Welcome Friends and Family

Here starts my journal of thoughts... preparing for, during, and after the MAD DTS with YWAM. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, etc.

45 days and counting

These days are rolling by faster and faster. A week goes by and I think, "Shoot! I was going to do this and going to do that..." It seems my time management skills have gone down the toilet all of the sudden. I wasn't a rockstar at it before, but I think I'm noticing it because my days remaining in MN are few.

I just connected with a girl who found me in a "Facebook" group for YWAM Brisbane. She's from the cities and is still waiting a reply to see if she has been accepted in the the MAD DTS for this October. What am I freaking out about... I've known for 6months and she hasn't even been accepted. The fact is, there's a real chance she may not be accepted because it may be filled already... etc. She did just graduate highschool though, so I think at that point in life it's easier to just up and leave (from the responsibilities standpoint).

I guess we'll see :). It might be cool to actually have a fellow Minnesotan there.

There's actually another crazy connection to her, but it's a longer story, so I'll end with just this tonight.

Have a good night.

Gracias for Prayer...

Updates and "praises" for prayer...

1. My visa application was accepted and approved!! I actually found out the NEXT DAY! I was completely astonished. Many thanks went up that day!

2. Plane Tickets have been purchased. yikes... this thing is SO real. excitement is rising.
I have a stop in Fiji, for real!?!! Sweet, only like 2/4 hours, but hey, I can say I've been to Fiji!! Also New Zealand.. rockin!

3. Last week's prayer request about work... sounds like it will work out! Wild, that means only a month and a week left... that's a weird feeling.

4. Financial support is coming along... sometimes it feels like it crawls, but then it'll jump. Just letting go of the "need to know" has helped... although it's not easy.
