Support Rose For A Day!

 

Hello Friends. 
This week has been a great one for me. For the first time in a long time I've been able to rest. Not just take a much needed break before I get to the a million and one things to do on my list or run to class. I've been able to take some deep breathes, enjoy Christmas lights, take some long walks, watch a couple of movies, have some good times with Jesus and family, and have long phone calls with Marisa and Joanna. It has been so good to be able to slow down a bit and just enjoy some things.
This Tuesday we took our annual family trip down to San Antonio. It was so fun to see the missions and Riverwalk again. Plus I got to enjoy a lot of time with my awesome family. 
It's hard to believe that Christmas is next week! I feel like this year it came so fast, maybe because I have been traveling so much. I haven't been here for a lot of the build up. But I am so thankful to be here and celebrating the holidays with the most amazing family I know.
In addition I've also launched my support Rose for a Day Campaign. It's simple. When you support me for a gift of $50 I get supported for a day and you get a t-shirt that says I supported Rose for a day. With your gift of $75 I get supported for a day and you get a hoodie that says I supported Rose for a day. If you can support me in either of these ways click this link.
If you want to watch a video about what God taught me in DTS and hear my plans for the future click here. 
I've also been spending some time in prayer over going back to YWAM. I'd like to go in January, but I am also trying to remain open to what God wants me to do. If He wants me to go in January (2 weeks away!) then I know He will provide for me. If He wants me to wait until March to go back, I know He will make that clear. While I want to go now, I'm praying and entrusting myself into His capable hands. I know He will make it clear.
Please pray that God's best plan will win!
Waiting, praying, breathing, and enjoying life, Rose

How Things Turned Out

Image
  For those of you who still follow this blog, the story with that guy is turning out so well.  We continued to date and get to know each other. In December Stewart asked me to marry him and I happily said yes. On March 25th, we got married. I'm so grateful that God gave me this kind and Godly man to walk by my side and for the life I'm getting to live.   My mission is still the same, I'm just doing it on a different mission field than I thought. I'm still seeking to love God and people. I'm still seeking to encourage those around me and be the servant God has called me to be.  Thank you to everyone who has loved and supported me on my missions journey. I'm so thankful for the adventure God gave me and for the people like you who cheered me on. Thanks for continuing to cheer me on in this new adventure of marriage.  May God continue to bless and encourage you.  Happily Married, Rose

The Adventure Begins!

  Today my YWAM adventure begins! After 3 months of preparation I'm starting my adventure with Jesus. This last week was bittersweet. On Sunday my home church prayed for me and my time at YWAM. I am grateful for the love and support they have poured into me. It made their prayer for me all the sweeter. Then when we got home, we had a sibling birthday bash. Everyone voted they would rather celebrate early than to miss doing it with me. I have the best family. We had lots of presents, two cakes, and a lot of laughter. It was great and a time I will treasure.  Monday through Thursday I was busy running errands, packing, cleaning up my room, and hugging family. It's been an emotional and exciting time. Saying goodbye is tough, but the excitement of this new adventure carries me forward.  I spent Friday driving up to Lindale and spending time with my mom. She has been such a great support on this journey. I'm so thankful that we got to have some special time together before I go

Learning To Hear

  Wow! The Lord is so good. I've been blown away by His love and care for me.  For starters the 4th of July was great. We swam in the lake, ate hot dogs and burgers with a ton of good sides, had a good time of fellowship, and then went to watch fireworks over a lake. They were beautiful. I was mesmerized.  This week we have been learning about hearing the voice of God. Our teacher was a man named Josh Langer. Originally from Germany, he was a very engaging speaker. I found myself amazed by how many different ways God communicates with us and how He invites us to partner with Him in the great commission. We looked at things that hinder us from hearing the voice of God and what our heart posture should be in approaching God. It was amazing how he brought truths to light that I knew already, but had become buried. I feel like I've been able to clear dirt away from precious jewels and examine their beauty again.  One of the things I'm really enjoying about YWAM is t
