DTS has sure been cruising by faster than I would like it to, same with most things enjoyed in life; like camping trips or summer camps. In the past weeks I have had amazing opportunities to experience many new things. For those who have read my last blog I have now indeed saw a kangaroo, in fact close to 25 of them along with some emu and many other interesting creatures of God. Along with that I was able to experience life on a 9,000 acre cotton farm volunteering for a few days during harvest, a bit different than a corn harvest I must say.
During my most recent weeks in lecture time, the biggest thing I took out of it was surrender to God. We had a week about missions and giving up our plans that we had in life and doing with our lives what God desires us to do. Matthew 6:25, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? It can be hard to do, but I've found it to be so relieving. I know that God alone knows the best way and I know I can trust him over myself to set up my life path. It is definitally a huge leap of faith but I believe that God will move.
When we surrender to God we need to look at it as an awesome thing; rather than dreading it and thinking that we have to give everything up. When you get married I don't think as your getting married that you think awe man now I have to surrender to her. Your most likely happy to surrender to your best friend. When we surrender our old nature to the Lord we kill our old things in life and God gives us new life. When you do this, you put peace into your life and you no longer need to worry about things in life; instead you can have rest and know that God will sheppard you, he will guide you.
After my time at the cotton farm Scott Armstrong the farm owner offered me to come back and work for him anywhere from 6-12 months through a program called Agriventure for a good wage. I have also been thinking about the possibility of continuing in YWAM for a while as a staff member. If I were to choose either of these opportunities that have been laid upon me I would like for God to help me with this choice. Could you please partner with me in prayer with this decision and also that God would provide for me financially. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog, God Bless!!
