Thanksgiving!

Wow how time flys! It seems like just yesterday I was getting ready to leave for YWAM and now here it is 2 months later and I am home for Thanksgiving! I wasn't supposed to come home for Thanksgiving, but on Monday my Mom received news that she most likely does not have MS, but could possibly have Devic's Disease and so I felt a real need to be home with the family for the holiday! So I left at 11:30 AM on Tuesday and drove 17 hours with my good friend Grady to be home with the fam for Thanksgiving! We arrived at my house at around 4:30 am on Wednesday and my parents were thrilled to see me! It has been wonderful to be home and with family for a few days! Thinks at YWAM are amazing! I have fallen in love with Jesus in such a new and exciting way and have learned first hand about giving Him total control of my life! In January, my team and I will leave for Huston, TX for 2 weeks to do some street evangelism and then off to Uganda for a month!! I am so pumped to be in Africa and working in the orphanages!!! I know that God is going to reveal himself to us in such amazing ways while we are there! Classes at YWAM have been amazing and I know that God has me there for such a time as this. The weather is amazing in Texas and coming back to Indiana with the snow on the ground was quite a shock! LOL! I sent out and will be sending out more newsletters this week! Thanks so much for your continued prayers and support as I continue to seek God's will for my life!!

As this weekend comes to an end I am just reminded of how much I have to be thankful for!! God has blessed me in ways I never could have imagined! I have an amazing family, great friends, and God continues to provide all my needs! I hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving and may God bless you this holiday season!
