The Mission Begins

 

Sometimes God surprises you with the way He answers a prayer that you have been praying for years. 

The last few years I've been dealing with a restlessness I couldn't shake. It didn't make a lot of sense to me. I live with a great family, a good job, and great friends. Yet there was part of me that wanted a great adventure in the great wide... somewhere. There was the rub. I was restless for a new adventure and wasn't sure where I was supposed to go. I looked into a lot of different things only to have the doors close. I had stopped trying and had become so weary. 

It was then that my mom encouraged me to look into doing something over the summer. I was nervous about knocking on any doors, but felt like I should. Through a series of God orchestrated events I looked into Youth With A Mission in Tyler, TX. I barely knocked on the door and God threw it wide open for me. I'll explain more in the days to come, but for now here's the main details.

• I've been accepted to the summer Discipleship Training School!
• The first 3 months are training in Tyler. Learning who God is and listening to His voice.
• The next two months are a foreign missions trip. 
• I leave on the 26th of June.
• I'm super excited about this!
• I will (hopefully) be posting a short update every Saturday to let you know how things are going and what God has been up to.  

Adventure Awaits! Let's go!
