Here in San Juan, Dominican Republic there are 7 teams, 46 people, living in one house. It’s a 4 bedroom, 3 and a half bath, 2 story house. We have beds placed everywhere throughout including: the balconies (front and back), the living room, and a hammock city on the patio. With so many people in one house it’s really hard to get alone time with God. My alone time is putting on my IPod, closing my eyes, and praying or praising God. It’s going to take some getting used to. I’m not used to having to fight for alone time.

God has been showing me many things that I need to work on. I didn’t realize it until I got into this close knit community that I am as sensitive as I am. We have time set everyday where our team comes together for feedback (what we did well or anything that we need to work on), prayer, and we talk about what God is doing in us or in the world around us. I have been getting corrected a lot more than I am used to or even like. I didn’t at first, but I thank God for using my teammate’s and squad mate’s to show areas that I need to work on. I am encouraged daily with the people on my squad. Everyone here has a servant heart and is following the voice of the Lord.

 

I can’t express in words how honored I am to be here. I praise God for allowing me to be here and I thank Him for giving each of my supporters the heart to give and pray for me. I am so blessed to have people like you behind me and beside me. I am not alone on this journey. You are with me. I take you everywhere I go. I thank God for you. You are just as much a part of my ministry as me or anyone else on my squad. I pray that God will shower each and every one of you with blessings and grace.

We have to wait till Tuesday morning to start our ministries because our contact, Miguel and his wife are due to have a baby on Monday. It’s still unknown what Team Sol’s ministry will be just yet so please keep that in your prayers, that whatever it is that we do we will be lead by the Holy Spirit and won’t do anything without Him telling us first. I can’t wait to share the many things that God will do through and in us.

My heart keeps crying out to God, “Just tell me and I will go, I will do anything God, anything for you and your Glory. I lay down my life for you. I want to waste my life with the angels, just pouring out praise.” God bless you, men and women of God! Peace be with you. You are constantly in my prayers. I love you!
