Dear Friends and Family,
I hope this letter finds you well. I want to thank you for your support last year as I was traveling the nations following the call of the Father. Last year could not have happened without your prayers and your monetary resources so thank you from the bottom of my heart. I pray that as you read this letter you are encouraged by the way you played a role in the big picture of Gods story. We all have different parts to play and together we built Kingdom for years to come. Seeds were planted and a harvest was picked.
“Just as our bodies have many parts and each part
has a special function, so it is with Christ’s
body.
We are many parts of one body, and we
all belong to each other.”
(Romans 12:4-5 NLT)
Last year was also a year of growth, getting out of my comfort zone and building the kingdom in some crazy bucket list places. A year of small steps for big change, saying “yes!” when I wanted to say no and letting the Father have his way in every step and place in my life. The Father spent a lot of time reshaping my mind and showing me truths to so many lies I had believed for too many years. Healing has begun to happen, tuning into what I know is the voice of the Father and knowing I hear Him without question. In October sitting under the stars in Ethiopia, looking up at the Milky Way, the Father shared with me that this was exact place He had planned for me to be before I was even born.
So I ask you this:
Have you been in a place that you knew that Father had for you before you were born? I pray if not, you will. It is like hitting the jackpot full of gold, but this is not a once in a lifetime moment. The Father has so many for you. I pray you step into all the crazy moments He calls you to and simply follow Him with everything you got.
The Father spoke so clearly to me this past year.
He showed me what a good Father He is in EVERY season.
Be Bold, Be Brave, and ALWAYS move with Love

P.S.
If I had to summarize last year into one statement that rang louder then anything else,
this is it…
“I have found unexplainable joy
resting
in the presence of my Father
knowing
that I am his
beloved daughter.”
He spoke these words over and over to me last year and I have been able to find so much freedom in them.
