Wow, a whole month has passed since I arrived home from my YWAM DTS outreach in Mexico City. I absolutely loved Mexico and being there. While I was in Mexico City (one of the largest cities in the world) the Lord really broke me down and humbled me as I lived and conformed to their ways of life. I have been changed in so many ways because of it and have really developed a heart to see the world saved for Jesus! I love being a missionary and going out to just serve wherever I can. Right now I am home in Minnesota, where I feel God has called me for at least one semester of University.. I know that it's not exactly what comes to mind when hears the word "missionary", but I believe we are all called to be missionaries wherever we are, and as we begin to run after the Lord, we begin to find our purpose and how He can specifically use us. As long as we are in the will of God, He opens many opportunities and I think to find our exact path in that we just have to decipher which is the one that holds our heart at the moment. At home, God has been so faithful. My younger sisters are beginning to grow in their faith, which is none of my doings at all, so it is really amazing to see how God is just at work in my home with my family. And at Normandale College, where I am going to school, I have a few classes where God has revealed the ways He wants me to be used to be a light to those there.. for example, I am enrolled in a psychology class, and my teacher posed the question, "What is the key to happiness?" And in my head I am screaming "JESUS!!!" But I knew if I spoke that in the class discussion right away I would lose all credibility for anyone to listen to me, so I really have been seeking the Lord's word on just how to speak truth into the lives of others in my class without them really realizing it, which is kind of cool. I am also receiving many opportunities to serve at church or join prayer groups so that has been a real blessing as well. I have discovered being home that even if you don't see how God is going to use you where He calls you to start with, just keep being persistent in pursuing Him and they will be revealed as you do.
"Seek first the kingdom of God and all else will follow after you."
