Feeling LOVED and BLESSED!

Hello friends and family~

Greetings from an ever increasingly hot Nicaragua! I hope this finds you all well.

Just a few quick notes and prayer requests.

First of all, I want to thank you all for the encouragement! I have been overwhelmed with e-mails, Facebook messages, and my parents or sister telling me that you've asked about me....it's so encrouaging to hear from people and I just want to thank you! I feel very blessed and loved, and it's a great place to be ;-) THANK YOU!!!


A brief version of my last month...

I LOVED EVERY MINUTE (ok, almost every minute) of my time with my parents and the rest of the team in Honduras! We saw well over 1000 people in 4 1/2 days and just had a GREAT team of people there! I met a lot of new friends, got aquainted with some old ones and was just VERY blessed by my time there. Honduras is a beautiful country full of people who are desperate for hope and love that they can only get through Christ and it was a humbling and amazing experience to be His hands and feet that week in a very real and evident way! Any of you thinking of doing a mission trip, I encourage you to just jump in with both feet, you can't experience something like that and not see changes. I think the biggest thing for me over the past 2 years in Nicaraugua and Honduras is seeing God in a whole new way and experiencing Him on a whole new level...there are just not words to descirbe it! I have a lump in my throat as I type, it's just an overwhelming sense of how real He is and it is a priceless experience! I know I'll be in Honduras next February and I'd love to see many of you there with me ;-)


Adoption....wow! I'm overwhelmed with the amount of information, time, work, money and everything else this process may demand from me. However, God has put this on my heart for a reason, and I believe He will see it to completion in some way or another. I don't have a whole lot more info on it...I've been trying to call a lawyer for a week now and can't get ahold of her...SO, I wait. I know I can start a home study in the States when I'm home next month...other than that, I still don't have many answers. I am full of fear over the whole process and what this will do to my life, but I was SO encouraged by so many of you....I appreciate the support and continued prayers for this process.


Decision time is March 1, however this morning I requested an extension and was granted it! I'm laughing because I just can not make up my mind. I'm leaning very heavily towards returning to the States for now, and seeing where God will bring me next....but I just can't make that decision final. SO, I covet your prayers for that as well. I was hoping to have made a decision by now, but it's just been more difficult than I expected it to be. My hope is in Proverbs 16:9 "In his heart, a man plans his course but the Lord determines his steps." My plan may not be the same as God's and I just want to be sure that it is, so I'm taking a little extra time to seek more answers in my heart. So, please pray with me ;-)


As always, my financial support is a concern for me. I should be at 80% right now, and I'm at about 70%. Please consider supporting my work financially. God is good and I know He will provide...HE ALWAYS DOES :-)

As always, continue to pray for safety in my work here.


Thanks for checking in on me and praying for me! You are all a HUGE part of my ministry here by supporting me, know that every e-mail, every FB message, and every time you check with my family on me....it is noticed and appreciated!

Love and Blessings~
