Since my last blog so much has happened ! One thing I can say is that the Lord is beautiful in His work, timing, and provision. I also want to take time to say a huge thank you to everyone who has subscribed to this blog ! The support and feedback since my last post has been amazing and so encouraging. I am so happy to hear when the Lord has used me to speak to people in many ways and through so many different circumstances.
In the last few weeks I had a fundraiser where I cut hair for 1 day at a house some ladies opened up to me from church. These same woman have also been a tremendous support to me spiritually the last few months. After just one day and just 15 haircuts later, I counted the money in my donation bowl and it totaled 700 $ !!!!! Praise the Lord. From that day the support has been on coming and overwhelmed by love can't even begin to describe how i feel . Through clients at the hair salon dropping off donations before my last day and amazing support from my church body at Calvary Fellowship I am happy to say I am 25 % funded

This past week I have had to go through a lot of transitions. I moved from my apartment downtown Ottawa back home with my parents in North Bay. I am so greatful for the love and support of my family but that also doesn't mean it was an easy change. It is a freeing feeling driving down the highway with all of your things packed into one van but once I got into town I was hit with a crazy amount of emotions and have been trying to stay focused on the Lord for strength to overcome this huge change.
After living two years away from home I have gone through many changes that I would say are for the best. ( And I am sure my friends and family could testify to that ) Moving away from home made me lonely, scared, vulnerable, poor, and lost. The only thing I could turn to, or new where I would immediately feel welcomed and cared for was church. It was in Ottawa that I truly regained my faith and walked with the Lord because I realized how I needed His love and it was there that I was transformed because I fully received His love and soon I was trying my best to pour it out everywhere I went.
This past weekend I was overwhelmed by all of the love from my co workers, boss, and church family. I realized that I was leaving such a comfortable place that I have been so blessed with because God doesn't call us to be comfortable.
" Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won't you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? For if you lay the foundation and are not abe to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, saying, " This person began to build and was not able to finish" Luke 14: 28-30
I believe that through the strength of the Lord I have been laying a foundation in my life that is getting stronger every day. I also know that this foundation can seem very comfortable and if I do not follow Gods call on my heart then this foundation is all I will be left with. So as sad as it is to leave I also know that these crazy changes and emotions I feel are good because that means I have to work harder, study deeper, and continuously pray so that His light can still shine brighter.
It is hard to feel small in this big world and to get so overwhelmed by circumstances in our lives that we feel useless and unequip for many things. But consider this truth about the body.
Now if the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body.The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don’t need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don’t need you!"On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 1 Corinthians 12:15-23
Knowing that I play a role in a functioning body and that without my movement and action I could be hindering the beautiful effect it could have towards the Kingdom of God makes me feel pretty useful! It doesn't matter where you are at now, every single day there are opportunities within your home, church, workplace, mall, or going overseas to be a part of this beautiful movement. The Lord sees all, knows all, and hears all! He takes account of every little thing because to Him little become big, sadness becomes joy, stress and anxiety become patience and peace, fancy things look like garbage , the poor are seen as rich, and the stain of sin is washed clean. A wonderful example our live from His point of view is found in Matthew 18:12-14
"What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
And again when the Lord speaks to Samuel before he sends David into battle Goliath-
But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
So this blog was supposed to be just a little fundraising update but I feel like some things were put on my heart to share. I would appreciate if I could have anyones prayer support right now in this time of transition and I would also love to pray for any of you guys! so feel free to contact me anytime.
God bless !
