Hey everyone!

So, I’ve learned a few things in this season of rest before my trip. As most of you know I’m still battling getting a negative Covid test, even though I’m not contagious anymore. I need certain kinds to get into Guatemala. The things I‘ve been learning over these last couple of weeks have been a blessing.

One of the things I will talk about is the mind. The mind is a precious gift we have been given. Without the mind we wouldn‘t be completely human. Now, with this gift we need to protect it. I’ve realized that I have the tendency to dwell on things that aren’t good for the mind. It’s a battle I’m willing to fight against. We need to protect our minds! From the mind stems the rest of the fruit of our lives.

Another lesson I have learned has been that I can be way to focused on my future goal and working to get there that I tend to neglect the people right in front of me. My ministry is not just my job, or the mission trip I’m working towards, but my current personal life and who I influence during that time.

These lessons I’m grateful to have learned, but to be honest I wish I would have understood them before hand. I’m tired of always having to learn the hard way. I guess that comes with being stubborn.

Im still believing in the promise that I will be on the mission field soon. I’m just waiting on God’s timing. I know He has called me to this and I will obey, in this season of waiting as well.

“Therefore, gird up your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” -1 Peter 1:13

Prayer requests:

That my next test will come back negative

That I will trust in God’s timing 

That I wouldn‘t be in such a rush

Thank you to everyone for the support. I could not have done it alone!
