Isn’t it funny how quickly life and plans can change?! Yea, I thought that when I found out about two weeks ago that I am supposed to go to India this January. Yep, you read that correctly, India! So, here’s the little story behind this….September of last year I felt the Lord saying that I was to go to India January 2010 (which I told many of you). I sort of pushed that idea aside because I wasn’t really up for it…or so I thought! Up until about two weeks ago I was sold out for the AIM office for at least a year, but someone πŸ˜‰ had other plans. Through some praying and chatting with friends and leadership at AIM, I made the jump and decided to do the Novas Project this January. The Novas Project is an eight month program mimicking the life of a missionary in a foreign country. I will spend two months in Mexico Training at the AIM base there then off to India after that! The cost for this program is $9,500.00 I have to have at least 60% of that by January 12th. Please be praying for the Lord to provide this large amount of finances needed. Also as I begin to prepare my heart, would you pray against distractions and things that would hinder my growth throughout the next few months. I appreciate you and all your support over the past year, thanks for being a part of this year with me….I hope to journey many more with you all!

Change again! Oh when will this end….just kidding, I know change is good and without change our lives would be boring. And plus, it probably means you’re in a good place when you can hear Gods voice and move, even if you can’t see the end of the tunnel and you don’t know why. Anyway, I am very excited to be entering into something new, yet again! πŸ™‚ I am going to miss the friendships I’ve made here in G’ville but I’ll be back probably before they can even miss me!

Unfortunately, in the midst of this new, good, exciting news there’s some not so good news…I will not be able to go to Swaziland in October. πŸ™ Due to my finances and lack of interest in the trip this fall, Swazi isn’t going to happen for me. Thank you for all of your prayers and support, I apologize for the disappointment. Maybe someday in the future my heart will encounter the treasures of Swazi, for now, we’ll just have to wait and see.
 

Keep checking for more updates about India, finances, and my adventures in G’ville. Love you all! My ministry wouldn’t be possible without such wonderful people like you!!! πŸ™‚
