Well I have made it to Month 3 and cannot be more excited!   Sometimes I still have to remind myself that I am not dreaming and this is real life.  I am actually on the world race, traveling to 11 different countries and living out God’s love.  God has already taught me so much and has opened my eyes to thing I never thought I would experience.

 Let me recap for you:

Dominican Republic…Month 1
This was a month where God showed me that I can put my trust in Him and in my team.  Living with 6 complete strangers is never an easy task but luckily God put us together to form a family.  We had to learn about one another and start the journey of building comfort and safety with each other. 
The Dominican people opened up their hearts and homes to us.  We became a part of their community.  It was so much fun to minister to the high schools, preschools, children and church members! 

Haiti….Month 2
This was a hard month!  Satan definitely was afraid of us and did everything in his power to make us run.  We were robbed, had a lot of serious sicknesses, survived a hurricane and I got stitches.  The environment was very heavy and a lot of the times we were afraid to leave our house. 
But we didn’t let Satan win…we learned a lot about ourselves and grew to love our team even more. We were surrounded my an amazing church that fought for us and was there through all the hard times.
I learned a lot about love…..how I need to love myself and I need to love God before I love his people!  I had a lot of healing and process going on.  I’m thankful for the time I had even though it was in a hard environment!

Debrief #1
We had our first Debrief.  This is a time as a Squad we come together and process through the last few months and enjoy some much needed R&R.  We were supposed to do this in the Dominican Republic but Hurricane Sandy had others idea and kept us in Haiti. 

 

Now I want to turn the tables on YOU guys.   For all my wonderful followers, prayer warriors and financial supporters….I would not be able to experience all that I have without your help.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!
 

I am so thankful for every person that is behind me and encouraging me from so many miles away!   I love reading comments, emails and messages on Facebook from all of you back home.  They help me more then you know, especially on the days when I get homesick and wonder why God has allowed me to travel to so many places. 
 
 
The prayers you guys are offering on my behalf have meant more to me than anything.  Especially last month with so much darkness around us, I could feel you all lifting me up and surround my team with your love and prayers.   

I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU for all my financial supports.  I literally would not be here writing this blog if it weren’t for you!   This trip is not cheap and I hope God has blessed you as you have all blessed me.   It has meant the world to me that so many people are willing to help me out in ways I never thought was possible!  

So again thank you from the bottom of my heart!  I am doing something that is life changing and I am so grateful to be a part of something so big.  God is so powerful and I love seeing Him at work in so many countries.  I have definitely realized that He is just not a God of American but a God of the whole world!  He loves us so much and I can’t wait to share His love in 9 more countries. 

Please keep the prayers coming, please keep the messages, emails and comments coming.  If God places on your heart to help me financially that would be amazing.  I am still in need to meet my goal.  I know this is where I am supposed to be and God is going to provide!   Nothing is impossible with God!!!

I love you all and can’t wait to have more adventures!!!!
