!

    Supporting Kelsey is a wonderful investment!

    To you, Kelsey, I look forward to hearing more about this decision and where God is leading you. Maybe The Sound of Hope campaign will grow (quickly) and we’ll need you to take a trip to India someday! 😉 LOVE YOU!
